Well, I do not live in this county, but I found the obit listed here http://history.cdpl.lib.in.us

That site will give you info about ordering the obit, which could give some clues about the family. Or you can go to www.raogk.org and find a volunteer for this county. I don't live in the area. Also, for the headstone photo, you can post a memorial and then a photo request at findagrave.com. I believe there are a number of volunteers in that area who would be able to get that for you.
