I believe this headstone to be that of Mathew J. Duke and Highly J. Duke...or at least one of them.
Mathew J. Duke, Sept 4, 1835- Oct 1, 1892
Highly J. (Stockard) Duke, Feb 20, 1843- Dec 6, 1901
Though the stone is face down, their footstones give evidence as this being their graves.

The above pictures are of Charlie Duke's headston. Though the lettering on the top portion is very hard to read...the base clearly says Charlie.

I had other pictures, but they are very hard to make out. I will have to retake them!!
