MADELINE
ELLEN
Wife of
Joseph Bertrand
Died
​Oct. 14,  1846
Aged 67 yrs

*note Madeline's name was incorrectly given as "Ellen" on the stone.  The "Madeline" inscription was added sometime in the 20th century. An image of the stone in a July 14, 1949 SB Tribune article does not show the "Madeline" inscription.

The unusual cross featured on Madeline's tombstone features a heart in the center of the cross, a stole-like hanging on the cross with the Jesus monogram I.H.S. and wavy lines behind, perhaps reminiscent of the St. Joseph River.
