    Inscription on monument in photo: CORTEZ RENNE / SEPT. 7 1838 x MAR. 10 1840 / JEROME B. RENNE / NOV. 12, 1841 x FEB. 22, 1884 / 2ND LIEUT. CO A 53RD ILL. INFT. Since Cortez died 8 years before Jerome's family moved to Grundy, and Jerome is buried in Los Angeles, this appears to be a very nice monument, but not a burial.
