I was thinking the same thing: this enormous tomb is a little much for a president who was in office for just six months. I get that Garfield was assassinated, I read Destiny of the Republic, but when compared to the modest tombs of say, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson it really seems like someone was overcompensating...

Thanks! I do historical research professionally, so I have a lot of experience to quick look-ups. I love this kind of stuff.

For the gravestone type I used a great reference book by Douglas Keister called Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography. That mentioned the Sears Catalog connection, so I looked the stone up in a catalog archive I have access to through ancestry.com.

I found Mr. Tunstall listed as an railroad engineer on the 1880 census. I figured that his profession and the fact he died young suggested there was a chance it was in an railroad accident. Using the date of death from his tombstone I found the report of his death in an online newspaper archive.
