Multiple sources confirm that he is buried here without a stone. Rachel unfortunately has not yet had a burial place identified, however, I believe she is here with him.
Enoch married Rachel Sipes in Ontario, where the couple had a farm in Blenheim, Oxford, Ontario, before coming to the US in 1872. Their 14 children lived all over between Michigan and Canada.
Enoch was memorialized multiple times in the local papers, however, each of them have a different name (William Graves and Daniel Graves, respectively). The story is the same in each, that he was sitting in his chair at neighbor J.E. Williams house when it was hit by lightning. Being 80 years old, it caused his death instantly, whereas others in the room sustained only shocks. The family's own documents also reflect this date with the name Enoch.
No middle name has yet been discovered, and I suspect that he may be Enoch Daniel Graves or Daniel Enoch Graves, but that has not yet been proven. Rachel Sipes Graves, his loving wife, has not been located yet and I suspect she could also be buried in Mt. Zion along with him as they were a poor farming family who may not have been able to purchase a stone for the two of them.
