Hello Alison. Sorry this one got overlooked.
The gravestone is in poor condition caused by it being under a tree and having lead lined letter.
Here is what can be read and I am afraid it is not a lot.

In loving memory of a dear wife and mother Dorothy Esther? Featherstone, December/28/1943 aged 57 years.

Hello Sue. There are about ten gravestones for Stephenson.
Was there any particular era that you are interested in?
