Her name on her gravestone is Tenney C. There is no reference to the name Belle, and I have seen nothing else to indicate what this C might stand for. When this name Tenney C is read, you can hear that the letter C is the spelling of the last part of Tennessee. Tennie was a nickname, of course, for Tennessee. When said together Tennie-C makes the name Tennessee.
The genealogist providing this photo, T A Maffit, reports that the grave is in the St Charles Cemetery. However, Find a Grave reports that they are buried in Chute Cemetery, which is several miles south of St Charles, and east of DeWitt. FaG gives the location of Chute Cemetery as DeWitt, but it is several miles east of DeWitt, south of Ethel.
