I think it says 'Joseph Meadowlark'. It would be nice if someone from a local historical conservation society would clean it. It's important not to use bleach or harsh chemicals/tools. I've seen videos of volunteers who clean headstones.

I think it actually says "Joseph M Clark" and is the gravesite featured here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23728618/joseph-m-clark

That find a grave site is amazing. I've found the marker of every relative I've ever looked for during a midnight rabbit hole.

How long before there's a search engine that calculates where any living person is? Wouldn't be a far stretch to think some governments already have that.

Smart phones already do that.

Looks like born 1835, died 1881, can’t read the months/dates though
