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.
