Update July, 2014:
In May 2013 I finally found the Broughton grave site in Evergreen Cemetery. It is in a back section, directly across from the fish pond and old willow trees next to it.  It is a lovely stone for the family with individual small headstones behind it. Ira was, apparently, married twice:
