A Stone In Battle Creek Sparks Curiosity About Doris Johnson

There is a stone on a building off Territorial in Battle Creek that is dedicated to a woman who was married in Battle Creek, and nobody knows why it's there.

The stone commemorates the passing of Doris Johnson, who passed away in 1955. She was married into the Ploehn family in 1944 in Battle Creek, but passed away elsewhere.

According to ancestors.org, although Doris Johnson was married in Battle Creek, she moved to Grayling, and eventually passed away while in Kalamazoo, and was buried all the way back up in Grayling, making the dedication even stranger:

When Doris Arlene Johnson was born on 7 April 1927, in Grayling, Crawford, Michigan, United States, her father, Clare Foster Johnson, was 37 and her mother, Elsie Anna Markby, was 30. She married Theodore Frederich Ploehn on 19 November 1944, in Battle Creek, Calhoun, Michigan, United States. She lived in Grayling Township, Crawford, Michigan, United States in 1930. She died on 21 July 1955, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States, at the age of 28, and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Grayling, Crawford, Michigan, United States.

Interestingly enough, I found a Facebook post in a group that is themed around the Ploehn family, which is rather large, and the grandson of Doris visited her grave in Grayling, MI, and I reached out to try and get any information he may have as to why she is dedicated in stone on this particular building:

This was Theodore Ploehn Jr.'s mom.Her maiden name was Johnson, [but] in our family tree it shows Doris Ploehn. She’s buried in Grayling, Michigan. I’m the son of Theodore Ploehn Junior. She was so young when she passed. She will be missed. Grandma passed in 1955, I believe.

Do you know why her death date would be memorialized on a stone on a building in the city where she was married in, on this random building?
