I really am drawn to the 2nd image.
I like the dramatic lighting and the contrast between the shade area and the sunlit area of the 2nd image. Also I like the white grave marker being the subject.

Nice

... did you find him? A picture of the writing on the stone would be a great finale.

As they were getting closer, here is what I and a Sister in Law came across for this shot. John Stewart was actually my Great Granddad and a 49'er. He made a small fortune in the California gold fields. He more or less had this Catholic Church built in Summitville, Ohio. Thanks for prodding a finale out of me Gord!

I've added a quickie alternative version (could have done better with a higher rez image but hopefully you get the idea):
