The Mystery of the Stray Headstone

About a year ago, a headstone appeared on the side of a road in the city of Weed, Calif.
Jennifer Bryan, a member of the Siskiyou County Genealogical Society in Yreka, Calif., is trying to find out where it belongs. The stone has never been set into concrete, she says, but it is engraved:

About a year ago, a headstone appeared on the side of a road in the city of Weed, Calif.
Jennifer Bryan, a member of the Siskiyou County Genealogical Society in Yreka, Calif., is trying to find out where it belongs. The stone has never been set into concrete, she says, but it is engraved:
William C. Vann"We've checked with all the local cemeteries, monument stone carvers and funeral homes, and haven't been able to local where this headstone belongs," Jennifer writes. "We realize this may be a 'rejected' headstone, or perhaps it was lost in shipping and the engraver has created a new one for the family by now."
Dec., 7, 1910 - May 5, 1972
But in case William C. Vann's family (or maybe a delivery truck driver who got in a bit of hot water) is wondering what became of his headstone, Jennifer and her fellow society members are asking for your help.
Anyone researching a Vann family, possibly in California, that William may have belonged to? Got a theory how the stone came to be on the roadside? Click Comments (below) to post here.
Here's a photo of the stone:

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"
Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico.
Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad.
La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
