No, the census doesn't show charges, nor length of stay, etc. Altho you could probably check with the library in Unionville and see if they have anything in the newspaper there around that date showing what he might have done to have been incarcerated. I found it odd that 2 men and 1 woman with her 6 month old child would be in jail at the same time. I know they had separate cells, but to my knowledge, there were just bars between the different cells. I would imagine that the baby was with the mother to be fed? Wonder what kind of special arrangements would have been made for her? I also found it odd that the wife listed him on the census while the jail did also. And my gg grandparents were listed in 2 different counties that year. I can't help you with where she's buried. Possibly someone else has the cemetery records and can provide that information. That's one of the set of books I'm hoping to get next. Good luck in finding the information. Oh, the library should also be able to tell you what library. And someone sent me a new cemetery site today.. I'll forward it to the list. You can search by state.
