Noah and William were names used often, so the attached picture of a grave stone in the Fairview cemetery, Madrid, Iowa may not be too helpful. As I reside in Missouri, further reading of the hidden portion of the headstone is currently difficult. The additional attachment for Noah may provide some link to the same family branch and allow further survey or at least provide some amusement for you. Regards to you and all other family.
