A search for one turned up exactly who I was looking for, but it probably helped that I knew of and already had those photos. A second search turned up someone different entirely. I had good luck when I did a paid membership on Ancestry[dot]com, and sometimes people will add photos besides headstones to Find a Grave. Wish I could be more help.
