new tombstone

Hello. Is there a organization in Michigan that would place a tombstone on a Union civil War soldiers grave? His name was Miron B. Evans , Sgt. Co. B, 16th Mich.Inf. His grave is located in Findlay Cemetery, Kent Co., Michigan. Years ago when I first visited his grave there was a piece of tombstone laying flat on the ground. Last summer when I visited the grave there was nothing except a footmarker with the initials M.B.E. It seems a shame that there's no stone to remember him considering the hardships he went through from Gaines Mills, Malvern Hill( wounded), Second Bull Run, Fredricksburg, and finally the struggle of the 16th on Little Round Top at Gettysburg. Returning home from the war a invallid and dying at an early age. I'm proud to say he was my greatgrandfather. Gene.
