DATES:

Find-a-Grave Memorial # 41061802 shows two tombstones. The original stone broke, and when it was reset in concrete, the line showing the age was partly below the surface. However, it can be read. "42 Ys" and "26 Ds" are clear. The number of months is probably 9. Both stones have the same death date, March 16, 1865. The new stone has a birth date of May 26, 1822. The death date and an age of 42 years, 9 months, and 26 days yields a birth date of May 21, 1822.
