No birth or death dates were on the tombstone. No exact birth and death dates are known. These dates are estimates that are taken from census records.
In the book, "Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry County", on page 17 there is a list of "Old People's Circle". Davis Holder is listed on page 18 as being 90 years old and living in Butterfield. The book is dated 1888. I wonder how accurate those numbers in the book were. That would make Davis born around 1798 and dying after 1888. 4 census records show him as being born in 1805. The 1830 and 1840 censuses agree with the date of 1805 too. I had previously had his death date estimated to be "after 1880" because up until now the last record that I had found him on was the 1880 census. I am now changing his death date to "after 1888".
