This gravestone is obviously very weathered, and very hard to read, but the given name Leanna can be made out by careful observation, and the age "About 71 Years" is visible with the help of an aggressive imagination. Using the birth year of 1806 from the US census, and an age at death of 71 years, her death year could be 1877, however, those dates are not certain. Further investigation finds her death date to be January 28, 1876 (from her probate records).

This gravestone is located beside the gravestone of Joseph Jarett.
