Elizabeth's death certificate contains conflicting information. The date of birth is listed as February 22, 1878 and the age "in years last birthday" was 79. Both cannot be correct. If the birth year is correct, she was 80 years old on her last birthday. If the age is correct, the birth year on her grave marker is correct. Perhaps the death certificate informant, her son Russell, was thinking she'd be 80 on her next birthday (just 9 days after her death).
