Research suggests she was born February 13, 1823 in Detroit. One 1860 census record has an Emily Campan living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. However, another 1860 census record has an Emily Campan living with Dennis Campan in Detroit, Michigan. He is 41, she is 37. In the 1850 census, she is listed with her parents and siblings, including Dennis. He is 28, she is 23, so, even though the 1850 ages don't expand by 10 years in the 1860 census, it's likely the Emily Campan in the Detroit 1860 is the correct one and where she died. Mt. Elliott Cemetery burial records prior to March 1, 1865 were destroyed in a fire, so it is not possible to confirm her death date through the cemetery records. The stone also doesn't list a death date.
