It is uncertain whether the date of death and year-month-day age given in the gravestone transcription (see below) are accurate, considering the eroded inscription. The calculated date of birth using 12 years, 11 months and 21 days would be April 31, 1850, a non-existent date. (Perhaps the date of birth was May 1, 1850, and both the birth and death dates were included in the age's 21 days.)
Ezra Eby (A Biographical History of Waterloo Township and Other Townships of the County, 1895) gives alternative dates: born April 28, 1850 and died April 24, 1863. Because of the questions arising from the gravestone dates, I have used Ezra Eby's dates above.
