The inscription on the stone as recorded by Bob and May Couch when they surveyed the cemetery shows Sarah's age as 21y 5m 16d. However the 1860 census shows Sarah as the daughter of Asa and Eliza Kirby who was born in 1852. I believe this is a simple error in reading or recording of the years or it could be an error when the stone was cut, which frequently happens, and it should be 31y 5m 16d. The fact that she is between Asa Kirby and George Edward Brunk strongly suggests that she is the daughter of Asa and the wife of George Edward Brunk.
