I have noticed other people online have a birth date listed as 25 Sep 1849 and a death date of 15 May 1897. They seem to get their info from Dauphin County, Pa Vital Records.

The info in this memorial came directly from the tombstone and also appears to be corroborated by will affidavits from Dauphin County, PA.

Until someone can prove to me that the tombstone and will affidavits are wrong and the others are right, without a DOUBT, I refuse to accept the dates listed online. I will not change the info in this memorial without some sort of definitive proof.
