The grave marker appears to have a birth date of 04 May 1847 for Lucretia. However, all family records (and 1900)) census suggest 1856. Since her last child was born in 1900, I believe the 1856 is correct. I wonder if the 1847 was a stone-cutter's typo that was never corrected?

OBIT:
Mrs. Lucretia Rominger, 93, died at 3:45 Friday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Addison Johnson in Hope, after a serious illness of about six weeks.

She was the last charter member of Hope Baptist Church.
