The stone has the birthday as April 25th but the death certificate has April 23rd.

In 1880 John was living with his maternal grandparents:

Household Members Age Relationship
Jacob Bowermaster 65 Self (Head)
Mary Bowermaster 50 Wife
James Bowermaster 26 Son
John Bowermaster 20 Son
Amanda Bowermaster 18 Daughter
John Alfd. Bowermaster 6 Grandson

It seems as if he was born out of wedlock and carried the maiden name of his mother.
