The only way this grave marker makes sense is if someone mixed the numbers up on it.
A newspaper listing records George as being buried in August 1931, being 48 at the time of death which would make him born in 1883.
If you look at the numbers on the Bender FH marker the 2nd 8 in 1883 is a upside down 3, which makes the combination of usable numbers 11133889. These numbers are able to produce 1838-1931 which is what was recorded in the Fairview records in 1931.
1931 burials were listed in the Jan 4, 1932 North Manchester News Journal, using Fairview records.
Adding to the confusion was the fact that he was 37 almost 38, not 48, at time of death. His obit in the Logansport Press states his correct age of 37.
