I have been told that her stone is between her father and her mother who (per findagrave volunteer) both have unmarked graves. As it turns out, only her father had an unmarked gravestone, and as of Oct 2010, there is now a new looking gravestone for her father. Her mother had a gravestone which a previous volunteer was unable to locate.
Per the 1880 mortality census, Lurema Cooper died from a fall in June 1879 and was 2 years old. On a transcription of Pleasant Grove Cemetery they list a birth date of 1878 and death date of 1881, but I suspect that the stone was put up many years after her death and they guessed at the date of death. As she was 2 years old in Jun 1879 when she died, she would have been born in about 1877. July 1877 would make her just 1 month short of 2 years old, so that indicates that both the date of birth and death on the gravestone are incorrect.
