Because this child is buried on the same plot of Elizabeth Charity Coe Bullock, it is assumed that this is Elizabeth's daughter Maude.

A reliable genealogy, "The Coes of Maryland and Virgina" has a birth date for Maude as May 2, 1896 and that date would not match the above noted age at death on the memorial. As the birth date on the genealogy is not sourced, it is not known whether that date is correct. However, the same genealogy information on the older daughter, Lola Pearl is confirmed by later census information. Lola would have been about 3 years, 4 months old in 1897. It is not known if the 3y,22d and death date on this memorial are directly from a tombstone or where that information was found. Errors certainly happen in transcribing deteriorating tombstones or even in cemetery records. A death date of 1899 would be more in line with the available birth date.

The Coe genealogy also has Maude's middle name as Irene which does not match the record M.E.

It is known that the 1900 Census finds Elizabeth's husband, Jacob H. Bullock as a widower and with only the older daughter, Lola P.

So until furthur information is discovered, it is assumed that the child buried on the same site as Elizabeth is her daughter, Maude.

Note: Many thanks to this memorial creator for all the help in confirming the burial place of Elizabeth Coe Bullock and providing information on this memorial and her husband's memorial.
