Note that the excerpt for Mary C. Crubaugh below lists her birth date as Oct 1857. The birth date used for this memorial (24 Mar 1860) is based on the death certificate and the 1870 and 1880 census listings. The 1860 census lists her as being "3 years" old, but it should have been written "3 months" old.
