"Hello
You have a memorial 19049315, Benjamin Maxwell with unknown date of birth. Here is the information
MAXWELL B. (Benjamin**) 18 Jul 1806 (Cumberland, PA) 25 Jun 1884 ; PVT 3rd Ia Cav.; wife is Jane B
Linda"
I have updated the birth date and location (PA) per this information. The update gives June 25, 1884 as the death date as does the monument inscription.
It should be noted that the veteran footstone/headstone uses July 24, 1884 for the DOD. Likely an inscription error if installed some years after the death.
