Contrary to what the marker says, other records do not agree with the birth / death date on her marker. Her Death Certificate says she was born June 7, 1849 and passed March 2, 1925 (both in Newton County, GA).
Records do vary on when she was born (June, July or November... 1848 to 1856), but her death appears to be a matter of misreading or a transcription error (perhaps the marker was after the fact).
I have left the dates as listed on the marker, to avoid repeat edit suggestions.
Her name varies by source, but most records agree her first name was Ellen or a variant thereof (Ella, Ellie), and her middle name is 'R' or 'Rebecca.' (1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 Census, Marriage Records, SS Records & Death Certificate).
The 1860 Census lists her as 'Louisa E Cochran;' the 1870 Census seems to list her as 'Susan R E Cochran; and both are out of Newton County.
