1860-1936 were dates for Mollie per cemetery record book, which were done from walk-thru surveys. From photo on another website the marker does indeed show these dates. HOWEVER SEE COMMENTS BELOW.

Mary Brady Hall always appears on census records, as if she was b. 1868 (never 1860). 1900 census states her birth as "Sep 1868". Her death cert. clearly says "Apr 24, 1868". (Whoever prepared the death cert could have read a "09" as a "04", and entered "Apr" when "Sep" was intended.) Even I (Dale Bryan) transcribed "1860" on her grave. But, a worn-down "8" might look like a "0". I also transcribed "Sep 24" on her grave. Based on all this, I would favor "Sep 24, 1868" on her memorial.

I was doing some work on my Walker/Hall family connections, and saw your note about the birth date problems for Mollie Hall. The headstone does show a birth year of 1860; which is probably an error on the part of whoever carved the stone. As you note, all census records point to an 1868 date. However, the 1900 census puts her birth month as September.
I'm guessing the person who gave the death certificate information erred in providing the month of birth. Although other family trees use the April date from the death certificate. I'm not really suggesting you change the date, since either one could be correct. Just putting in my two cents.
