Aged 25 years 4 months & 7 days
(that calculates to 1 Jan 1814 but her birth is clearly 2 Jan 1814 in her baptism record in Zion Reformed Church in Hagerstown, MD)

She married John Vandegrift McCune in Franklin County, PA and gave birth to children who after their mother died young moved with their father to Iowa.
Harriet E. McCune (1833-1901)
Sarah Carrie McCune (1836-1910)
William Henry McCune (1839-1920)

She was the daughter of William & Elizabeth (Herr) Beecher (original surname Bücher which is pronounced like Beekshur) and became Beecher in America. Her father William Beecher died 1 May 1835 and was buried in this cemetery. Her mother died 26 Dec 1874 in Pottstown, PA where she is buried.

2023: cleaned headstone and there is no doubt that it is Susan McCune; the rest of the data is spotty; but you can read she was the daughter of Wm Bucher and???; died in May and was 25 years and ? months and 7 days. she is buried next to her father William in grave 4H-11.

Not sure where the data for Sarah Carrie McCune (1813-1910) came from but the next headstone over is Sarah A. Beecher, daughter of William Beecher at spot (4H-9) ; when this stone read in 1971 Pflueger wrote:
Sara A Beeher, daughter of William Beecher, born 18 Oct 1821 and died 2 Jan 1839 age 17/3/14.
