-Louisa's death record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99KJ-BZ4B) gives her date of death as May 10, not May 12.
-Every record I have found for Louisa records her middle initial as 'A,' not 'E'.
-Louisa's half sister Louella, born 10 years earlier (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FZSJ-LVB), was given the middle name Addazetta. It's not inconceivable that Louisa would have been given the same middle name in honor of a deceased sibling, but highly unlikely that it would been the same except for a different first letter.
-In the 1900 census (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSMH-YDX) she self-attested that she was born in November 1842, not 1843.
-Considering all of these together, I have to conclude that the headstone contains several mistakes and is an unreliable source of information.
-Since she was born in either 1842 or 1843, her mother could not have been Louisa (Stebbins) Dinsmore, who died in 1841. Therefore she must have been the daughter of Rufus Dinsmore's second wife, Arsinae (Foot) Dinsmore.
