Please note the attached jpg from the Piscataquis Observer published Jan. 18, 1894. That would indicate that the death date on the headstone is in error. From the article I would say he was buried on the 15th of Jan.

Source: Richard Higgins: A Resident and Pioneer Settler at Plymouth and Eastham - By Mrs. Katharine Elizabeth Chapin Higgins AMOS DYER HIGGINS , born July 27, 1825, at Garland, Maine; died Feb. 11, 1894, at Charleston, Maine; married Flora Wilbur, who was living at Charleston, Maine, in 1916.
Amos D. Higgins was very industrious and hard working as a young man. He spent a number of years lumbering and in a large sawmill at Orono, Maine. He accumulated considerable money and bought a farm in Charleston known as the "Edward Page Place," where several of his brothers and sisters then lived. In 1880 he sold his farm to his sister Jane and bought a place in West Charleston. This he kept but two years, and then bought a place in Charleston Village, and lived there the remainder of his days in ease and comfort.
He was a man of strict integrity and noted for his shrewdness. He often visited New York to see his son, brothers, and uncles, with whom he was always a welcome guest. He had a remarkable, ready wit and was a good story teller, and fond of a joke. He was decidedly original and many of his jokes and tricks are still repeated. In politics he was a Republican. He was not a member of any church, but contributed to the support of the Free-Will Baptist Church of his town.
Children born at Charleston, Maine.
i. Alvin Dyer, b. March, 1850; married Mary Stewart, ii. Edward Page, b. Oct. 4, 1856; d. April 11, 1876.
