Note: the exact DOB year varies with sources - the headstone inscription is for 1839, while her Fairfield Daily Journal obituary listed the DOB as April 9, 1840. Will use April 9, 1839 for this memorial as a compromise of sorts, but with the caution for any family researchers that rounding errors in census and other materials may cause the DOB year to vary by a year or so.

The middle name may have been "Ann", per information provided on the memorials of her parents, but the initial "D" is used on her inscription. Any clarification would be appreciated.
