      Although the handwritten entry states date of death as Dec 24 1892, date of burial is entered as Dec 24 1891. Since the sequence with other entries is in late 1891, and the headstone date also shows it as Dec 24 1891, the 1892 entry is considered to be a clerical error. Age of death given as 35, which would put birth in about 1856. This is at variance with birth record of Oct 11 1858, as is headstone birth date of Oct 11 1852.
