Coordinator's note: The obituary states that the deceased's date of birth was May 27, 1829 whereas the gravestone says May 26, 1828. If you use the obituary's years-months-days, you get yet a different date of July 25, 1829. We currently have insufficient information to resolve these discrepancies.
