June 2, 1869
Nov. 13, 1951
John J. Pelt (census records show him as John T. Pelt)
Aug. 22, 1853
June 6, 1923
By placing Minnie Emma born in 1869, her mother would have been 57 years old at the time of her birth. It seems more logical that she was born in 1859 and that her mother would have been about 47 years old thus making the tombstone off by ten years.
