includes a photo of the gravestone with the inscription:
Catharine E. wife of F. Shuey, died June 30 1851, Aged 31 y. 1 mo. & 25 Ds.

The index has a birth date of 3 Feb 1819, with no source. While the figures on the gravestone could be read differently, there is no obvious reading that calculates to that birth date. Possibly there is a record somewhere of a birth on that date, but it might have been for a child who died.

A section is posted on her husband's Find A Grave page. It says she died Jun 30, 1854. The year appears to be an error - or her gravestone was eroded and refurbished incorrectly.
