Note that the two alternative death dates, 9 APR 1903 and 9 Apr 1908, differ only in the last digit of the year. It seems likely someone mistook a "3" for an "8", or vice versa, when reading the gravestone (or a transcription of it). Also, note that the two alternative birth dates also differ only in the last digit of the year, and that they differ by the same amount, 5 years; this is probably due to both using the age stated on the gravestone to calculate the birth year, just based on differing years of death.
