Her headstone differs from the Death record at the Erie County Courthouse: the headstone says she died September 1, 1887 at the age of 63y 4m 2d.

Her father could have been George Hobbs (Berlin Twp 1840 census). Some researchers assign her to George W. Hobbs (probably the same man) and Lula Elson, who died 1 Sep 1887 in Erie County. I have the 1850 census records for Goerge.
