    JUNE 13, 189[6?]
    ELLEN M.
    WIFE OF
    S. P. SHEPARDSON
    BORN
    DEC. [2?]0, 1844
    [Note: the difficulty of reading this from the photograph is discussed on Ellen's husband's page. For Ellen, the birth date appears to say 20 Dec, not 30 Dec, but hard to have confidence in any reading. What appears to be a 3 in the husband's death date does not look like what is alleged to be a 3 in the wife's birthdate, but looks more like a 2. Note that no death date is inscribed, so it is not actually clear is she is buried here?]

    [Note: even though listed with Shepardson name here, Winfield is actually Winfield Rossman, a son by her first husband. See 1920 or 1930 censuses cited below.]
