[Note: the gravestone looks like textured concrete and is hard to read from the photograph. There are two issues:
1) it is hard to tell if the birthdate is 11 Mar, which is recorded in Warwick, or 14 Mar, which appears correct based on the spacing of the digits. The memorial page says 19 Mar, but there does not appear to be any curl at the bottom of the stem of the second digit as is seen in other 9's on the gravestone. However, it cannot be read clearly enough to be sure.
2) The death date clearly appears to be 13 Jun 1898, but the memorial page says 12 Jun 1896. No death record was found to confirm either date, and like the earlier item, the year cannot be read clear enough to confidently contradict the memorial page.]
