Sarah Fannie Mouser's tombstone says she died at age 26 in 1903, but several of her childen were born after that. Is the age or date wrong on tombstone???? Her last2 children for which I have a copy of the DC was born in 1903 & 1906. The youngest, Lum was born in 1909--I don't have a copy of his BC yet to verify the name of his mother.
