Notes for Eliza T. Bolt
Her gravestone is inscribed “Eliza T. wife of Edmund Marshall Born Apr 2, 1822, Died Oct 31, 1901”.
The birthdate of 1822 is inconsistent with census records.
Some online family trees have misread the year of death as 1904, but that is just because the stone is rather worn, and the old-fashioned 1’s have a very long top serif that extends down to the midpoint of the digit. But the last digit looks identical to the three other 1’s in the inscription; it is just easier to misinterpret because there is no such date as Oct 34 or 4822.
