Unreadable gravetone

Question

Can anyone read what it says about  Sally Perry. I have low vision and can only make out her name and possibly daughter.

No other info seems to exist about her.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/48963923/stephen-perry

Thank you.

Answer 1

I read

Their daughter

Died June 7 1883

age 86 years

Thanks. Armed with that information, found a lot to confirm it. She was there first born, with the second identified child many years later.. this accound for some curious census info. Thank you.

Glad I could be of some assistance!. Thanks for the star!

Answer 2

It's difficult, but looks to me like it says

Sally Perry, their daughter, died June 9 [or 7?], 1883, ae 36 years.

That's my best interpretation. The age looked like 86 at first glance, but that is impossible given the dates for her parents, so after further inspection it must be 36.

Hope that helps!

Comments

Yes, that was my thought when I saw the age, but 86 turns out to be correct.

Ah now I see. Should have done the math with a calculator instead of in my head!
