• Eleanor (Rath) Beckett's birth year varies, with multiple records showing 1815. Her age showed 59 on her 1874 death record, and age 60 with a death year of 1872 on her headstone.

• Her official death record shows a date of 3 March 1874.^[2]

• Her headstone may have been installed sometime later, engraved as 1872.^[3] Find-a-Grave ID # 214245109. A direct link to Find-a-Grave does not match due to the mismatch of information.
