Maggie is my great grandmother on my mother's side. She was a matron in jails in Pittsburgh, PA. I bet she had some interesting stories! She also lost her husband to typhoid early in the marriage and 2 babies, one at birth and one at 8 months. Maggie did not remarry. My grandmother was the only one to survive.
The generic headstones are due to graves being moved because of the turnover of the Panama Canal to Panama by the United States on 31 December 1999. Americans buried in some parts of Corozal Cemetery and in Mount Hope Cemetery, just outside of Colon in Panama, were either sent to their families for re-burial in the US or moved to the section of Corozal Cemetery (now known as Corozal American Cemetery) that was kept by the United States. Many of the old headstones were too deteriorated to move so the US government provided these generic headstones.
Although the headstone shows a 1860 birth year, she was actually born in 1859 per documentation.
