The tombstone inscription is the only occurrence of her given name spelled Harriett.
Her obituary stated she died March 8, 1912, at the age of 75 years, 9 months and 7 days. Using a standard date calculator, that renders a birth date of June 01, 1836. The obituary goes on to state that she was born May 31, 1836. The tombstone says 1837 and the 1900 census reported that she was born in May of 1837. Obituaries, tombstones, death certificates and census records - all of these records may be in error. ∼The Quill, page 1
