The obituary says she was born May 1826, but an older brother (George W. Elwood) was born 11 Sep 1825. It seems unlikely that another baby would have born 8 months after George, which casts doubt on Elizabeth's supposed May 1826 date of birth. For that reason, the 19 March 1827 date from an Internet message is used for this memorial. What does the tombstone say?
