But the death date on her headstone is Mar 18 1884, with the inscription stating that she died about five hours before her 23rd birthday. Findagrave reports her name as Ellen Clara Shuman, while the name on her headstone appears to be simply Ellen C. Shuman. Note (2) Identified in father's 1916 obituary as Robert Lee Shuman, who had died about 32 years before him, thus putting his death in about 1884. But his headstone shows his birth date as Jul 10 1864, his death date as Feb 8 1897, and his age at death as 32y 6m 28d. Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Jan 1874.
