No date on headstone.

Conflict on year of birth 1844-1845 and the place of birth.  Mary is in
McLean,McLean,Ill in the 1880 U.S. Census. The obit Barbara sent said she was
born in McClain,Ill and there is no McClain in my world book in 1962.  The obit
from the Davenport's appears to be the right Mary West but this is the only
reference any of the family members have seen on the middle name of Dewolf.

We need to send for a death cert on Mary to see what it sayes.

Conflict on place of birth New York or Illinois.  All the census records I have
say Mary was born in Illinois.
