Publication: Marion County Illinois Cemetery Inscriptions with Genealogical Notes, Book #1

Notation: Page 401, item 80, contains the [Eagan Cemetery] burial information for Rosannah H. Lynch, the wife of James L. Lynch. This entry indicates that she died on 12 July 1852. The problem with this date is that it conflicts with her death date that is on her headstone. The headstone states that she died on 12 July 1884. A death date of 1884 combined with her age at death means that she and her husband were born 3 days apart rather than 32 years apart.
