Amanda's marker clearly shows her date of death as 1873. However, the marker itself is also clearly a replacement. The date of death shown here is from the Town of Wilson (USA, NY, Niagara, Wilson) Vital Statistics, Vol 1, Deaths, page 47. These records begin in Jun 1884, although there are occasionally entries from prior years, especially in the births section. If Amanda died in 1873, she would not appear in the records. However, she is shown there, with other 1885 deaths. It is less likely that the Town Clerk, or someone reporting Amanda's death, made up a date of death, than her original marker was worn and not fully legible at the time a replacement marker was made for her.
If you have evidence showing that Amanda actually died in 1873, please contact the manager of this memorial. Thank you!
