I used a Birthday calculator to get the birthdate.

04 April 1870 - 11 August 1873

The year of death is questionable. The 3 in 1873 seems to match the 3 in 3y.

This cemetery is not in McCune, which is in Crawford Co. KS. It has a Crawford Co. KS zipcode instead of a Cherokee Co. KS.

It is in Sheridan Township, Cherokee County KS.

Note: Samuel VanSlyke This name may be also written as Van Slyke. All the information I have is the tombstone and the tombstone has VANSLYKE.

So does the other tombstone in this cemetery:

CATHERINE

WIFE OF
PETER VANSLYKE

I'm well aware tombstones, obituaries and all records may be incorrect. Cemetery names may also be spelled differently, and even have or have had entirely different names.

This cemetery is also known as the Rigney, VanSlyke, or Van Slyke Cemetery.

Some names just invite differences: VANNATTA VAN NATTA, VANATTA VAN ATTA. When I'm looking for my Vanatta/Vannatta families, if it starts with a V has n, or nn, tt, there's a good possibility it may be one of mine. ;-)
