The Monroe County, Indiana Death Records Index lists Eliza A. White as follows:
Name: White, Eliza A
Age: 79
DOD: December 1, 1915
Burial Place: Knights
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: The DOB on Eliza’s tombstone of 1883 is believed to be incorrect based upon Eliza’s two obituaries, the Monroe County Death Index, and the 1869 DOB of her son Robert Franklin White. Both the December 3, 1915 obituary and the Monroe County, Indiana Death Index show Eliza’s age to be 79 which calculates to a DOB of 1836.
