Misc. Notes
Based on the details given in the biographical section of Find-a-grave Memorial# 92544745, and subtracting the reported age at death (87 years 7 months and 26 days) from the reported date of death (22-Dec-1930), you get a birth date of 26-Apr-1843. [1498] Both dates, however, contradict the inscription on the gravestone (photo included on memorial page). The inscription says “Apr. 26, 1842, Jan. 22, 1930”, the same dates reported at the top of the memorial page. Based on those dates, her age at death would have been 87 years, 8 months, 27 days. The biography (probably a transcript of an obituary), claims her date of birth was 28-Apr-1842. In that case, using the reported age at death, would result in a death date of 24-Dec-1929. On the other hand, if the birth date was 28-Apr-1842 and the death date was 22-Dec-1930, her age at death would have been 88 years, 7 months, 24 days. http://www.timeanddate.com was used for these calculations. The second memorial, # 37450320, reports the birth date as 30-Apr-1842 and the death date as 30-Jan-1930. This memorial includes a photo of Alimeda but not of her gravestone.
