• Margaret should be age 48 — she was age 8 in the 1860 census and age 18 in the 1870 census.
• Charles was age 31 in 1880, so he should be age 51, not 56.
• Charles & Margaret were married in August of 1874, so they have been married 25 years, not 29.
• Bessie was born before Charles & Margaret married, and she wasn't with them in the 1880 census. Margaret does have a younger sister named, Bessie, who was orphaned by the death of their mother in 1893. It appears they have adopted her.

This monument consists of a huge, reddish-brown (polished granite?) stone with MILLER - SACKS inscribed on it. That stone is sitting on what appears to be a concrete base where, in small text, a series of names and dates is written in a row along the edge. I couldn't read some of the dates because not all of the grass and dirt was pulled away in the images, so I browsed the database for the others. The nature of this stone suggests it was placed long after our subjects were deceased, with all and more of the inherent problems of data from tombstones. Did the person creating the Find-A-Grave entry mis-read the stone?

Update: there's a more readable image of this stone linked to a Public Member Tree at Ancestry.com. I've updated the above accordingly.
