note:

according to County death record, died 5 Aug 1902, age 61 (CumberlandCoPA Deaths C-1705). But tombstone says 1844-1905. (Carson CarlisleCem calogy02). Birthdate of Feb 1844 (1900 PA Cumberland ED2 36) and age 61 yields 1905. The fact that the tombstone is a single stone shared with wife Amanda (who died 1929) suggests the carving was done long after his death, and the 1902 date is accurate and age 61 at death is an estimate (WTM) [Ref: 1900 PA Cumberland ED2 36, Carson CarlisleCem calogy02, CumberlandCoPA Deaths C-1705, WTM]
