So too with many, if not most, writings used by researchers.  We and all
before us did commit errors.  Some questions can never be answered.  At Old
Mission Cemetery at Upper Sandusky, OH there is a headstone that gives as a
death date, February 31, 1838

That's not all.  Many time it is some years before the tombstones are put up
so that the people who put them up don't have the correct information to put
on the tombstones.  Nope, just because it is cast in stone doesn't make it
so.
