The on-line index for Prairie Creek cemetery has a lot of apparent errors for the Gapen family, according to Mel Gapen who visited the cemetery in 2000.

The death date and age are from Mel's reading of the tombstone. The birth date doesn't quite match the age at death, but this birthdate is form other Gapen family records. Gapen family records also had that Stephen died Sept. 17, 1856 and Harriet on Sept. 10, 1856 (which is the reverse of what their tombstones say), Either the family got the dates crossed or the monument maker did.
