Inscription transcription

From Gospel Visitor, Jan. 1858, page 32; Obituary section:

Departed this life in Canton church district, Stark County Ohio, Dec. 11, 1857 SARAH DEHOFF, eldest daughter of Anthony K. and Barbara Dehoff, aged 13 years, 8 months, and 11 days.

Our archive's index entry gives her years as 1844-1857; the obituary states only the death date and age (13 years, 8 months, 11 days — consistent with a birth in about April 1844), so no birth date has been recorded. Her mother Barbara Dehoff (died 1893) is a separate record in this archive.
