   This was a newer cemetery marker put up by their son, Atward Jake Aldridge
   in the 1970's.  From my research, the birth date for James is wrong.  They
   have the birthdate as 1865.  My research shows the birthdate to be Dec
   10, 1861.  Also the birth date for Elvira is wrong.  From the 1900 census
   and the date for the birth of the parents the birth date is Aug 1876, not
   1875.
