Susan was the age of 31 Years and 11 Days when she passed.
The following information was provided by a Find-a-grave volunteer on July 9, 2013, and I sincerely appreciated his assistance:
"Listed in Schooler Cemetery, Susan Arville died June 29, 1859, aged 31 years 11 days, daughter of T & A G Higley:
Her mother, Anna Gaylord Higley, born in Windsor Connecticut, died Sept. 10, 1861, aged 71 years 5 months 19 days, wife of Theodore Higley."
The information was also found in the published book, "Gone Home" by Eileen Derr, where the date of death is listed as 1859. The gravestone photo is very blurry, so it could be 1851, which is the date listed in the published work, "The Highley's and Their Ancestors". Other family information matches, so I have no doubt this is the same person. Inscription in that book reads: "Susan, born 1827, died, unmarried, 1851;"
NOTE: I've been told trees have been pushed down over the graves. Whether intentional or not, it was reported and is supposed to be taken care of. There is no way to know what damage was done as of this date, April 26, 2014. The drawing in the gravestone photo area is a representation by Leroy Higley from data taken October 18, 1974, from Grover Higley books. It also seems to duplicate information found in the above mentioned book, "Gone Home" by Eileen Derr. Hopefully the stones will be found intact and someone will be able to photograph them again some day.
UPDATE: Photo has been added and the date on the stone is definitely 1859. I'm hoping this means the cemetery has now been restored.
