Tombstones are notorious for incorrect dates. They are sometimes added to the grave site many years after the person's demise, often by grandchildren who may not have accurate information; and sometimes the person engraving the stone makes a mistake. Fortunately, you have an obituary from a contemporary newspaper. It is undoubtedly the correct date.
