Suzanna Elizabeth Brenner

F, #2610, b. 1847, d. 1862

I'm curious as to who this person is. I cannot read the inscription and the Brenner family does not know of a child named Suzanna Elizabeth Brenner (1847-1862) as per the "bible" The Brenner Family 1843-1990 by Carol Brenner. John C and Elizabeth (Irmiger) Brenner did have a daughter with this name born and died in 1861 and buried in the John C and Elizabeth Brenner Memorial Cemetery (according to Carol Brenner's book). It seems to be generally believed that Peter Brenner (1819-1894) had only two children: Elizabeth Catherine (1845-1907) and John Peter (1850-1929).
