Something doesn't quite add up here does it?

If Emily died in 1968..........age 59

That would make her age 9 when she married Arthur!!

I wonder if a mistake was made on reading the gravestone and her age was 69 not 59? Very easy mistake to make on a gravestone.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
