The historical marker provides the background:
The community of Cedarvale is an old one and has also been known as Buie and Heidle through the years. The earliest burial was on Oct. 02, 1851, I.H. Woodhouse, and Daniel Buie born May 06, 1808 has the earliest date of birth.
Note the discrepancy on May 6/16 between the marker and the headstone, and it is unclear which is incorrect. Ten days makes no difference in this case, as his is still the earliest birthdate on a headstone in this cemetery. Mr. Buie's marble headstone has his name, "Daniel Buie", around the curve at the top, along with this inscription:
Born
May 16, 1808,
Died
Aug. 15, 1876.
Blessed are the pure in heart.
