Headstones of Samuel H. and Sarah Francis Ivie Alger
Colby, Thomas, Kansas
The headstone of Samuel shows the middle initial of "F" Family records show the letter "H". The fact that his mother's maiden name was Hancock lends credibility to it be an "H".
Family records also show Samuel's date of death as 09 July 1909
The date on the headstone may be date of burial (although the years differ)
