Isabell Lowery died on 12 March 1863 at age 70. The date on the headstone looks like 1863 to me, rather than 1862. Most data I've found indicates she died in 1862. Either:
1. She did die in 1863
2. The headstone was created some time after her burial and has an incorrect date
3. I can't read - but the lower portion of the last digit in the year of death looks quite different than the 2 in Mar 12 that preceeds it.

Reuben Whittaker is one of the extensive and prosperous agriculturists of Belmont Precinct. He was born in Caroline County, Virginia, on the 29th day of December, 1831. His father, Reuben Whittaker, was also a Virginian, although of English descent, as was also his wife, whose maiden name was Priscilla Saunders. The occupation of the father was a farmer, and our subject was reared upon the home farm.
Such education as our subject could obtain as a boy was received in one of the primitive schoolhouses, where the chief building materials employed were the logs from the neighboring clearing and mud cement from the stream. The internal arrangements were equally rough, but then they served their purpose, and there went from these houses men who have made their mark in every part of the world's great field of battle.
Mr. Whittaker went to Licking County, Ohio, in the year 1846 and settled at Etna, which is situated upon the National Park. Subsequently he went to Franklin County, in the same state, and worked upon a farm for three years. Then he went South to Louisiana and other Southern States, and also for a time worked on a flatboat on the river. He went to Illinois in 1852, and for two years lived in Winnebago County, near the town of Rockford. From there he went to his uncle in Northeastern Iowa, and in 1856 came to this county and settled on the southeast quarter of section 36, in Delaware Precinct.
In the fall of 1857 our subject took the place he now farms, built a residence and settled there. It was wild land at that time, and he was compelled to hunt for the line and the corners of his property by the help of a pocket compass, and then stepping the distance. Indians were not at all unusual visitors, but beyond causing his wife an occasional fright in his absence, gave very little trouble.
From that time until the present he has patiently gone on with the good work of improving his property, and building up and solidifying his interests. He now owns 400 acres, and uses the same for general farming and stock-raising, giving the chief importance to the latter. His stock are chiefly highgrade Short-horn cattle and Poland-China hogs.
On the 29th of December, 1857, Mr. Whittaker was married to Jane, daughter of Thomas and Jane (Dunbar) Wilson. They came here from Canada to 1856, and she was the eldest of eleven children born to her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker became the parents of eleven children, six living -- Thomas R., Priscilla, Nancy E., Merinda, Silas A. and Ada M. One daughter, Rebecca, was married to John St. Clair, and died leaving two children, one of whom, Walter, is still living; the other members of the family were John, Ida, William H. and Elizabeth. The eldest son, Thomas, married Fannie Cooper, and now lives at Delta, in this county, and has two children, Roy and Eugene; Priscilla is the wife of Samuel Lowery, of McWilliams Precinct, and the mother of three children -- May, Myrtle and Ida; Nancy is now Mrs. John Buckridge, of Rock Creek Precinct; Merinda married Mr. Edward J. Cooper, and has one child, to whom is given the name Kate.
Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker are members of the Baptist Church, and attend at Delta. They have been connected with the Baptist communion for twenty years. Our subject has never taken any prominent part in political affairs, although he is a true and loyal citizen, and always votes the Republican ticket.
