Those dates are their dates of birth. They didn't include their death dates, just their ages on there headstone. Most odd.  I only have Samuel as dying in 1977 and Gladys died 6.12.1994.

Pearl received her education at the Gatton State School which was situated where the swimming pool is now located and after finishing school she worked in the surgery of Harry Lovelock, Gatton's dentist. After her marriage to Samuel Reid Lester in 1927 she moved to his farm at Morton Vale where she resided for 55 years before moving to Gatton after the death of her husband.

Samuel and Pearl had three sons, the oldest Douglas Leonard passed away earlier this year, and Roland James and Geoffrey Colin still reside at Lake Clarendon and Morton Vale respectively. Pearl was blessed with 12 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Pearl was a foundation member of the Forest Hill branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association and when the Glenore Grove branch was formed she joined that organisation and was president for a period. After moving to Gatton, Pearl joined the Gatton branch and also was an active member of the Senior Citizens.
