Eisenhower-115 and Eisenhower-53 appear to represent the same person because: while the dates on Eisenhower-115 represent a totally different person, based on the wife, it would appear this profile was intended to represent the son of US Pres. Eisenhower.

While this profile looks like it was intended to represent the son of Pres. Eisenhower, the dates are all wrong. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eisenhower While Find a Grave is listed as a source, there is no memorial with these dates. Can you take a look at your records? I think you have John E Eisenhower, no relation to the president, confused with the son of the president.
