In Dietz, page 109, it says her last name is Scheyer. Which is correct?

Her gravestone (Horovitz, no. 4718) says "Speyer." So it's probably a typo in Dietz. (Although the actual stone doesn't seem to be extant - it's not in Epidat (http://www.steinheim-institut.de:50580/cgi-bin/epidat) - so I suppose it's possible that it's the other way around, that Horovitz transcribed it incorrectly. That said, the inscription has her as the daughter of Mendel, and there was a Speyer by that name.)
