Well you're in luck. I've done some work in that area and I have some books that may help.

Gideon Slifer, if you look on Find a Grave under memorial 74102132, you will find a photo of the stone. I took that photo and put the information into the database. I took the data from a book called Frederick County, Maryland Church and Cemetery Records Volume 3, by Patricia A Fogle. She gives date of death 2 Jan 1882, aged 79 years, 2 months, 29 days. She did her own walk through of the cemetery. I can send you a larger photo of the stone if you'd like. The church records from Volume 3 says he died 6 Jan 1880, 81/1/11 of old age.

Elizabeth Slifer has a memorial on Find a Grave as well, 25307458. I don't know anything else about her, but are you sure that you have the correct Elizabeth?

I don't know anything about the Slifer cemetery, I will ask and see if anyone else knows about it.

The last one, Anna Slifer, I think I can help you with. I found in Frederick County, Maryland Church and Cemetery Records Volume 2, by Patricia A Fogle an Anna Slifer who died June 30, 1903, aged 82/6/18. This is the church record. Under the cemetery walk through she says that the stone is covered by a foot stone and is eroded.
