Plain reading
Anna E. Wesemann, widow, born 6 March 1873 in Philadelphia to Henry Hippel and Caroline Reichert, died 12 April 1955 of cerebral thrombosis and arteriosclerosis at her son William's home, 4535 Bleigh Street; buried at Hillside 15 April.
Notes
Her mother "Caroline Reichert" is new to this file; the family archive already holds a Reichert certificate (August Reichert, Philadelphia 1916), so a Hippel–Reichert connection is a lead (POSSIBLE that August Reichert is Caroline's relative).
Conflicts noted: none.
