Transcriber's Notes
'May' is written and struck through in both the date of death and date of burial, with 'June' written above.
Informant's given name is a scrawl; re-checked at zoom 2026-09-27: 'Benjamin' (B-e-n-j-a-m-i-n); 'Benj' in the deed line.
Funeral home name in the death notice read as 'John F. Fluehr & Sons' (re-checked at zoom 2026-09-27: letters F-l-u-e-h-r; same firm clearly written in the 1940 Charles Knoll record).
Husband's surname in the death notice is written oddly ('Knyll' or 'Knoll'); transcribed as Knoll.
Date of death: 'May 4, 1939' with 'June' written above; the death notice says 'June 4 1939'.
