Transcriber's Notes
Year of birth is faint and partly cut: read as 1857 [?] (last digit unclear).
Mother's maiden name: 'Caroline' appears to have been written first and struck through (over the printed 'name of mother'); the name reads 'Barbara Wassell [?]' (the given name is written like 'Bulbara'; surname could be Wessell).
Funeral home name in the notice read as 'John F. Fluehr & Sons' (the death certificate has 'Jno F. Fluehr & Sons').
Last line of the notice read as 'Int. Greenmount Cem. Viewing Sun. Eve.'; 'Sun.' re-checked at native resolution 2026-09-27: looped capital S followed by 'un'.
