What the source supports

That Hattie Helvestine Crampton, wife of William O. Crampton, died, as reported on April 27, 1922.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The OCR prints a stray "!" in her name and garbles the name of her home. The item dates the death only as "last Sunday afternoon" and gives no age. Her family have no records here.
