That Mary P. Whiting of Millwood died on September 8, 1922.
Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The September item garbles her name in the headline and body. Reading the April list as the same woman rests on the matching name. She is not linked to the released record of Frank B. Whiting, since joining them would rest on the name and title. She is not Maria P. Whiting, whose death was reported in September 1921.
