Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The item dates the death only as "last Friday evening" and gives no age. Her father's surname prints "Berlin" here and "Herlin" in other obituaries; no kinship with other records is recorded. Her husband and children have no records here.
