Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The OCR prints "Hose" for "Rose," and the headline gives the middle initial "K." The item dates the death only as "last Saturday" and gives no age. She is not linked to the released Frank McCormick record; the item names a brother Frank, but joining them would be a name match.
