Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The OCR prints her husband's name "Strlle" and her mother's surname "Grjenwalt." The report of the week's deaths dates hers "Friday morning," the obituary "Thursday night." Of the children it names, only Mrs. Thomas Howell has a record here, linked by proposal.
