Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is readable and line 24 of sheet 73 lists Norman B. Wood, head, age 60, born New Jersey, in Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. This agrees with the surname, first name and middle initial and with a birth of about 1889. The full middle name "Bentley" is not shown, so the claim is consistent rather than fully stated.
Matches: Line 24 shows "Wood, Norman B" as head of household, white male, age 60, married; Born in New Jersey; wife Mae C. (58, born Illinois) and daughter Virginia (27) in household; Census place Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, ED 36-83, sheet 73 matches the citation detail; Age 60 in April 1950 implies birth around 1889–1890, which fits the claimed 1889
Limits: Census gives only the middle initial "B", not the full middle name Bentley; Census cannot confirm the death in 1950 or the exact birth date; Nothing in this record links this Norman B. Wood to the database person beyond name and age; birthplace New Jersey and family members would need to be checked against the tree
