Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image shows Norman B. Wood, age 60, head of household, married, with the occupation "Machine Service manager" in a furniture factory. The location is Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, ED 36-83, sheet 73, matching the citation. Every point in the residence claim (place, 1950 date, occupation, relationship, marital status) is stated on the page. Only the full middle name is not verifiable.
Matches: Line 24 reads "Wood, Norman B", head of household; Occupation is written as "Machine Service manager" in the furniture factory, 40 hours; Marital status is MAR (married), and his wife Mae C. is listed next; Age 60 in April 1950 implies a birth year of about 1889–1890, which fits 1889; The sheet header gives Wisconsin, Manitowoc County, Two Rivers, ED 36-83, and the sheet number is 73, matching the citation
Limits: Only the middle initial "B" appears, so "Bentley" is not confirmed by this record; A census age gives an approximate birth year, not a date; The record does not show the 1950 death date; The street address is hard to read and is not needed for the claim
