U.S., Headstone Applications for Military Veterans, 1861-1985

The headstone application shows Norman B. Wood, born 11/6/1889, died 9/10/50 (month/day/year format per the form header), buried at Forest View cemetery, Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The death date matches the claim. The place of death is not stated directly, but the burial location, consignee and applicant's address in Two Rivers make it a reasonable inference.
Matches: Name WOOD, Norman B. matches Norman Bentley Wood (middle initial B); Date of death typed as 9/10/50, matching 10 September 1950 (month/day/year format); Date of birth 11/6/1889 matches the 1889 birth year in the claim; Cemetery Forest View, Two Rivers, Wisconsin; consignee and applicant's address are also in Two Rivers, Wis.; Applicant Mrs. Mae C. Wood, 2605 School St., Two Rivers, signed Sept. 20, 1950, ten days after the stated death, which fits a widow applying; Application stamped Sept 22, 1950, so the death date precedes the application
Limits: The form gives the cemetery location as Two Rivers, Wisconsin, not the place of death. Death in Two Rivers is inferred, not stated.; County (Manitowoc) is not on the form; it is inferred from Two Rivers.; Middle name Bentley is not spelled out; only the initial B appears.; Citation detail says 1925-1941 but this form is dated 1950, a probable citation mismatch that does not affect the record itself.; The date format is month/day/year, assumed from the form's header, so 9/10/50 reads as 10 September 1950 under that convention.
