Image ID: Find a Grave 41177176 marker photo (local fg-41177176-marker.jpg)
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The transcribed stone gives death on Sept. 10, 1950, matching the claim date, and the cemetery is in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The stone does not state the place of death, so that part is only inferred from the burial. No image was supplied to verify the transcription.
Matches: Stone inscription transcribed as Sept. 10, 1950 matches the claimed death date; Birth date Nov. 6, 1889 matches the 1889 birth year in the claim; Burial in Forest View Cemetery, Two Rivers, fits the claimed place of death; Name Norman Bentley Wood matches
Limits: Find a Grave is a compiled source and the image is not attached, so the transcription can't be checked; A gravestone date usually reflects the date of death, but the stone does not state it as such; Burial location does not prove the place of death; Two Rivers is inferred from the cemetery; The Find a Grave memorial does not mention a death record or death place
