The index lists Norman B. Wood with a death date of 10 Sep 1950, which matches the claimed date. The record gives no place and no identifying details beyond the initial. The Appleton Public Library index covers the Appleton area, so the entry fits a Wisconsin death, but the claimed place is not stated. The date is supported, but the place and identity rest on the wider research.
Matches: Name Norman B. Wood fits Norman Bentley Wood; Death date 10 Sep 1950 matches the claimed date; Obituary date 11 Sep 1950 is the day after death, which is plausible
Limits: Index entry only, no image was read; The index does not state the place of death, so Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin is not confirmed; Only the middle initial B is given, so the full middle name Bentley and the birth year 1889 are not confirmed; No age, spouse or parent is given to confirm that this is the same Norman Wood
