Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image of the OQMG Form 623 is readable. It names Norman B. Wood, born 11/6/1889, died 9/10/50, with Forest View cemetery in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. This supports a burial at Two Rivers for the 1889–1950 man. The full middle name and county are not stated, and the citation's date range for the series does not match the 1950 form.
Matches: Name WOOD, Norman B. (middle initial B fits Bentley); Born 11/6/1889 and died 9/10/50, matching the 1889–1950 span; Cemetery: Forest View, Two Rivers, Wisconsin; Application is for a stone for the unmarked grave of a veteran, so burial there is implied; Applicant Mrs Mae C. Wood, Two Rivers, Wis., dated Sept 20, 1950; consignee and freight station also Two Rivers
Limits: Gives no burial date; the claim has none, so this is not a conflict; Middle name is given only as the initial B, so 'Bentley' is not confirmed; The card does not name the county (Manitowoc); Two Rivers is in Manitowoc County; Application date and stone order show burial happened before Sept 1950 application but do not give an exact date; Citation detail refers to 'Applications for Headstones 1925-1941', which does not match this 1950 application. This is likely a generic Ancestry citation, but the series label should be checked
