Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier index.
The obituary text gives death on Sunday, Jan. 15 (1984, per the 16 Jan 1984 issue), matching the claimed date. 'Mae Wood' daughter of Albert and Otellia Beiging Chill fits a woman born Chill, and 'Mae' is a plausible form of Meta. The excerpt does not state the town of death or her birth year, so the match is consistent rather than fully stated.
Matches: Obituary dated 16 Jan 1984 reports death on Sunday, Jan. 15, matching the claimed death date (15 Jan 1984 was a Sunday); Daughter of Albert and Otellia Beiging Chill, so the maiden surname Chill matches; Obituary published in a Manitowoc newspaper, consistent with a Two Rivers, Manitowoc County death
Limits: No image; only a transcription of the obituary in the notes; Subject appears as 'Mae Wood', not Meta Ida Amalia Chill; identification rests on the Chill parentage and married name, with no explicit link to the full name; Place of death given as Hamilton Memorial Home, with no town stated in the excerpt; Two Rivers is not confirmed (Hamilton Memorial Home is, as far as I know, in Two Rivers); Birth year or age 1892 is not shown in the excerpt; Parent name spelling (Otellia) is only a lead
