Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier compiled.
The transcribed stone names George S. Wood with 1858–1940 in Warren Cemetery, Gurnee, which fits a burial in Gurnee, Lake County, Illinois. No burial date is claimed, so none is needed. The 1859 header year is noted as an error and the stone itself agrees with 1858. Evidence is a Find a Grave transcription without an image, so it cannot be rated higher.
Matches: Stone inscription reads "GEORGE S. 1858 - 1940", matching the name and the 1858–1940 life dates; Warren Cemetery, Gurnee, IL is in Lake County, Illinois, matching the burial place; Shared stone with Mary Bentley 1861–1938 suggests a spouse buried alongside him
Limits: No image attached; the stone is known only from the transcription in the citation; Find a Grave is a compiled source and records no burial date; A gravestone shows commemoration, not the burial date; no interment record is cited; The Find a Grave header year of 1859 differs from the stone's 1858; the note treats this as a slip, and the stone supports 1858; Lake County is inferred from Gurnee and is not stated in the citation
