Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The transcribed stone shows Mary Bentley, 1861–1938, in Warren Cemetery, Gurnee, which fits the claimed person and burial place. A headstone does not give the 4 October 1938 burial date, so that part is unconfirmed. The identification rests on name and years only.
Matches: Stone inscription reads "MARY BENTLEY 1861 - 1938", matching the name and the birth and death years; Warren Cemetery is in Gurnee, Lake County, Illinois, matching the burial place
Limits: The stone gives only years, so it cannot show the burial date of 4 October 1938; No image was attached, so the inscription is known only from the transcription; The middle initial W is not on the stone as transcribed; A Find a Grave memorial is a compiled source, and a headstone does not record a burial date; The stone is shared with the Wood family, so the link between Mary Bentley and the claimed person rests on the name and years alone
