The page image is readable. It shows Alonzo Church Wood (1811-92) as the second link in Jessie Smith Calhoun's lineage, so the death year 1892 is stated. The book compiles applicant-supplied data and gives the year only, so it is good compiled evidence but not a primary death record.
Matches: Entry 138910 (Mrs. Jessie Smith Calhoun) lists generation 2 as "Alonzo Church Wood (1811-92) m. 1837 Amelia Dickenson (1815-54)"; The name matches the claimed person exactly; The death year 1892 is given as "92" in the 1811-92 span, which fits the claim
Limits: The lineage book is a compiled DAR application abstract, not an original death record; Only the death year is given, with no day, month or place; The death year is abbreviated to two digits and relies on the 1811 birth century; The source for the dates is the applicant's own submitted lineage, not shown here
