The notice summary places the death of Norman S. Bentley at the D&H station in Saratoga Springs around 24 Sep 1901, which fits the claimed place and date. The date is not stated explicitly and there is no image. The age of 73 conflicts with the 1831 birth year, which may be a rounding or reporting error, or may point to a different birth year in the database; it does not contradict the death claim itself.
Matches: Name Norman S. Bentley matches; Death at D&H station, Saratoga Springs matches the claimed place; Notice dated c. 24 Sep 1901 fits a death on 23 Sep 1901; Age 73 implies birth c. 1827–1828, close to the claimed 1831 birth year (see flags)
Flags: Age 73 implies birth about 1827/28, not 1831 (a 3-4 year gap, more than one year)
Limits: No image; the citation text is a researcher's summary of a newspaper notice; Exact publication date not recorded, so the death date of 23 Sep 1901 is inferred, not stated; Notice does not give an explicit death date in the summary; Parents not named, so identity cannot be confirmed through family links; Saratoga County and New York are implied by Saratoga Springs, not stated separately
