Transcription and reasoning
Image ID: none (transcription 6-043)
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The cemetery transcription gives the name, birth 31 Mar 1831, and death 23 Sep 1901, which agree with the claimed death date and the 1831 birth year. It says nothing about where he died. Burial in the Town of Milton near Saratoga Springs fits the place but does not prove it, so the date is supported and the place is only consistent.
Matches: Name Norman Seymour Bentley matches Norman S Bentley; Death date 1901/09/23 matches claimed 23 September 1901; Birth 1831/03/31 matches the 1831 birth year in the claim; Age 70y fits a 1831 birth and 1901 death
Limits: Cemetery transcription gives no place of death; the burial is in North Milton Cemetery (Town of Milton), so Saratoga Springs as death place is not stated; Transcription only; no image of the stone or an original death record; Compiled cemetery listing, so the death date may come from the stone rather than a vital record; Spouse (Emilie Monley Wagner) cannot be checked against the claim as given
