Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The page (Lineage Book p. 19, entries 95050 and 95051) lists 'Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95)' as the wife of Alfred N. Beadle (m. 1865) and mother-line ancestor of Helen B. Beadle Barnett and Cynthia H. Beadle. The 1895 death year fits the claim. As a compiled lineage entry giving only a year range, it supports the year but not the exact date or place.
Matches: Entries 95050 and 95051 name Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95), who married Alfred N. Beadle in 1865; The birth/death span 1838-95 gives a death year of 1895, matching the claim and her 1838 birth year
Limits: The Lineage Book is a compiled DAR lineage publication, not an original death record; It gives only the year span (1838-95), with no death date or place; The death year is abbreviated as '95' and assumed to mean 1895, consistent with the 1838 birth; Based on applicant-submitted lineage data, so it is secondary evidence
What it supports
- Died · 1895 — Mary Frances Bentley
