The page image is readable. Entry 118 says Joel Seymour died at Stillwater, N.Y., on 30 Jan. 1841, which is the claimed date and place. The source is a published compiled genealogy and gives no underlying record for the death, so it is a good secondary source but not a primary one.
Matches: Entry 118 is Joel⁶ Seymour, baptized at New Hartford, Conn., 5 July 1772, which fits the 1772 birth year in the claim; The entry says he died at Stillwater, N. Y., 30 Jan. 1841, matching the claimed date and place exactly; The entry names his wife Elizabeth Fellows and gives their children, so it clearly identifies the person
Limits: This is a compiled family genealogy, not an original death record; the book does not cite a source for the death date; The death is stated only in the entry text and has no supporting record such as a gravestone or a death notice; The page shows a baptism date, not a birth date
