The citation is an obituary for Gerald H. Matheys dated 3 Feb 1993 in a Manitowoc newspaper, which fits a death in early 1993. The transcription text is not shown, so Holy Cross Cemetery in Two Rivers cannot be verified from what is provided. Nothing contradicts the claim, but the evidence is thin.
Matches: Obituary of Gerald H. Matheys dated 3 Feb 1993 matches the 1993 death year in the claim; Source is a Manitowoc newspaper, which fits the Manitowoc County burial location
Limits: No image and no transcription text are provided, so the burial place cannot be confirmed from the evidence shown; It is a Find a Grave transcription of a newspaper obituary, so it is a secondary or compiled source; An obituary usually gives only planned burial, not the actual burial; The claim has no burial date, so none can be checked; Birth year 1924 cannot be checked without the obituary text
