Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier index.
Only a citation to a 1 Feb 1968 obituary in the Herald Times Reporter (Manitowoc) is given, with no text or image. The date and place fit the 1968 death in the claim, but nothing shows the birth date or birthplace. At most this is consistent, and it needs the obituary text to confirm the 12 Nov 1926 birth in Manitowoc.
Matches: Obituary of William Konecny dated 1 Feb 1968 fits the claimed death year of 1968; Newspaper is a Manitowoc paper, which fits a Manitowoc-area person
Limits: No image or transcription is attached, so the obituary text cannot be read; The birth date of 12 November 1926 and the birthplace cannot be checked against the evidence; Obituaries usually give age or birth date, but this one cannot be checked; Only the citation is available, so identity depends on the name and the newspaper
