The clipping image reads clearly and explicitly states that Jeffrey S. Toepel, 59, formerly of Green Bay, died Aug. 28, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz., of cancer. The family members listed (parents Dick and Dorothy, sisters Jodi Konecny and Beth Dressel, brother Dave, daughter Alyssa, Ann) match the claim note. Confidence stops at 3 because the middle name, the publication date and the county are not visible in the clip, and the obituary is a secondary source.
Matches: Obituary names Jeffrey S. Toepel, age 59, died Aug. 28, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz., matching the claimed death date and place; "Formerly of Green Bay" matches the claim note; Age 59 is consistent with a 1949 birth year; Parents Dick and Dorothy Toepel, Mesa, Ariz. match the note; Sisters Jodi (Pete) Konecny, Nashville, Tenn., and Beth (Mark) Dressel, Pequot Lake, Minn. match the note; Brother Dave (Stephanie) Toepel, Mesa, Ariz. matches the note; Daughter Alyssa Toepel, Appleton, and her mother Ann Toepel, Green Bay match the note; Cancer as cause matches ("courageous battle with cancer")
Limits: The clipping shows only "Jeffrey S.", not the full middle name Scott; The image does not show the publication date (7 Sep 2008) or the newspaper name; these rely on the citation; Mesa is given, but the county (Maricopa) is not stated; this is an inference; Age 59 implies birth between 1948 and 1949 depending on birthday; the exact birth date is not given; The image is cropped at the bottom, so the remainder of the obituary is not visible; the transcript covers text beyond the image, such as the end of the brother line; Newspaper obituary is a derivative, secondary source for the death; the informant is unknown
