The transcribed memorial gives burial at North Milton Cemetery, North Milton, Saratoga Co., NY, for Emilie Wagner Bentley with dates 1833–1917, matching the claim's place and life span. It is a compiled source, so it states the burial place directly but cannot independently verify it. The parent discrepancy is noted in the claim and does not affect the burial fact.
Matches: Memorial name Emilie Wagner Bentley matches Emilie M Wagner (married name Bentley); Birth 22 Jul 1833 and death 1 Mar 1917 match the 1833–1917 span in the claim; Death place Chicago, Cook Co., IL matches the death fact already on the profile; Burial at North Milton Cemetery, North Milton, Saratoga Co., NY matches the claimed place exactly
Limits: Find a Grave is a compiled, derivative, secondary source; the burial place is transcribed, not read from an image of a burial record; No image of a gravestone or burial record was examined; the memorial page has photos but they are not attached here; No burial date is given, which matches the claim's 'none recorded'; The memorial's parents (Daniel Bell Wagner / Mary Rogers) are not accepted by the tree and are not used here; the citation does not resolve the parentage or maiden name question; Memorial identity as the same Emilie depends on the name and dates alone; no spouse or family links are given in the transcription
