The obituary gives the death date as 17 August 2016, age 78, and gives birth on 15 April 1938 in Chicago. It also names parents Alois Tauber and Irene Benz Tauber, matching the claim. One caveat: the obituary says he died at Archbold Medical Center in Thomasville, so the claim's place of Moultrie records his residence, not where he died. Also, this is a derivative web obituary capture, so the evidence is secondary.

Limits: The record is a text capture of a web obituary, not an image of the original newspaper or a death certificate; The obituary gives the residence as Moultrie but the death place as Thomasville; the claimed death place of Moultrie, Colquitt, Georgia reflects residence rather than the location of death; County (Colquitt) is not stated in the obituary; The obituary names the mother as Irene Benz, which is the Benz/Benz spelling of the claim and may differ from other records; The transcription in the evidence note is abridged compared with the captured text, but there is no conflict between them
