The index transcription gives Hansen, Charles C. (Carl), died 4 Nov 1947 in Freeborn County, certificate 1947-MN-004558. This matches the claimed date and the county of Albert Lea. As an index entry with no image, it cannot confirm the town or the full middle name, so it is consistent rather than fully supporting.
Matches: Name Charles C. (Carl) Hansen matches the claimed Charles Christian Hansen; Death date 4 Nov 1947 matches the claim; Freeborn County matches Albert Lea, Freeborn, Minnesota (county level); Certificate number 1947-MN-004558 matches the one cited in the claim
Limits: Index entry only, with no image of the certificate; Transcription gives only the county, not Albert Lea specifically; Middle name Christian is not shown, only the initial C.; The index does not settle the birth-year conflict (1865 vs 1867); the claim is a death claim, so this is a gap rather than a contradiction; The index does not give parents, spouse or age, so identity rests on name, date and county
