The funeral card

From the funeral card

Mrs. L. Dana who died on Nov. 16, 1889 at the age of 70. Found in Illinois

Sources differ on her birth year: our archive's index entry dated her 1810–1889, while the card's stated age of 70 at death implies a birth year near 1819; the birth year is therefore not recorded here. Both readings are preserved. The card gives no place of death — Illinois is where the card was found.
