Evidence limits

The forum preserves a reproduced obituary and service announcement. The held funeral-home obituary and cemetery record provide stronger independent support for identity and dates, while the forum adds the local notice and requested memorial destinations. The archive does not document funeral attendance or the later Plymouth celebration of life.
