wiping it out.

Submitter's Notes: My copy of this obituary was of terrible
quality. Throughout the entire obituary
each letter was surrounded with tiny dots.
Using google to ascertain names of places and businesses, I think most
of my translation here is correct. Some
words I could not figure out at all as noted below.
*I think this is DOE but not positive.
** This city was not capitalized and may not be spelled
correctly. Dolores was from
LINDENHURST. Looking at U.S. Public
Records Index, Volume 1 at her son David, one address given for him is also
LINDENHURST.
*** I know
this is wrong. Nothing like this
appears as a location in Wisconsin, but this is what it looked like to me.
**** These I could not figure out at all.
***** In both the obituaries for Willard Hollingsworth and for
his wife Caroline, parents of Dolores Pucin and her sister Patricia, this name
is given as Patricia OGILVIE.
