Additional information provided by FAG member #47136297:

"Burial: Evergreen Cemetery grave site location: Section 7, Lot 7, Book: B, Pg. 72, line 1."

The Book B reference is the citation for his death record in Crow Wing County records and has nothing to do with his burial location (which is never given in the death records). And we use Block, not Section. So use:

Burial: Evergreen Cemetery grave site location: Block 7, Lot 7.

Crow Wing County Death Record: Book: B, Pg. 72, line 1.


Also, use "Block 7, Lot 7" for the burial location field.

At the end of the newspaper excerpt, there's a (77 yrs, 4 mo, 6 dys). That appears to be his age in the death record. Nothing to do with a newspaper citation.
