How it is shown: Cropped to the document only: the viewer's toolbar, buttons, page counter and any account name are removed; no retouch of the document, no highlight. The saved original screenshot stays private.
Keep in mind: Confirmed as printed; the age digits read 88 at zoom (they could be 83), and no date of death is given. The notice was copied from the Dover Herald, which was not found. A back-calculation from 88 years 10 months fits a 15 March 1840 death and a May 1751 birth.
