For “Died” 12 NOV 1898 of Elizabeth Ferguson

"Daughter of Stephen and Jane Henderson, age 65 Informant, John Ferguson + \"brother\""

The memorial's biography quoted verbatim, including its own transposition of the surname onto the parents. It reads as a transcript of the Ontario death registration: parents Stephen and Jane, i.e. #3059 and #6451; age 65, consistent with a birth of 20 SEP 1833; and the informant her brother John Ferguson, i.e. #3028. This is the identification, and it is what justifies filling the death place. Quality 2: a contributor's transcription of a registration, not the registration itself.

For “Died” 12 NOV 1898 of Elizabeth Ferguson

12 Nov 1898 (aged 65)

The memorial's own separate Death metadata field (id="deathDateLabel", itemprop="deathDate"), distinct from the stone (citation 50335, year only) and the registration-like biography (citation 50336, no day/month). No registration number or other source beside it, so it's an uncited contributor entry. Quality 1 accordingly. Disagrees with the tree's recorded 12 DEC 1898 (itself uncited, from the GEDCOM/Ancestry Family Trees import). "(aged 65)" is Find a Grave's own computed age, not independent corroboration. Recorded to make the conflict visible on the person's citation list; deathDate deliberately left unchanged pending a primary source.
