OCR is rough (Trove full-text layer). Confirms birth 4 Mar 1872 at Nuriootpa (matches the existing cemetery-sourced birth date exactly) and gives birthplace; adds baptism 31 Mar 1872 and confirmation 25 Apr 1886 at Tanunda; states he married Pauline Bertha BENSCH at Steinfeld on 6 May 1895; states his wife died 13 Mar 1924 — an EXACT match to the death date already recorded for Pauline Bertha Lange #85107 from her own headstone, which is the hard discriminator identifying her as his wife. States he was survived by two sons and three daughters (unnamed) — consistent with the cluster of Lange burials at Sedan Cemetery (Paul Aurthur Lange #85106, and this batch's Eleanora Frieda Lange #85103, Ida Sophie Lange #85105, and Ella Lange #85104 'wife of Herbert Lange') but the obituary does not name them, so no parent-child link is asserted from it alone.
