    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mack Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vk.2ADE/1775 Message Board Post: I have a date discrepancy that I am just now catching, years after having received copy of obit for: W.F. Mack (W. Fred Mack aka William Fred Mack). I think it came from the Waterloo Evening Courier (?) page 10: the date written on it by (?) wrote: "Courier, 4/8/29" HOWEVER: cemetery records for him (Fairview Cemetery) state: "William Mack, age 67 Death 4/17/1929"; at least this is what was written in a letter dated 1991 from Mr. Knipp (caretaker?) to me, at the cemetery when I wrote to him in 1991. So I would appreciate it if someone could please check this newspaper to see what the actual date of it was.... did he die on the 7th or 17th of April, 1929; the newspaper states that he "died yesterday".
