Karl, Well that was quite nice of you to check on the symbol for me. So does it seem that in the obituaries, like the one I was looking up below, the date given would be the funeral date, rather than a date of death, if the letter f is used before the divider? If the letter d is used as in the majority of the obits, the date given is the date of death?

The " || " is the divider between two pieces of data.  One should read the entry as Amos Katt's funeral (the "f" after the date) was on August 18, 1891.  In that funeral announcement, it noted that he was the son of A. C. Kattt ("s of A C Katt").

That is the way I would understand it!
