This has to do with a obituary source under (my Aunt) Mary Mildred Prince K2HH-7HN, who married Brigham Wright in 1904.

Mary Mildred Prince Wright's obituary in the Lewiston Morning Tribune dated 16 December 1975 United States, GenealogyBank Historical Newspaper Obituaries, 1815-2011

erroneously includes Mrs. Amy S. Bowers, whose obituary was in that newspaper just prior to Mary Mildred Prince Wright. It is indexed incorrectly and the blue line outlining each obituary erroneously encircles Mrs. Amy S. Bowers, who is no relation to Mary Mildred Wright, was married to a Clarence W Bowers, who died in 1925. He and two children by wife Amy were attached erroneously to Mary Mildred.

The source listed under Mary Mildred Prince lists 'unfinished attachments' or if you are on a cell phone lists 'review attachments', and refers to Mrs. Amy S. Bowers listed as a principal and as the mother of her two children and the spouse of Clarence W Bowers. They both died the same day

The indexing of the obituary and/or the newspaper that makes the blue line around both obituaries needs to be corrected.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Jeanette Prince May
