    Click "Edit" in the middle of the black banner at the top of the screen. It's already been edited four times. Be sure to check the original image, which you can do at a Family History Center, and find out what the record really says. There is a difference between correcting an incorrect transcription and "correcting" an original record. There is never any debate about the appropriateness of doing the first. The second can be somewhat contentious.

    I do not live near a family history center. I can guarantee the death date is not correct>

    But you can't guarantee what that particular record says without seeing the record.

    Anyone else on this board who can check the record?
