New York, state death index - 1890, page 657 of 879. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSG8-P666?i=656&cc=2803479&cat=4092358

Records from the left side of the page have been indexed but the right side has not been indexed. Looking at surrounding pages it looks like the left and right side are typically indexed but this side was missed by accident.

Thank you very much!

    You are correct, the right half was not indexed. Currently the image cannot be indexed or edited, but that should be available at a future date. In these circumstances, you can attach the unindexed image to the person. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/can-i-use-an-unindexed-image-as-a-source-in-family-tree

    I wonder if that collection may have been indexed by OCR. ALL the names on the right side have the same surname, which was not repeated - standard for such an index. OCR often misses or misinterprets such repeated names.
