Here's the first entry; the writing is very faint, so it's difficult to make out some of tohe names.

Thank you. Would you agree that the month might be June? This is a larger clip, and I think that the next entry is from July.

Based on the birth date, and then the age at death, yes, it's probably June. Interesting that the months June and July in the larger snippet are both spelled with an I at the beginning instead of J.
