Bishop-15409 and Bishop-1777 appear to represent the same person because: same death date and spouse. DOB discrepancy between Bishop-1777 profile and the Find A Grave memorial. Bishop-1777 is basically a mess...hasn't been cleaned up after gedcom import & source citations didn't come in with the gedcom. :-(
