A Reminder to Check Dates

When we work on profiles, it's so important to pay attention to how the various dates interact.  

I came across a profile (not on WikiTree, thank goodness), where the woman died on July 25.  The profile also said that she was buried on July 24.

Well, the cause of death is obvious, isn't it!

One possible cause of death is that the boat she was in capsized and she drowned.

And I hate it when people (on Ancestry) like to fill in the death date a 100 years from the birth date when they have no source to support any death date.
