Searched for: RE-RUN BECAUSE THE PLACE CHANGED, WHICH IS THE CLAUDE.md TRIGGER. The 2026-10-04 sweep searched on Andover; [D.904] puts her at Sussex Borough in April 1950, heading her own house.firstname=Sadie,lastname=Cooper, born 1884 +/- 3, and deliberately NO location token - the hook's rule, after a guessed Find a Grave place id returned a Nebraska memorial under a chip reading "New Jersey" earlier the same day. 25 matching records, BOTH PAGES READ (1-20 and 21-25). (link)Result: NO MEMORIAL LOCATED, and it is a bounded null. Of the 25, exactly one is in New Jersey - Sadie l. Clifford Cooper, 14 Dec 1881 - 22 May 1922, Fairmount Cemetery, Phillipsburg, Warren County - and she died in 1922, while ours was enumerated alive in April 1950. The rest are Ontario, Tennessee, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, California, Arkansas, Washington and Texas, and the last five are bareS.initial matches. => She has no Find a Grave memorial under Sadie Cooper, which is worth knowing because her husband Albert Alvin Cooper has none either, although both his obituaries bury him at Andover Cemetery. A couple with no memorials is a pattern, not two coincidences - the likeliest reading is that Andover Cemetery is thinly covered on that site rather than that they are buried elsewhere.
