Searched for: HIS SECOND MARRIAGE, approached through the WIFE rather than through him — the same move that found Eileen L. (Iversen) Cooper's maiden name. The only handle was a death year from a public-records aggregator ([N.43]: 'Died Jun 2000'). (a)firstname=Cynthia&lastname=Nelson&deathyear=2000&location=Kansas, USA&locationId=state_18-> 1.

(Nelson) Cooper: Cynthia M Nelson, 1950-2000, Resurrection Catholic Cemetery, Lenexa, Johnson Co., Kansas, memorial 175477733, parsed with fetch_findagrave.ps1. THE MARRIAGE IS STILL UNEVIDENCED. The memorial names no spouse and its family panel is empty, so this closes nothing about the marriage itself; it gives her a burial, a file and a death year that is now a memorial rather than an aggregator row. All FOUR Ancestry hints on that memorial were opened and all four are a different woman - Cynthia ANNE Nelson who married John Ruston Simpson in 1974 and has an obituary dated 2008, eight years after this memorial's death year.

Searched for: FOUR SEARCHES, and a control. (a)firstname=Terrance&lastname=Cooper&deathyear=2022, no location -> 0. (b) the same withfirstname=Terrence-> 0. (c) the same withfirstname=Terry-> 5, ALL READ. (d) the located sweep the §People rule asks for:lastname=Cooper&deathyear=2022&location=Kansas, USA&locationId=state_18-> 27, BOTH PAGES READ. Known of him for matching: b. 25 Jan 1948, d. 11 May 2022, Overland Park, Johnson Co.Result: NO MEMORIAL LOCATED — and that is a statement about these four searches, not about where he is buried. He may have no memorial at all: [J.525] is a funeral-chapel obituary that names no cemetery. THE ZERO IS A REAL ZERO, because the query shape was CONTROLLED: the identical form withfirstname=Terryreturns 5 memorials, so the two spellings that return nothing are returning nothing about the world and not about a broken query. None of the 5 is him — Terry Clyde (1952, Ohio), two Terry Edwards (1951, North Carolina and burial unknown), Terry S (1951, Tennessee), Terry Wayne (1956, Texas); no 1948 birth and no 11 May death among them. None of the 27 Kansas Coopers is him either. ONE NEAR-MISS, NOT PURSUED: Phyllis Landgrebe Cooper (1933–2022) lies in Resurrection Catholic Cemetery, Lenexa, Johnson Co. — the same cemetery as his brother David Wendell Cooper David Wendell Cooper. Nothing connects her to this family and she is recorded here only so the coincidence is not re-discovered as a lead.
