The task
No CVs. Both notices are invented; using a real family's would be indefensible.
Notice A
Mrs. Eliza Hannah Corwin died at her residence, 214 Front street, on Tuesday morning at four o'clock, of pneumonia, following an illness of eleven days. She was in her seventy-second year. She leaves two sons, Albert of this city and Ezra of Wenatchee, and one daughter, Mrs. J. H. Prentiss of Tacoma. The funeral will be held from the Methodist church Thursday at two o'clock, with interment in the Odd Fellows cemetery beside her husband.
Notice B
Alton Reece Mbeki, 68, of Bremerton, passed away peacefully on January 19th surrounded by his loving family, after a long illness borne with characteristic patience. Alton was a devoted husband, a loving father and a pillar of the community. He is survived by his wife Rosemary, his daughters, several grandchildren and a host of friends. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes to thank everyone for their kindness.
Does each state a cause of death? Yes or no, then a sentence on anything that made it a hard call. That sentence is the application.
