09⇑Farrand's gravestone has 29 January, but the death notice has 31 January and newspaper reports have a timetime of midnight Monday/Tuesday night (30/31), burial on 1 February, and an inquest on 2 February, though there is some apparent confusion of dates in the reporting of the inquest. For example, the official date of the inquest is 1 February.
