The notice prints the names above. It does not say where Barney or Celia were born or give their parents.
What is not shown: The date and page header are not in the crop, so the date and page are as cited. The children named Charles David, Miriam and Edward match the names in the 2004 notices above by name only. Kermit Berman, Celia’s maiden name Karkel and the society named are printed here and are not matched to any other record on this page.
Philadelphia Inquirer, 12 February 1962, page 19 (as printed in the page header): death notice for Abraham Isaac Berman
The notice prints: “BERMAN.—Feb. 11, 1962, formerly of 3229 Monument st., ABRAHAM ISAAC BERMAN, husband of the late Jennie Berman, father of Anna B. Stone; Sue B. Weiner, Minnie Lichtenstein of Hatboro, Kermit J., Max, Aaron H. Berman, brother of Barney and Kermit Berman, also survived by 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Family will return to 7823 Rugby st.”
What is not shown: The notice names Barney and Kermit Berman as his brothers. It does not say which Barney, and it does not name Celia, Charles David, Miriam or Edward. Whether this Barney is the Barney in the 1967 notice above is not shown by the printed words and is not claimed. The children named here (Anna B. Stone, Sue B. Weiner, Minnie Lichtenstein, Kermit J., Max, Aaron H.) are different names from those printed in the 1967 notice, and no relationship on this page is changed. A link to the newspaper page was not provided with this find; the page header and the notice were read from the crops below (the notice alone, the page header, and the wider column).

What is not shown: The two 2004 notices do not name parents. They do not name Barney or Celia, so they say nothing by themselves about which parents the siblings share.
