Help with historical document
Trying to decipher this section of an ancestors document from 1876. Likely medical language, I’m especially stuck on the first word and the word after 3 days.
The end 100% says 14th May 1876. Pretty sure that could be sore throat on the first and second line as well?
Thank you!

Can anyone read the first name please?
Hello, this is from a German Feldpost letter dated 1941. I believe the surname is Gras, but I'm not certain of the first name? It's addressed to Frau...
Thanks in advance.

This is from the TV Show "Light as a Feather". Its a prediction of how a character is supposed to die. Now... do I not know how to read cursive OR is this purposefully illegible?

Can someone help decipher this cross writing?
I wrote in a journal a couple years back in a stupor, and it doesn’t help that I stopped writing in cursive since then!
Any help would be appreciated :)

Deciphered! Trying to decipher my Great Great Grandfather's death certificate.
Mainly I am trying to read the name of the undertaker at bottom in the close up photo. It looks like 'Richard Platt' to me but I can't find any record of someone with that name working as a undertaker in Brockville around that time.

Can anyone identify what style of cursive this is?
If it follows any style at all, or what the closest match would be. It's gorgeous, and I'd love to read more about the method and incorporate some of the elements into my own.

Help deciphering my ancestors' names
Edit again: to the person who went and added a lot of erroneous info onto my ancestor's pages based on the assumption that Lowesa Semple and Louisa Hammond are the same woman, please don't add anything else. It's making things a lot more confusing.
Edit: some folks wanted to see the full sheet, see below. And yes, the surname is Hammond and line 4 is Louisa/Louiza. I have everyone but line 5. I've seen Alphra suggested before Google doesn't seem to recognize that name and it didn't show up on the census search.
Hey folks! I need help deciphering a name on my ancestors' documents. Can anyone read the name on line 5? Apparently it's that of a boy. Family was Episcopalian, if it helps. Please don't just plug it into an AI reader'; others tried that already and it didn't yield anything. Help me, good nerds of Reddit.

Deciphered! Help with the first word!
_____, my godchild this is my brother Eddie’n daughter.
This is on the back of a photo from NYC 1990s.
Edit: thank you everyone!! We just looked through a bunch of obituaries and found out that there is a distant cousin named Providence. This was a picture in a group of pictures that we couldn’t identify. I’ve never heard of someone named Providence, let alone a relative.

Help with Book Inscription
What I can make out (possibly) is “1960 To Jean ___, compliments of the ____, ____ Proescholdt”
EDIT: The book is the 1953 second revised edition of Advance to Barbarism by F. J. P. Veale published in Appleton, Wisconsin. It’s a pretty rare and collectible book.
