I agree that we need to see more of the page so we can make comparisons, if at all possible, please.  But to start the ball rolling, I'll thrown in a suggestion of Charleston, Mississippi.

Chur  - Helvetia (Switzerland)


Second thought see later

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

I wondered about Chur too, but I couldn't make anything sensible out of the second word.

Could it be Kurhessen - the Electorate of Hesse. It appears to have had a rather complicated history - see eg this page at Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Hesse
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

So why not "Chur-Hesse" ?
Ballingall, Donaldson, Fulton, Gillespie, Ramsay, Walker - in Fife.
Bury - in Salford & Liverpool.
Jack - in Glasgow, Dunfermline & Dundee.
Bermingham/Birmingham - in Cork.
Eagle - in Norfolk, Edinburgh & Glasgow.

I didn't find any evidence that it had been spelled like that. Do you have any?

No, none at all, but that's how it reads to me.
Ballingall, Donaldson, Fulton, Gillespie, Ramsay, Walker - in Fife.
Bury - in Salford & Liverpool.
Jack - in Glasgow, Dunfermline & Dundee.
Bermingham/Birmingham - in Cork.

Going along with Chur-Hessen solely on the basis of finding a folk costume painting of Chur Hessen an der Schwalm https://www.zvab.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=5185512772&searchurl=hl%3Don%26tn%3Dchur%2Bhessen%26sortby%3D20

The double ss is clearer than it was when I first looked.

(The fact that the Schwalm is in North Rhine Westphalia does not preclude the name Hesse/Hessen apperaing in a name)
