Washington USA Newspaper Look Up

[tazzy]

Hello
Can anyone look up a death for Peter Proctor who died in March 1895  possibly in Balltimore.
He was born in Elgin, Morayshire on 20 MAY 1815
I have his grave inscription but just wanted to know if there was anymore information on any wife or parents in the newspaper notice

Many thanks in advance

Not a newspaper clipping, but

Washington, D.C. Death and Burial Index
Peter Proctor, died at age 80.  Married.
Birth Date and Place: 1815, Scotland
Death Date and Place: 11 Mar 1895, District of Columbia
Burial Date: 13 March
Cemetery: Oak Hill
Father   [No Name]
Mother   [No Name]

Added: index stated that he was married when he died.  However, shown below was his possible wife but she died in 1893.    Were there two men with very similar details or did he remarry after his first wife’s passing?

Possibly Peter’s wife:

Barbara Proctor, 1824-1893

Proctors buried in the same cemetery (including Peter):

   Added: you’ve most likely read it, but there is a brief paragraph about Peter’s life (no mention of family).

One newspaper mention here: https://www.rootschat.com/links/index.php
However only a mention of a burial permit,  nothing about family.

Hello Lisa
Many thanks  and to everyone for their help.
The 1870 Census for Peter Proctor (Farmer), I think is the one I'm looking for.
He was married to Janet Mann in Scotland.  He was on the 1851 Census but not on 1861 Census but on 1871 Census which means he must have come back to Scotland although I can't find him on any Passenger list
I think the other Peter, married to Barbara, may have been related somehow but I'm still researching

Perhaps the information from FindAGrave is incorrect?
Peter Proctor
Birth: 20 May 1815, Scotland

Details state that he left Scotland in 1839.
