That is the way I would understand it!

Karl,
Well that was quite nice of you to check on the symbol for me. So does
it
seem that in the obituaries, like the one I was looking up below,
the
date
given would be the funeral date, rather than a date of death, if the
letter
f is used before the divider? If the letter d is used as in the
majority
of
the obits, the date given is the date of death?

The " || " is the divider between two pieces of data. One should
read the entry as Amos Katt's funeral (the "f" after the date) was
on August 18, 1891. In that funeral announcement, it noted that he
was the son of A. C. Kattt ("s of A C Katt").
