I have found my 3rd great grandfather's obito in Maia, Ribeira Grande, 
1884.  It is image #7, #17 for Felicianno de Mello:

I need help with the phrase after his name.  It starts veterano _______ de 
linha.  Second word looks like "catropa".  I know that he was a soldier in 
a battalion on the island from records from the 1830s, so I assume that 
this is what it refers to.

Thanks for your help!
