To Charles Curteys, who died 27 June, 1866
Hi,
first: Carolo Curteys means To Charles Curteys, who died... Carolo is in dative. This is the more important part in my post, because nobody has yet noticed that.
V Kal. Quint. means the 27 June, this form (without the a.d. abbreviation) was common even in the ancient times and Cicero used it in his letters:
examples from ad Atticum VII.:
...sed cum haec scribebam v Kalend.,...
VI Kal. vesperi Balbus minor ad me venit...
ego xiii Kalend., cum eadem lucerna hanc epistulam scripsissem qua inflammaram tuam,...
In the middle ages, this form without a.d. became dominant.

Comment: "Thank you. It is unlikely that a person of Charles' status would have been buried within less than 24 hours of his death. Two members of the same family who died in 1848 and 1854 were both buried 5 days after they died and another who died in 1874 was buried 8 days after death."

Charles Curteys who died on 2 July 1866
Kal. Quint. is for Quinto Kalendas, but in the sentence is missing the month. It should be "Kal. Quint. Julii".

Sorry, it is "who died on 27 June 1866". When posting my answer I had in my mind the date of burial.

: Yes, but Quint. stands for Quintilius (July). http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Quintilis Five (V) days before the Kalendas of Quintilus (5 days before July 1).
