The newspaper is not named; the transcription is dated "9-3-65" (3 September 1965) — it is not stated whether that is the publication date or the death date, and he "died yesterday" relative to it, so the record carries September 1965 without a day. Our archive's index entry gives his dates as 1898~1965; no birth date appears in the obituary text itself.
