Death year

edit

"New England Families"[1] says he died 1902; his gravestone says 1901;[2] and the City of Providence website says 1903.[3] I'll try to find a contemporary obituary. - Kzirkel (talk) 20:11, 28 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

OK, I found the original Providence Daily Journal obituary on microfilm in the library. His obituary appeared 18 March 1901. So he definitely died 17 March 1901, which agrees with his tombstone. - Kzirkel (talk) 16:26, 29 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
