@Billinghurst: Is it possible you can find even more that I couldn't, perhaps a more precise birthdate or a birthplace? ミラP@Miraclepine 16:16, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: With something like the obituary behind the Project Muse firewall / DeepDyve, always have a look to see if their is a subscription via https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/ and if not, then never be afraid to suggest it. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:12, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
