Thanks to FAG'er- NWpioneer (#46896368) for the above obit he found.
In a check on a newspaper web site I found that this very same obit appeared in papers all over the U.S.! It was in papers in NE., W.VA., PA., LA., MO., and those are just the ones that came up in my search. The obit was most likely in a lot of other papers as well.
