Date of death
- The linked reference gives her date of death alternately as 1980 and 1983. Since it states she was 83 when she died, I'm using giving the most verbose claim the benefit of the doubt. --Dystopos 20:25, 11 September 2007 (PDT)
- I believe you're mistaking the dates of the papers in the collection with her birth and death dates. If she was 83 when she died, whether it was 1980 or 1983, she wasn't born in 1910. (Likewise, she probably didn't start working for the News in 1921 if she was 11.) I'd presume the 1980 death date is correct. --Lkseitz 19:46, 12 September 2007 (PDT)
- I think you're right. OK. Died in 1980 at age 83 means born c.1897, right? --Dystopos 20:30, 12 September 2007 (PDT)
