1945 because in the Funeral Notice of DANIELS on p. 12, he is a Sgt. who
dies in Europe, so it could be during World War II. I apologize for the
confusion but the type of the old newspapers is blurred on the microfilm
and is worse on the Xerox copies. Rounded letters like e, o, b, h and
numbers especially 3, 5 and 8 are very hard to make out usually.]
