[Genealib] RE: Philadelphia newspaper obit

[Grimshaw, Kathy]

John,

Has your patron contacted the Baseball Hall of Fame for information
about "Red" Donahue? I asked them for some research on a relative once
and found them very helpful and thorough.

 

Here's the link to their research library:

Hi,

 

We have a patron who has asked for an obituary of a person who died in

Philadelphia in 1913.

 

Unfortunately we don't have access to an Obituary or old Philadelphia

Newspaper Database.

 

If it is possible can someone get us a copy of this obit thru a online

database and email or fax us a copy?  I know my patron would be very
grateful as will I.

 

The deceased -

  Francis "Red" Donahue  or   Frank "Red" Donahue

  Died August 26th, 1913

 

Mr. Donahue was a well known baseball player for the Philadelphia
Phillies.

He was born in Waterbury Connecticut and after retiring opened a Saloon
in Philadelphia.

 

There may be a large article written about his death in the Philadelphia
paper.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Our email address:  johnw at biblio.org

Our fax #   203-723-1820

 

Thank You!!!!!

John Wiehn
