Newspaper Obituary for Alexander Stockmal
« on: Monday 29 May 17 09:57 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for a newspaper obituary for Alexander J Stockmal (possibly Stochmal). He's not coming up in any searches, so unfortunately I don't have a link to provide, but I'd like to be sure this isn't a case of the word recognition just not picking him up.

Most news regarding his family was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, so I imagine that any obituary he had would be there. He died March 10, 1980 and was buried March 14, so I'm looking for something published between those dates. If anyone would be willing to check the obituaries on the off chance that he's listed, I'd be extremely grateful.

In case nothing materialises on here - there are a couple of RAOGK Philadelphia volunteers listed on the link below who may be able to help.

You can search the Philadelphia Inquirer here - https://www.newspapers.com/title_4352/the_philadelphia_inquirer/  You need a subscription to see the full article, but the snippets from the search results are usually enough to see if you've found the right information.  I don't see any obituary from 1980 for Stockmal or Stochmal.
