Los Angeles Times

[Joyce C]

Hello.

Does anybody have access to the archives of The Los Angeles Times?

I would like to see the articles which appeared in the newspaper Sunday 3rd and Tuesday 5th August 1930 concerning the death of my 2nd cousin, 3 times removed James Dean's death.

Death certificate, which I have seen, gives cause of death as:-
"Several crushing & mangling injuries of entire body & head. Pedestrian with electric car. suicidal".

James was born 1869 in Dufftown, Scotland and emigrated to the United States in either 1890 or 1891.

Many thanks for your help.

Bob Calder, Blackburn, England.
