    Thank you, Beth. I will do a search of the local newspaper and see if anything comes of that before 1952, the year of King George VI's death. The Library of Congress newspaper collection only comes to 1922 and they are made up of random newspapers....instead of all newspapers in all U.S. towns, though.
