A relative was found dead in a Kansas City, Missouri, hotel room in July of 1921 and depending upon who was telling the story the relative was either murdered or committed suicide. There were numerous articles about the relative in the Kansas City newspapers and in newspapers in western Illinois where the relative was from. Many of newspaper references contained repetitive content and I almost stopped reading new ones as they generally contained the same material.
Except one in Kansas City in Septemer of 1921. It mentioned a girlfriend of the relative who apparently had married someone else shortly before my relative’s death. Of course the newspaper only referred to the girlfriend as “girlfriend.’ Fortunately her husband was named.
It pays to read everything.
