Deaths (Book II)

3/19/46 H. Glintenkamp
              H. H. Richardson
              Jung
              Largo Caballero
3/26 Vincent Youmans
3/27 Alekhine - killed
3/31 Leon Kobrin 
4/3 Noah Beery
4/23 Mae Busch & Lionel Atwill
Interesting to me that he spelled "Mae" correctly this time (wrote "May" on the original entry). But see my note at the end of this section.
5/4 Little Bill Johnston
5/6 Dr. Simon Flexner
5/8 J J Johnston
5/18 Eberhard Faber
5/20 Booth Tarkington
5/24 Henry George Weiss
He didn't write the deaths too clearly, so I've been going back to the date of the diary entry to check the names; found that this one was entered by me as "Henry Bruga Weiss"; now corrected. And, BTW, it seems that the name was really George Henry Weiss. 
5/26 Patterson of the "News"
   29 Carter Glass
He started writing only the new month, from here on.
6/4 Kalinin
   7 Gerhard Hauptmann
   10 Sen. Bankhead
   11 Jack Johnson
   15 Major Bowes; Chas. Butterworth
   26 Wm Hart
   30 Wanda Gag, Antoinette Perry
Just found out that he's NOT going through the diary for deaths; these two are not mentioned in that day's (or any other day's) diary entry (except that I did take out a book from the library by Wanda Gag).
7/5 Steiglitz [sic]
This one made me check the name; he misspelled it both times, understandable, considering our last name!
   11 Sidney Hillman
   20 Bogolometz
   28 Gertrude Stein
8/9 Tony Lazzeri
8/14 H G Wells
   17 D. Bellanca
   20 Fielding Yost
9/2 Moriz Rosenthal
   20 Stewart Edward White
   22 Raimu
   25 Jeff Tesreau
10/5 Barney Oldfield - Gifford Pinchot
     12 Gen. Stillwell
     23 Ernest Thompson Seton
11/9 Gabriel Wells
     15 May Sinclair, DE [sic] Falla 
     19 Jimmy Walker
     26 Henry Morgenthau
12/7 Sam Shore
     9 Laurette Taylor
     11 Damon Runyon, Walter Johnson
     16 Lewis Valentine
     21 Gene Talmadge
     30 Carrie Jacobs Bond
1/2/47 Charles W. Cadman
   5 Ogden Reid
   12 Eva Tanguay
   21 Charles Krumbein
   22 Josh Gibson
   23 Andrew Volstead
   26 Grace Moore
   27 Al Capone
   30 Jim Larkin
Another example of a death not in a diary entry.
2/1 Johnny Kling
   5 Adm. Mitscher
   6 Ellen Wilkinson, Hans Fallada
   14 Sidney Toler
   23 Harry K. Thaw
3/10 Carrie Chapman Catt
   18 Jean Richard Bloch
   28 John Evers
4/8 Henry Ford
   19 Benny Leonard
This was difficult to complete correctly, since the last page apparently fell out, and he pasted it in, covering part of the back cover, on which he had written the last 22 names. So some dates were not visible; I took them from the diary entry. 
In addition to the few names which I noted were not in the diary entry, another indication that he was using some other source was that some names were written out differently here than in the diary entry (e.g., Carrie Chapman Catt was Carrie C. Catt in the diary entry; John Evers was Johnny Evers in the diary entry).
