March 14 — Newsmakers?  Did you have a female ancestor who made the news?  Why?  Was she famous or notorious?  Did she appear in the social column?

My ancestors were working class immigrants so there wasn’t much of a chance for them to appear in the social columns of the local newspapers.  I have mounted copy of my paternal grandmother’s obituary from 1966 that appeared in the Daily News in McKeesport, PA.  The funeral home provided it to the family.
