Source for death date[edit]

@Thecelluloidvoid: Would you mind adding a citation for Fortune's date of death? This isn't mentioned in any of the sources currently cited in the article. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 04:29, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Thecelluloidvoid: My search on Newspapers.com did not turn up any obituaries for Fortune. Would you please let me know what your source for her death date is? It's really important for this information to be verifiable. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 00:39, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi—not seeing it now; I thought I saw a citation for it, but I'll go ahead and remove her death date for now, since I'm having trouble finding it and forgot to save my work! —@thecelluloidvoid

Thanks for replying. The article has been nominated for DYK, so it would be great to restore this information if you can track down a source. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 02:28, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
