Newspaper record

• Biographical notice in Fort William Daily Times-Journal, 1960-02-29.
  • Age recorded as 19 years.
  • Index note: In accident.

Notes

• The 1943 air-force recruiting notice and the 1950 Henderson's listing (coatingman at Provincial Paper, wife Dollie) describe an adult in those years, so they belong to an older namesake and were moved to Edward Sarachman (coatingman). The 1960 accident notice giving his age as 19 matches the obituary's birth date of 31 October 1940.
