The obit I saw was not a true obit..was a posting I found (i thought it was yours but maybe not) that mentioned the 1943 death of has James Franklin in MGM with Ormond and Dewey. Maybe the obit was incorrect..I will investigate that further..I will stay in touch thanks, Andy I may have posted the Obit, do not know where i got it from either, someone sent it to me and I am thinking , they just typed the name wrong?? along with the date ??
