You need to try the social security death index which may give you information. The Kenton County Library has microfilm of all the northern Kentucky and Cincinnati newspapers in that time period. However they are the whole paper day by day or week by week. So you need to narrow the time frame. They will, for a fee do a search for you. But don't think they will do a whole year. You should be able to find the date through the Kentucky Archives in Frankfort.
