I went to the Forbes Library in Northampton and looked up their city directories and I believe they started in the 1920's. They have other index cards on surname there which might have the name you are looking for, but the city hall records would have the death records. You might try the email address: http://www.gazettenet.com . This is the town news and they might have old obits. There were other paper back then too. This site will have many other good links in the area as well as the Forbes Library which is: http://www.gazettenet.com/forbeslibrary . Good luck, John H. Beach 26 Ridgeland Rd.
