A death record can be requested for $15.00 from the Brookline Town Clerk at Town Hall - 1st Floor 333 Washington Street Brookline, MA 02445. Even with the month and year, they will perform a search to find the record. I have found the turn around is fairly quick with these requests. Once you get a specific death date, try random acts of genealogical kindness..www.raogk.com. There are a lot of wonderful volunteers in Mass that will locate obits for you (but the date of death is a must!) I have had a lot of success with raogk. I hope this helps.
