Kelly, the Social Security Death Index doesn't give the place of death, it gives the "Last Known Residence." http://www.genealogy.com/genealogy/79_pamela.html?Welcome=1079575218 : "Do not be fooled into thinking the zip code or locality of last residence is where the person died. They may have last resided in Patterson, Missouri, but actually died in a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In that case, you would never find a death certificate in Missouri." http://ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/review/2008/0813.html#UsingRootsWeb : "Be careful when entering information on the last residence and last benefit; they do not necessarily represent the place the individual was living at the time of death."

I was wondering if someone could help me find an obituary. I am not quite sure where to look. DIETRICH, Arthur died Feb 1969 in Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY. I got this off the social security death index. I would appreciate any help in locating an obituary for this person. Thanks in advance.
