You will need to know the day of death, or day of burial. Or you can try the Reading Eagle archives that is still on line http://news.google.com/newspapers Choose the Reading Eagle and once there type in the year to search and choose the month. If you don't have a date of death you may have to search every issue in January of that year (1972), but if you really want to find the obituary it's a small price to pay.
