I would (1) search the web and (2) ask a lawyer friend or a law library to search the case law online for his name. He has a relatively uncommon name and you may be able to pinpoint his practice location and dates by publications that mention him as an advocate. I have had poor success with Bar Association records. The courts often handled admissions directly in that era, most states had no bar associations.
