I'd found the newspaper snippet re. 90th birthday but unable to view (subscription required) and the 1910 Census - 1920 Census drew a blank.

This was the previous thread where that information was found. Reply 1 showed the newspaper articles found by RJ137

Thank you RJ137, Sandra and hanes teulu for all your help. I have gone through everything you have suggested again but his death data still eludes me.  However, I will contact the South Side Cemetery re burial with his first wife Sarah, as they were most helpful some years ago when I was in the same situation regarding John Batten's sister Elizabeth Jane Breach(also ex NZ) who is buried in the same Cemetery.
Keep Covid 19 free, all of you. Faith

Hi Sandra, I'm  only too happy to keep you informed of any developments re contact with Southside Cemetery. I've checked on my other contact with them and it was in March 2010. Unfortunately I didn't keep the reply so cannot determine where it actually came from in the end.
 However, I had a receipt for US $5 from Carnegie Library of PGH 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213408  4126223104  stapled to the copy of the Death Certificate (I remember sending this lonely little note) which looks as though it was off a website??? On the back of the Death Registration written in handwriting, was Pittsburgh Death Registration, 1870-1905 Vol. 71:513 (not in my handwriting).
New Year Greetings and keep well. Faith

Me again Sandra, While typing my reply to you I thought of doing some checking myself to cover all the Deaths but nothing came to light. He did live in Michigan for a while ......... but at that age I can hardly see him living on his own again.
