The obituary index at the Carnegie Library has a gap from 1914 to 1962, but other options that may help you identify the exact date of death are the Register of Wills (if they had an estate probated, the date of death will probably be in the file) or the Pa. Dept. of Health, which will do a search for a death certificate (for a fee).
