I am trying to find an obit/burial place for Blair Gessling. He was married to Irene Lambert. Was last known to be living in Niagara Falls NY during the 1950's but it is possible he died in Defiance Ohio.

At this site: http://www.fultonhistory.com/fulton.html
there are quite a few news items concerning him, even a summary of his will.
