MUNSEY, Frank Andrew

Arizona State Miner (Wickenburg) Saturday, January 2, 1926, p 1 c 4 President Coolidge paid tribute to Frank A. Munsey, publisher of the New York Sun, whose death occurred last week, in a telegram sent to William T. Dewart, general manager of the Sun. "The death of Frank A. Munsey has taken one of the outstanding publishers of our time," he said. "He started as a poor boy in Maine. Through energy and an indomitable will to succeed, typical of our true American spirit, he conquered all obstacles in his path. As an editor, he reached a position of influence in the country. His support of measures appealing to his judgment was strong and unfaltering. "Mr Munsey was a member of the commission appointed by me to arrange for the celebration of the birth of George Washington. The swiftness of his passing has been the more of a shock for very recently he was a guest at a cabinet dinner." [dod 22 Dec 1925; cod burst appendix]
