I have a patron who is looking for information (specifically an obituary or at least a death date) for a notable sculptor named Alvin (William Carl) Meyer. He seems to have done most of his work around Chicago but there is some listings of work in Maryland. He does not appear in ULAN, Benezit (76), the Chicago Tribune index or a number of other resources. The only found resources that mention him are Mantle Fielding's Dictionary of American Painters, Sculptors & Engravers and Who Was Who In American Art (2nd ed.). The latter gives the year 1972 for the year he died, but not a specific date. His birth date seems to be 31 Dec 1892; however, on the Maryland State Archives Peabody Art Collections web page they list the year 1891.
Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
