A Pennsylvania death certificate costs $3.00 if you know when the person
died. If you don't, they will search up to 10 years for a cost of $28.00,
with increments of $25.00 for an additional 10 years. You need a form to
fill out. The address is:
Pennsylvania Dept of Health
Division of Vital Records
P.O. Box 1528

The Scranton newspapers in existence at the time are the Scranton

The Scranton State Hospital, Mercy Hospital and Hahnemann Hospital all had
nursing schools. Both the Mercy and Hahnemann (now CMC) are still in
existence. Perhaps they could help you.

Happy hunting.
