The name of the presiding minister at the U.A. Sanabria funeral contains a typo. The spelling should be Reverend Burton G. Randle. The obituary appears on the library site misspells the last name as "RANDALE." I personally know Burt. Incidentally, Mr. Sanabria, a Chicago-area native, is one of the inventors of television. Stations that used Sanabria equipment were on the air in Chicago in the 1920s and 1930s. Sanabria later operated the largest technical school in the U.S. In the 1950s, he manufactured and sold TV sets. My TV history page on Sanabria goes into more detail, including photos.
