Margaret Truman, the only child of former President Harry S. Truman who became a concert singer, actress, radio and TV personality and mystery writer, died Tuesday. She was 83.
Truman, known as Margaret Truman Daniel in private life, died at a Chicago assisted living facility following a brief illness, according to a statement from the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence. She had been at the facility for the past several weeks and was on a respirator, the library said.
…
She and Daniel had four sons; he died in February 2000. Son William died in September 2000 when he was hit by a taxi; he was 41.
She was honorary co-chair of the Harry S. Truman Library Institute, the nonprofit partner of her father's presidential library, and a governing board member of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. Health issues had prevented her from visiting the library in recent years, but she remained actively interested in its operations, said Michael Devine, director of the library.

It would be informative if the person who wrote the article on the death of Harry Truman's daughter would please research what President Truman's middle name was. You would think that an editor for a newspaper in the nation's capitol would know the president's middle name (or lack of same) and correct the writer's article.

You're kidding right?
A woman dies and all you're concerned about is if the editor of a newspaper researched Harry S. Truman's middle name?
Sorry, but that's just asinine, especially since the S. didn't stand for anything. Why research it?
