If so, that is a reasonable assumption. It would probably would be sent to NY, and that may have been the notation to tell the editor why it was sent. It is possible that the SF paper would have telegraphed the obit to NY. I am surprised that there is no mention of New York in the obit, however, but they "did do things differently in those days" . Now, if this was a part of the obituary after it was published in whatever paper published it, I have no idea what it meant, unless the newspaper staff sent the papers to New York and expected them to notice! It's not like they had Reuters or AP.
