Osann's cartoons appeared in Collier's as early as 1950. If that was the year she graduated from Hunter College, and presumably turned 22, then she would be 83 this year. I ask wiki editors who live in Orlando to search the back issues of their local newspaper to see if it ever printed Osann's obituary. It might be easier if editors who are alumni of Hunter to ask their alumni association. And perhaps editors who are memebers of Phi Beta Kappa can ask their association.Ftfrk61 (talk) 13:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Info from a mailing list, so it might not be fit for citing. Looks like she died in 1996:
Since the Wikipedia page is essentially correct (as shown at various places on a Google Book and Newspaper search),
Kate Osann was married to William O. Chessman and probably kept his name. So if that is the name she kept until she died,
there is a Social Security Death index entry for a Katherine O Chessman who was born on May 20, 1921 and died on Jul 12, 1996
which might be her. I couldn't find an obituary , but the dates would fit a cartoonist who worked from the 1950s
until at least 1974. Other articles have her born in St. Louis and that her husband was "a prominent art director in New York City".
Also he was the editorial production director of Crowell-Colliers in 1956, which is where Tizzy first appeared.
