- ... that George Dashnau started the first mail order delivery service that supplies human skulls?

- Hook is definitely interesting. Article is indeed created today, and is just long enough for DYK. Hook citation checks out. I will AGF on sources 4 and 6 which I couldn't access - but otherwise good to go, subject to the DYK review of Harold Forsyth being completed (I took the liberty of moving a single parenthesis).

- @SL93: Also, I understand that one George Dashnau born 1923 from Pennsylvania died in 2001. I don't have a subscription to this website, but I take it you've examined this obituary and couldn't conclude he was the same person? Juxlos (talk) 20:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- I actually don't have a subscription to that newspaper service. I took the article information for reference four from the bottom of that page which says "Newspaper Article Text (OCR)". The obituary doesn't have that option. SL93 (talk) 20:04, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Juxlos: I have just asked an editor with that subscription if they can check it. SL93 (talk) 20:21, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
