Removed "W" as middle name. My grandfather did not have an English or Hebrew middle name.

As far as I know, the "W" was possibly a made up initial in order to differentiate himself from the other Hyman Katz from Marinette Wisconsin, who passed away in the 1920's

Hi Hasha
Wisconsin, U.S., Death Index, 1959-1997, gives him as HYMAN W. KATZ.
I can send an image. What's your email?

You know Mr. Katz better than I. Do whatever you think. Maybe it was legally W,, but he didn't use it.

Adding back the "W." on the basis of the newspaper obituary. I still maintain it was a fictional middle initial. He only had one Hebrew name Chaim.
