The Star Tribune's
obituary on Dr. Frank Peterson holds the same style as the New York Time's obituary style however, the order of information presented is different.
The lead shows a notable trait or quality about the person but in this article the next paragraph goes more in depth about the lead. Normally the second paragraph tells when and how the person died and his/her age. This information is not given until the fourth paragraph which is unusual.
The second and third paragraphs relayed what Dr. Frank Peterson accomplished in life. He opened his first practice in 1963 and specialized in internal medicine and plumonary disease.
The fifth paragraph begins the chronology of Dr. Frank Peterson's life, as would normally be the format. Followed by who he is preceded by.
The sources used were a former colleague, his wife and granddaughter.
The obituary differs from a resume only slightly with the quotes from the colleague and his wife. The majority of the obituary is just a summary of chronological events of Dr. Frank Peterson's life. However within the chronological events was information about his personality and quirks that a person would not find in an obituary, only through family and friends.
