Excerpt:

Lopez began her researches of Franklin's documents at Yale University with secretarial-type work and increased to a major editor's job. Her son, Larry Lopez, states she had Alzheimer's disease and passed away Friday at her New Haven home. Lopez invested years dealing with The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, a job at the university to gather, edit and release Franklin's writings. She concentrated on the American founding dad 's private life, and wrote a handful of books about him. Previous Yale colleague Jonathan Dull ranks Lopez as one of the 20th century's excellent Franklin scholars. She likewise helped found a Philadelphia-based network of individuals thinking about Franklin's life.
