So I've done some poking around and found a few nice things. To start with, here is the notice of the Chofetz Chaim's funeral (11/19/33):

Nothing more than a blurb, but the following day they ran a tribute headed The Jewish Gandhi (!), which is quite an interesting read:

Finally, here's an interesting image from the funeral itself - note from the newspaper! (click to enlarge for detail).
