A 104-year-old Milwaukee photographer who survived the Armenian Genocide, shot photos of President Franklin Roosevelt and saw Babe Ruth play at Yankee Stadium has died, in Wisconsin, U.S.
B. Artin Haig died Monday of natural causes at St. John's on the Lake where he lived, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
