Am checking my photographs, now. I have been photographing Pine Grove Cemetery, Nevada City. Have found a large plot containing 6 Sandow's. They are in the "old" Odd Fellows Cemetery portion of Pine Grove Cemetery. This portion is located next to Park St. where it intersects with Red Dog Road. This is an easy search for me, since I live just up the road. Elmer Sam Polglase, 1905 - 1962 is buried in the New Odd Fellows Cemetery, across the street from the Pine Grove Cemetery on Red Dog Road in Nevada City. His mother, Mary Ann Polglase, 1867 - 1955 is also buried at the New Odd Fellows Cemetery. Another thing, I am past president of the Empire Mine Park Assoc. and get further information on Elmer when he worked at the Empire.
