I was looking at the daily index of the death at Mountain View Cemetery. I found the death of Anna M. SIEGRIST, and her 4 month old infant. Who died of Shock of a Fireworks Explosion. They were buried in the same casket. So I looked at the Oakland Tribune of July 5, 1907 to see what had happened found the story but her name is listed as Anna RIGLEY. Her husband is listed a Henry RIGLEY. Even the death notice the next day gives the same last name. I have also checked the San Francisco Call, Examiner and the Chronicle, all three cover the story, and state her name as RIGLEY. Checked the California Death Index, and they are listed as SIEGRIST, Anna and a unnamed infant. So what is going on? By the way, what had happened was a mortar exploded and she was hit by a piece of metal, in the heart, and the infant, arm was tore off.

Would like to thank everyone. I found what I think was her husband, in the 1907 Oakland Directory, listed as Henry RIGLEY. So looks like on Monday, I will have to check the marriage index at the Alameda County Recorder's Office.
