Mary died in May of 1945 and I would love to have a copy of her obit. There should be some sort of write-up about her in the newspaper, too, as she worked for years for the county and was active in several organizations including the Quota Club. Lyle died on March 31, 1953 in Lawton, OK, but is buried in Fresno. I would like his obit, too. Also, the obit of their daughter, Evelyn Rozilla Sandell Stump who was buried on April 19, 1953 in Fresno. Thank you very much.
