I checked Fresno Morning Republican for Albert in 1925 but nothing in deaths or funeral announcements for him. Also checked the Fresno Bee with same negative results. Also checked Fresno Morning Republican for Sidney in 1928, and this time there was something there! Identical article in Fresno Bee, so I didn't copy it. For George Young - 1952 - found obituary but nothing in Deaths. For his brother, John, in 1953, got an obituary from Fresno Bee.but nothing in Deaths. For Grace in 1958, nothing in Funerals, deaths or obituaries.

Hello, We are trying to find information about Robert G. Reed who died 10 March 1990, last residence in Kingsburg. We think his mother was Lillian Reed and his sister was Dorothy Reed (they are together in 1930 Census in Burlingame, San Mateo Co., Ca.). If you know of the Reed's or if you can suggest online Kingsburg Directories, or any resource that would show them in Kingsburg, please respond.

So sorry, I checked the Fresno Republican (only one for that time frame) and nothing showed up-too bad he wasn't H. P. HEDGES - there are at least 5 articles on his death. I even tried to squint through the Personal Mention Local Brevities columns (typeface is about -4 <G>) but could not see anything there either.
