to Mark in TX mailto:tinman@moment.net I have copied the material requested for you and will be mailing it to you shortly. Meanwhile, here are some highlights .... William Bibb DENNETT died at age 94 in Los Angeles on May 26, 1919. Since he was in the Fresno area at one time, I tried to discover an obituary for him in the Fresno Republican (the only paper covering that time period in the CA Room) but I had no luck on that. A book of Fresno Cemeteries gave me the information that his wife, Caroline (Carrie) M. DENNETT, was born in 1837 and she is buried in Mt. View Cemetery with the listing 1901-1920 - however, I could not find her listed in the CADI for 1920 at all and searching the entire year for her potential death notice in the Fresno papers would be an awesome task. I do not know exactly what 1901-1920 means, but you might want to contact the Mt. View Cemetery and see what they could provide you with on this. Unfortunately, the book you requested material from - Fresno, The Pioneer Years to 1900 - is for the most part a 'laundry list' of names, William's being in this category, the page you asked for (page 141) which I copied, merely says "W. B. DENNETT, city clerk and assessor" in 1885... I have also copied some census records that may be of help and am mailing them as well to you. In 1870 William was age 40 born in Alabama and Caroline M. was age 32 born in Mass. In 1880 William was age 50 born AL parents AL AL Caroline age 42 born AL parents GA? AL and servant Emma WEBBER age 14 born NEV was living with them Sandra
