Buried in Arcata would mean the Greenwood Cemetery. (D=T=C). This information from page 191, Humboldt County, California Death Records. Abstracts of Books 1 & 2. Compiled by Marilyn Keach Milota, January, 1993. Note: Marilyn has another book, covering 1911 to 1920, of obituaries. It would appear that no obit was in the local newspapers, and her source was the Death Certificate alone.
