Posted on: Humboldt County, California<BR>Query Forum Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Humboldt?read=367 Surname: BLOCKBURGER, SMITH ------------------------- Searching for anything on Wiley B SMITH who in 1907 resided with his old Mexican War buddy Benjamin BLOCKBURGER in Humboldt CO CA. In 1909 Benjamin entered Old Soldiers' Home in Yountville, Napa CO CA then when he died in 1914 was buried in the Veterans' Section at the Myrtle Grove Cemetery. Because these lifelong friends chose to share a home in their old age I am hoping that by following Benjamin's trail I may find information about Wiley (who is my ancestor). Can anyone tell me the name of such an old soldiers' home and whether its records are accessible, also whether Myrtle Grove is in Napa or Humboldt? Thanks for any information. Please contact direct.
