Analee, >From 1983 to 2006 (2007 is being worked on) the obits from the Bakersfield Californian are indexed and kept in a filing cabinet in the Beale Library's Genealogy Room. If you are not able to come to Bakersfield for yourself, I can get a copy for you and send it to you in email.

(John Wesley) GRAHAM who died on November 8, 1999 in either Kern or Tulare County California (he lived in Oildale for sometime) and is buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Bakersfield? He was born April 18, 1922, and his wife was Rosie Oleta (maiden name unknown) GRAHAM. He was a cousin of my grandfather, Walter L. WATTS. Thank you in advance to whomever can help, I live in Delano and don't know where I would be able to find the obit/am rarely able to get to Bakersfield, so it is very much appreciated. **************Start the year off right.
