Dear List, I am seeking contact info on descendants of  the above listed couple .  Marcella was from Oklahoma and was a friend of my Mother (1906 OK-1964 OK ).  In my Mother's scrapbook, there are pictures of Marcella and  her wedding invitation  to Cameron H. Duncan.  This marriage was held on Wednesday Sept. 8, 1926 in Glendale, CA .  I would like to return these to this family, if possible. Many Thanks, Judy in TX

Lentz- March 23, Albert Lentz, aged 79 years beloved husband o Minnie Lentz. Funeral 2 p.m. Saturday, from the chapel of J. H. Riedeman, 1618 South Main. Interment, Inglewood Park Cemetery. It looks like it reads March 23 instead of 29. Hope this helps

I am looking for more information on Albert Lentz. He died on 29 March 1921 in Los Angeles. I'd really like to get a copy of his obituary, if anyone has any suggestions. And what happened to Minnie? Dates and other information on the various censuses and in some family trees is quite confusing. -- Aaron Hill

Thanks for the idea - my person is buried in that huge cemetery there and had lived there since 1942 so doubt there would be an obit in OKC. Have you checked on FindAGrave - there are often obits on it. Linda On Mar 22, 2014, at 3:58 PM, Joy Fisher wrote: > Don't know.

Don't know. I often have better luck finding an obit in the deceased home town than in LA newspapers. Many folks were sent back to be buried.

Someone told me you can also get one at the county level for less money but I did not try that as I already had one from the state for my biological mother.

Yeah - you need to go into your local branch and have them renew it. It only takes a minute or so.

It sometimes takes as long as a year to get a document from the State. Counties are easier. Sometimes you need too much documentation to get Certs from L.A. County, that's why I asked for a transcription from someone that goes to the records office.

Pam, Have you ordered death certificates from CA? The one I ordered was quite helpful although I am still looking for that elusive obit.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on finding obits. These 2 individuals are not on Find A Grave (already checked). Not sure if the library closest to me has Pro Quest. I do not know where they lived - other than according to the CA Death Index they died in Los Angeles. The two people I am trying to find obits for are as follows: 1. Robert Knox Pierson - D/O/D - 12-17-1949 - Los Angeles 2. Katherine Elizabeth (Evans) Boyle - D/O/D - 1-26-1952 - Los Angeles (Katherine was the mother of the well known writer and novelist Kay Boyle!) I do understand that one needs to know where a person lived to write to that library - but I do not have that info, and thus my confusion about where to write to for the info. Los Angeles seems to be quite difficult in that respect. Usually one writes to a local genealogy society for help in getting obits...but that doesn't seem to be the case in Los Angeles? Not that easy. I tried looking in City Directories as well-couldn't find them..but I believe both of them may have been living with other relatives. Thank you for any help! Pam
