Hello, The Mariposa High School Senior Play of 1931 led me to an interest in Lucy Alsanson CUDDY who was a native of Mariposa, and wrote the play. I've obtained more information about her from Thomas HILK, since they are related, and more recently from a request to the San Francisco Public Library. According to the California Death Index, she died on August 26, 1942 in San Francisco County at the age of 66, and that matches the notice in the paper, which adds a bit more information. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Death notice from the San Francisco Chronicle August 28, 1942: CUDDY--In this city, August 26, 1942, Lucy Alsanson Cuddy, wife of John Cuddy; a native of Mariposa, Cal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The CADI indicates she was born January 2, 1876, in California, that her mother's maiden name was COUNTS and her father's last name ALSANSON, which she also used as her middle name after her marriage to John CUDDY. Mr. Hilk's Web site has more information on the family: http://www.elite.net/~paulette/fam00266.htm Happy Thanksgiving! Judy Jastram
