Mary: I found no marriage record for Albert Johnson and Burnetta Rentfrow in Monterey County Index to Marriage Licenses 1, 1893 - 1906; nor did I find one in Index to Marriage Licenses 2, 1906 - 1923. In this second index, I found a marriage for an Albert Johnson to someone else: Johnson, Albert to Rogers, Annie; Date of License 29 November 1913; Date of Marriage 1 December 1913; Book 8, p. 173. Here is a transcription of the death certificate for Albert Johnson, from the San Benito County records. I have put the paper copy of this in the mail to you. --Sheila P. +++++++++++ DEATH CERTIFICATE Source: San Benito County Recorder; microfilmed records.
