I didn't seem to find anything. Where did you get the listing? Did it give the page?

I am looking for a death notice or obit which was in the San Francisco Call. It was for Peleg Thomas, who died in San Francisco 12 December 1901 I saw a listing that this information should be in that paper. I think this is my gggrandfather, but the problem is that his wife, Margaret Ann Bales (Thomas) is listed as a widow (or divorcee?) in 1880 in Oregon. He was born abt. 1835 in New York, the son of Gorton Tallman Thomas and Minerva Cook, moved to Kansas about 1850, where he was married and had two children, George Herbert and Percy. I'm hoping that the article I saw listed about his death will clarify if this is who I am looking for, and will validate my information. Buried In the San Francisco National Cemetery, San Francisco, California. d. 12 December 1891, Captain D 11 Kansas Cavalry. PLOT: West 401 Film Number M542 roll 9 Another possibility is that this Peleg Thomas is the brother of George Henry Thomas, the famous Civil War General.--but if so, I can't figure out why he was in Kansas! If you can find this article I would be so grateful! Please let me know if you have any expenses which need to be reimbursed, and I will send a check off immediately. I would love to surprise my 85-year-old mother at Christmas with some new information.
