Several weeks ago, I posted to this list a query seeking information on the death of my g-grandfather. I received several responses with some very good suggestions, which I am still pursuing, and I thank all who responded again for the help. One of those suggestions led me to the San Francisco Library, where I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of his obituary dated 1 May 1934 from the SF Examiner. As you might expect, that answered a few questions, some of which I have been chasing for a few years now, but oddly enough his obit only ENLARGED the question of where he is buried. According to his obit, his funeral was handled ". . .by Grays, Divisidero street at Post with interment private." As someone born and raised in the SF Bay Area (actually, Santa Clara County) I recognize the two street names and assume that means "Grays" was a funeral home located on that corner. However, I take the last few words "interment private" to mean just that, and in view of the fact that he was a ship's captain and spent his life at sea, I have reason to think he was buried at sea, but I do not want to guess. Am I providing enough clues for someone to be able to give me a bit more direction, and possibly be able to confirm his burial at sea or else where he may have been laid to rest? On that note, be aware he was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia so that is a possibility because most of his ancestors are from there and he was married (the first time) there. However, he migrated to the Astoria, Oregon area and spent a very major portion of his career there, including a second marriage and naturalization as a U. S. citizen, so that is also a possibility. He is found in the 1930 Federal Census, however, living in San Francisco with his daughter and her husband, and still working as a sea captain at the age of 75. So. . .in a few words, my guess is that he may have been buried in San Francisco or Astoria, Oregon, but both are just that, a guess. The obituary answered a few questions, but also open up another one, of where he was buried. If any of you experts out there have any clues in where to look next, I welcome any suggestions large or small. I thank you in advance for anything you are able to share with me. David E.
