Thank you so much for the information. I will try what you suggest. He has been found in Sacramento in 1890 and he worked for the railroad so maybe moved throughout the central valley, so I have leads to check out now. Again, thank you.

Hi Am not related but have mined San Joaquin County turf in past (grew up there). As far as source of obits, according to Stockton Album Through the Years (V Covert Martin), there were 3 Stockton newspapers publishing in the following time frames: Stockton Independent (1861-1939), Stockton Evening Mail (1880-1917) and the Commercial Record/Stockton Evening Record/ Stockton Record (1888-to date). Other possibilities are Sacramento and San Francisco newspapers. One useful source of abstracts is at URL: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 For the most part these are submitted by volunteers and so results may be somewhat uneven. Also for each hit, you have to open article and do a visual scan. You might also find something on Golden Nugget webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~npmelton/index.html Using “mitchel” as search criteria I got numerous hits, but again you usually have to open each to get full content. One volunteer has posted Central CA marriage extracts, URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~npmelton/sacmarr10.htm Another approach might be to look at census data. I found no indication Henry was located in San Joaquin County in 1900’s. However, this data might be useful in narrowing search criteria and developing leads based on applying some logic. For example, there are a number of widows in the 1920 CA, San Joaquin County census, ages 41-66 (YoB ~1854-1879). Henry’s obit indicates his YoB 1870. Based on mores of the time it’s likely he married a woman close to his age or younger. Some of these widows have children that might have been conceived prior to Henry’s death. Also there’s an Edith H Hara in 1910 and 1920 census’ with daughter with name Helen Mitchel (listed as step-daughter of male Head of household) who was born about 1906. 1910 census indicates this was Edith’s 3rd marriage with the most recent one consummated about a year prior; i.e., remarriage could have been after Henry’s death early in 1909. As far as public library goes, I’m not a local but have used it on occasion in the past. They have a pretty good collection of directories for that era but it means manual search. And Henry’s appearance in one would contingent on his being located in Stockton for some reasonable amount of time prior to publication.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Tom SMITH which was taken at the B. P. Batchelder's Studio in Stockton, California. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Tom likely in his 20's at the time it was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from Tom's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of this SMITH Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as that of George LINCOLN which was taken at the Spooner's Studio in Stockton, California. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with George likely in his teens at the time the photograph was taken.

Teresa "Tessi. the dockbabe" Kathleen McCoy Bernard, 48, of Mikado, MI, died in a home fire April 23, 2010. She was born in Burbank, CA, June 21, 1961 to Calvin & Emily (Elledge) McCoy Jr. She married Dennis Paul Bernard April 5, 1998, and they moved to Mikado, Michigan. Teresa was an avid bowler, a member of the Barton City Eagles Aerie #4141 Auxiliary, and a member of the American Legion of Mikado Auxiliary. She enjoyed her work as a DNR Boat launch security guard. Many on the internet know that she was a good researcher, extremely helpful to others, especially newbies, a jigsaw puzzle fan ( http://www.jigzone.com/gallery/042509E5FB.7A4457C?z=0 ) and photographer willing to stop and take the pictures that represent all that was good about where she lived, worked and played - fresh new snow, birds, sunsets, critters near the house. We know of trips to story time at the library, to the sand beach, gardening, playing in the van, exploring about the homeplace and efforts to make a driftwood garden. We all know of the dockbabe and the fun she had at the dock, out in the open air, interacting with people, a human attribute that was instantly recognized thru the net as it was in real life. We all know of the' lil luvs' and the joy shown in their fun life experiences as babes - where the simple things bring great fun and joy. We watched them grow thru the lists and we all watched Tessi move from short little one line comments to telling us about life in Michigan and of her internet ‘finds’ pertaining to family. Genealogy researchers will be able to see the spark, the life and how she reached other people by going to this link http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?aop and entering tessi , not tessie in the FROM field. Please, enjoy the wonderment of how she approached life and how she touched people she never knew face to face. Teresa is survived by her mother,a daughter Michelle McMillian, and two sisters; Patricia (Kevin) Baldwin of Mikado and Jody Lynn Best of Arizona, eight grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Her husband and two young daughters, Teresa Ona-Elizabeth Bernard, 9, and Amanda Regina-McCoy Bernard, 7. died in the fire with her .

According to Rod Cordes, chief of the Barton City Fire Department, the Mikado Township Fire Department was dispatched to 587 Kahn Drive at 5:32 a.m. The Barton City Fire Department, Greenbush Township Fire Department, Curtis Township Fire Department and Lincoln Fire Department were called for assistance. There were reports by neighbors that the family was still inside. "Apparently from what I understood it was a neighbor next door that saw the fire and called in it. I don't really know who originally (called)," he said. Cordes said there were four confirmed bodies removed from the home - two adults and two children. According to a press release from the Alcona County Sheriff Department, the home was owned by Dennis Bernard of Mikado. The names of the victims are being withheld until positive identification can be made by medical examiners. According to the release, the house was fully engulfed when the department and deputies arrived. As the blaze was being extinguished, deputies and firefighters were able to determine there were four residents of the house unaccounted for. Upon, further investigation four people were found dead in the house. Firefighters had the fire extinguished by around 8:30 a.m. and all of the departments except Mikado Township had cleared the scene by around 11:30 a.m. The remaining crews cleaned up up hot spots, Cordes said. The state fire marshal from the Michigan State Police was called in to assist in the investigation to determine the cause of the fire, Cordes said. An evidence technician from the sheriff department and the county's arson investigator also are working with the state fire marshal. At this time authorities do not believe there was foul play and autopsies are scheduled for all four victims at Spectrum Health Center in Grand Rapids, the sheriff department said. Cordes said as of 4:45 p.m. on Friday the fire's cause was undetermined. He anticipated the investigation running through the weekend. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bodies ID’d from fire June 9, 2010 The four people who lost their lives in the house fire in Mikado, Michigan on April 23 have been positively identified, according to a press release by the Alcona County Sheriff's Office. Dennis Bernard, 68, was previously identified at his autopsy. The positive identification of the other three victims could not be made until medical examiners reviewed their medical and dental records. The names of the other three victims are Teresa Kathleen Bernard, 49, Teresa Ona-Elizabeth Bernard, 9, and Amanda Regina-McCoy Bernard, 7. All of the victims lived at the residence in Mikado. The exact cause of the fire remains undetermined. Two ignition sources are being investigated; and both appear to be accidental in nature. There are no indications of foul play at this time. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and http://www.wbkb11.com/m_articles/c/357/mid/1179 ++++++++++++++++++++++

I checked the 1890 Great Register and there is no Leonard Wallace listed.

Leonard L. Wallace 35 years old, a carpenter, who was from Nova Scotia. Also listed is his wife Nellie, aged 25 who was from Ireland. A daughter Lillie A. is also listed as being 9/12, born in California. There is of course no 1890 census, and They don't seem to appear on census records after that one from 1880. The IGI has the birth of a Leonard Wallace in Oakland in 1882. And another for the birth of a Leonard L. Wallace on August 25 1881 in Oakland. His parents are listed as Leonard L. Wallace and Nellie Wheelen. There is a draft registration card for a Leonard Leland Wallace, born 25 August 1882. It lists his next of kin as a John W; Wallace in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He is living in Bethany, San Joaquin County. I think this pretty much confirms that the Leonard L. Wallace on the census is the brother of John W. Wallace of Wolfville. Does anyone have any information on this Wallace family?? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Lodi Newspaper website There is a wonderful new feature at the Lodi Sentinel newspaper website www.lodinews.com They have put their archives on the website that go back into the 1920s. You can go to the archives from the main page of the website. And it is the kind of information we are often looking for......obituaries, marriage announcements, along with social events and amateur sports results and real news. I found one relative who had paid to have his business burned down for the insurance money! I have a Black Sheep in my family......

Thanks for that further information. I think that will allow me to identify Minard Wallace.
