Box 1493 Eldridge, CA 95431 Attn: Clinical Records - Sharon Tel: (707) 938-6408 There should be a burial permit on file in the county of burial that would give details on the death if the cemetery can't provide you with an actual date of death if the death occurred after July 1905 then it might appear in the CA death index .....lots of records have been filmed by the LDS church; have you done a search of Fresno burial records that might have been filmed......http://www.familysearch.org/ Family History Library System is the link Here are the San Joaquin ones.....

She had been an epileptic, and was institutionalized for insanity in Stockton, where she died. She had been living near Lemoore, and is buried in Fresno county at the Washington Colony Cemetery. We have no information about the name of the sanitarium or institution in which she lived, nor about her parents. She was born in Scotland (we beleive her father was Daniel or David Kennedy) in 1861. We are hoping that hospital records will have some information about her family. Can anyone tell me which hospital(s) she might have been in? How I might get copies of any records?
Hi... working with Sonoma now.. say they don't have Stockton State Hosp records.. One nice person there is looking for a ledger for those who were moved from the Stockton State Hospital cemetery in 1925-26.. have not heard back yet. I have not been able to find anyone with copies of these records. Many (most probably) of the records of those who died are in the actual medical files. You should be able to get these.. except I can't find which branch of the State has them. Marge
