Jacqui, There was a newspaper in Redwood City during that time frame, Redwood City Tribune, that seems to have contained obits from local folks. The San Mateo Genealogical Society has those obits - several years ago I purchased from them a 1962 & 1969 obit. Microfilm of the Tribune is available at the San Mateo Library (I haven't been there since the remodeling/rebuilding started). I would also assume that the Redwood City Library has the film - they are a much bigger library.
