Tom/Jean, Was that the San Mateo Public Library? I'm not familiar with a Pueblo Library, but so many are undergoing remodeling anything is possible. Skylawn Memorial Park is located at Highway 92 and Skyline Boulevard. The mailing address is San Mateo. Perhaps their website will give you additional information. http://www.skylawn.com/san_mateo/contact.html A quick search with google shows that The Sequoias is a Retirement Community in Portola Valley on Portola Road. From a 1996 article from The Los Altos Town Crier - Nestled among 42 acres of trees and wildlife in Portola Valley is a community that offers its residents life-long heath care, catered meals and the freedom to do whatever they want. The only condition to live in this community is that a resident has to be 65 years or older. The Sequoias of Portola Valley is a retirement home community for older adults who like the outdoors. The 235 apartments range in size from a studio unit, starting at $40,000, to the "duplex" unit with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, starting at $250,000. The prices were probably lower in 1978. The Times - is not the Los Angeles Times - in 1978 it is The San Mateo Times. Currently it is The San Mateo County Times.

Elliott Obituary Hi! I received an obituary for Nixon C. Elliott through the mail from the San Mateo Pueblo Library. They were fast! I have several questions about this obituary. "NIXON CASH ELLIOTT. Funeral services for Nixon Cash Elliott, 91, a former San Mateo real estate broker, will be held Monday at 10 a.m. at the Crosby-N. Gray & Co. mortuary in Burlingame. Elliott died in the The Sequoias in Portola Valley Tuesday. He was a native of Colorado, and had been an engineer for the Kaiser Ship Building Corp. in World War II and a veteran of the Navy in World War I. Surviving are a son, Nixon C. Elliott Jr. of Hillsborough; a daughter, Marion E. Howell of Fort Myers, Fla.; eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. The Rev. Lesley Wilder will officiate at the services. Private interment will be in Skylawn Memorial Park. Contributions to the St. Matthew's Day School in San Mateo are suggested." Obituary for Nixon Cash Elliott, "The Times," San Mateo, San Mateo County, California, Saturday, May 13, 1978 My questions are as follows: 1. The newspaper on this page was called "The Times." Is this really the Los Angeles Times, but just a version or a section for the San Mateo area? 2. What is "The Sequoias?" 3. What small community is Skylawn Memorial Park in? The SSDI states that his last known address was in Menlo Park. Is that where Skylawn is? 4. From my understanding, there are a number of smaller cemeteries clustered together that form Skylawn Memorial Park. Is my understanding correct? 5. Is there a transcription of graves at Skylawn? Thanks for any help! - Jean Griesan Colorado
