    1. Nixon C. Elliott Obituary
    2. Tom Griesan
    3. 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
