I think looking for his obituary is a good idea but problematic because he's been gone for so long. Have you contacted the Loyalton Statation Library in Loyalton? They may not have newspapers that old and you can contact the California State Library, library.ca.gov/calhist/genealogy.html which has the largest collection of newspapers in the state. However, they don't have the staff to look up obituaries but will send you a list of local researchers who will look one up for a fee. There's a possibility that he's burial place might be on his death certificate (it's not alwayas listed in an obituary either). Again there might not be a death certificate either because of the fairly early date when he died. If you decide to go this route, contact the Sierra County Clerk-Recorder, sierracounty.ws/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user... Successful Searching!

Author: elizabeee Surnames: Merritt, Harper, Thurston, VanWindle Classification: cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.california.counties.sierra/653/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Plumas County CAGenWeb Coordinator, Eliza Bullard, is seeking anyone that may know the precise locations of the Pine Grove graves, near LaPorte, and the Flume Camp grave of L. H. Merritt, also near LaPorte. Both burial places most probably are part of Sierra County, but are associated with LaPorte in old records. Specifically, Eliza is seeking latitude/longitude of those grave locations, as well as digital photographs of any grave marker that may exist at those locations. The Pine Grove graves (3 known ones for John Harper, Maria Thurston and Eleanora VanWindle) are supposed to be located approximately 7 miles northeast of LaPorte, on the east side of Table Rock Road. The Flume Camp grave is supposed to be located 6 miles southeast of LaPorte, on what has been referred to in the past as Happy Hollow Road. If you know anything about these graves, please contact Eliza at elizabw.ca(AT)gmail.com. Replace the (AT) in the email address with an @ symbol.

Author: drpatmoon Surnames: THOMAS HINES Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.california.counties.sierra/651/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for information on my gg grandfather THOMAS HINES (b. Ireland @1826) who traveled from Ohio to California in the early 1850's as a speculator in search of gold perhaps. I am not sure where in California he may have traveled; the only information I have been able to track down on him is that he is on the 1852 California Census living in Sierra. He left California somewhere around 1854 or so since he had his second child back in Ohio in 1855. So the time he spent in California would have been probably between 1849 and 1854. Any information anyone could provide or any recommendations on where I should search next would be most appreciated. Thank you!

He was born in 1878 in San Francisco. He moved around a lot, but he seems to have settled in Sierra county in the 30's (Calpine) and then Loyalton in the 1940's. He worked all his life as a saw filer. I suspect that he died in Loyalton, but I cannot find him in the California death records. The last "sighting" I have for him is the 1944 voter registration, where he and his wife Laura were registered voters in Loyalton. He also filled out his WWII draft registration in 1942 in Loyalton. I don't know how many cemetaries are in Loyalton, but I would appreciate it if anyone local could check and see if he is buried there.
