Go to library.public-libraries.org/county/CA/SierraCounty.html for a list of the local libraries. You might need to contact the California State Library, library.ca.gov/calhist/genealogy.html because of the age of his obituary. They will send you a list of researchers who will copy his obituary for a fee. I searched findagrave.com, interment.com and usgwtombstones.org/california/sierra.html but didn't find his grave. However, not all of the cemeteries are indexed. His burial place will be on his obituary or on his death certificate. I searched Ancestry and FamilySearch but didn't find a death record for Sarah J. I'd contact the Clerk-Recorder at sierracounty.ws/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_us... Then click on Clerk-Recorder. They will charge a fee even if they don't find her death cert. Successful Searching! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
