I found that in the CA death index for 1940-on. There was also a listing in the death index for a Ruth Mae Lamb, b. 1901-10-18, mother name-Coltrane, fathers name-Ellis, born-KS, died-SacramentoCo on 1986-01-18. I thought that must have been a sister to Gladys(?). I just now checked another way and found this: MONNEY GLADYS 1899-08-09 FEMALE WI ALAMEDA 1977-05-28 547187196 age- 77 Once again, there are no mothers/fathers names given with this one, unfortunately. The last name is much closer to what you had, but, the birth state is wrong again. Let me know if you need any variations checked, I'd be happy to check for you.

I haven't a record of a G.D. Nicholas. However, it's likely that this Nicholas was also in the vicinity at that date; he was married and his son was born there in 1899. There is a potential family connection, but none I can presently verify. Please contact me again if you discover this name among your connections. Thank you, once more. Warm Regards, Devon Gray

I really appreciate the information. This has been an extremely elusive family, (surnames Cuppy, Roberts, Rose, Sears). Throughout the late 1800s, and into the early part of last century, they roamed throughout the west (California, Oregon, Montana, Idaho). They worked in mining camps, boarding houses, etc, and were quite transient. I remember as a child visiting "Uncle Frank and Aunt Elise" for a day or so during a vacation. I remember them living in an area that was quite rocky, and of Frank telling how his parents had homesteaded and built a house of rock. I remember he said the house was in the path of a new highway, and was destroyed. Frank returned to California and obtained the same property, or property near to where his parents homesteaded. Not long ago I found Bertie's marriage license in Shasta County. Let me know if you come across any additional information. I will begin working this family line and see what I can find around Sisson. Thanks again, so very much. Anne

Greetings, I received a query this morning asking why I had posted my most recent message (about the idea of grazing sheep in Pacheco Cemetery as a method to clearing the grounds) to a certain county's list. With the thought that others might have the same question, it occurred to me I should share the following thought. The genealogy mailing lists provide a good way to communicate what is occurring to our precious and valuable historic cemeteries in California. California Saving Graves (CSG) is working very hard to try to bring some respect and protection to these places, many of which are presently endangered or are to a point where abuse and neglect are threatening their very removal. The information contained on gravestones in these cemeteries are invaluable genealogical research tools. The value of the information that the people now "residing" in our California cemeteries is priceless and irreplaceable. Many rest within them for which no marker locates the grave and descendants are left to wonder what happen to them. It is a strangely unique feeling to go to a cemetery to encounter the gravestone of an ancestor for the first time. That feeling is akin to tying the knot that binds us with that ancestor. The gravestone may be the only tangible proof of an ancestor's very existence. Oftentimes cemeteries are the only true links the past many will acquire. In including the genealogy mailing lists, CSG is hoping to engender support for others with cemetery problems. The more people that politicians and lawmakers know are watching these situations, the better the chances are to get them to make the right moves to assist those cemeteries in jeopardy. The Internet and Email gives we, the people, more power to observe and participate in events that affect us in our daily lives and to let our presence and voice be known. We hope you will not only agree that knowing what is going on at the historic cemeteries within California is a valuable service, but will appreciate the chance to be a part of the "cure." In closing, the legal title to the vast majority of the historic cemeteries of our state's earliest communities vested in the public through operation of an 1872 statute known as Political Code Section 3105; excluding, of course, those belonging to religious entities and fraternal associations by recorded deeds. We the people (the public) have the right to defend our title to those places so they do not become abused by counties which ignore the public's legal interest or allow them to fall prey to private cemetery corporations which will undoubtedly (as already has happened many times) take advantage of the fact there are no historic records or maps of all of the burials, especially the unmarked older graves. In those instances, old used graves are being resold for current and future use. We hope you will agree. Sincerely, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ca/state/ A 4th Generation Californian with roots (and ancestors buried) in: Alameda (Oakland), Amador (Drytown, Forest Home, Jackson), Contra Costa (Pacheco), El Dorado (Drytown, Pilot Hill), Imperial (Brawley, Calexico, El Centro) Los Angeles (Burbank), Riverside (Fontana), Sacramento (Sacramento City), San Bernardino (San Bernardino City), San Diego (Pt.
