I posted the obituary on Ettie Lowe as part of research I was helping someone with on Robert Ollenberger. The archives of the Stanislaus mailing list can't currently be searched but it's possible that other correspondance I had with the requester is in the archives. If you would like to take a look yourself, here's the URL http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl the name of the list to be searched is CASTANIS-L and the year would be 1999. It's possible I also posted the information to the NORCAL-L list also......
