Posted on: Stanislaus County, Ca Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Stanislaus/11247 Surname: ------------------------- Hello, Paula - I drove to LaGrange today because I could not find out any information regarding your request. I stopped by the Lakewood Cemetery, but they said your aunt was not buried there. I may have given them the wrong first name, but will call them on Monday for further information. They did not have a Francis Emil Hinton listed either, but as you said, he died in Monterey County. The LaGrange Museum was open today, quite a nice museum, and a great study of the cultures (Indian, Chinese, Mexican and other prospectors), many artifacts discovered in the basement of the original buildings, and much memorabilia donated by local residents. None of them knew the name Hinton, but recommended I go to the Realty office. So I walked the block down the street to the Lake Don Pedro Realty, they gave me a map of the Lake Don Pedro area and showed me where Torre Road was and how to get there. They also gave me a couple of the newsletters they publish, and what appeared on the third page, but an ad for THE ROSE RANCH, Specialty Nursery. Opens beginning May 12, 10 am to 4 pm weekends only. Featuring Antique Roses, David Austin Roses, Unique Modern Roses, Climbers, Shrubs. 2877 Torre Dr, LaGrange, CA 95329 Mailing address: P O Box 326, LaGrange, CA 95329 Telephone: (209) 852-9220 Perhaps this information will yield you more information on your aunt.
