Last weekend, I visited the Sacramento, CA, City Cemetary and noticed a headstone which said: MANUEL DUBOIS DIED APRIL 24, 1897 AGE 68 If this is of any interest to you, I can go back and see nice Mr. Bettancourt, the historian. who may know more. I am not a DuBose, but enjoy monitoring this list, because you have some excellent contributors. H. Frost Prioleau Piedmont, CA hf@prioleau.com
