There is a death certificate in the Washington Death Index (Ancestry) for Lydia HERT. She died at Toppenish 6 October 1952. b. about 1875. Death certificate is number 18854. I would check to see if you can get a copy of the death certificate. This information usually has the parents names on it. But the information is only as good and accurate as the person giving it at the time of death. You might also check the SOAR website at AHSGR.org to see if you can turn up an obituary.
