I'm looking for death dates on two people. August Peterson and his wife are in the 1930 around the south county and had been in the years before that. The men in the family were mostly working in the lumber industry near the seaport, I think. The weird thing is August, born about 1860 is always spelled August...he was born in Sweden but his wife is Paulina/Pauline/Perlina/Pelina and she was born in Holland. Her name is never spelled the same way twice. I'm sure they are in Los Angeles County and I think they died 1930-1939. I had to let Vitalsearch lapse so am unable to access that index. Thanks to anyone who tackles this one...but I need the date, especially for Paulina. EdrieAnne

[from Local Paragraphs column] -- The lifeless body of Ambrose PLANT was found on the S.P. railroad track near Poso station, Sunday morning, death being caused by an accident, according to the report of a Coroner's jury, but subsequently Robert GILLESPIE, who runs the pumps for the S.P.

The Fullerton 'Tribune' of the 25th ult. says: "Our community was very much saddened last Monday morning when it was announced that Mrs. BEATTY had died the evening before, leaving a sweet little baby only a few days old. She was born at Haywards, Cal., married June 23, 1891, and shortly after came to this county, living on the Olinda ranch, of which her husband was manager. Some 3 months ago they moved to Fullerton.

The interment was in Anaheim cemetery." ------------------------------------------------------- A CHINA WEDDING -- Mr.&Mrs. H.H. FISHER Received a Surprise Party Last Saturday -- [Communicated] On the 1st of February, 20 years ago, Hank FISHER or "Happy Hank" (as his friends sometimes call him) was married; and for fear he should forget it, a number of his friends called around to remind him of it. Was he surprised? you ask; well, I think so, for he was just enjoying a warm bath, before going to bed, when the folks began to arrive. But it did not take him long to dress and make his appearance, and in a few minutes, with his good wife, he was welcoming his friends and receiving congratulations. As soon as the first greetings were over, the company settled themselves to enjoy a cozy evening with mine host and hostess. A number of presents were brought, some very fine dishes being included, and these were passed around to be examined and admired. Games of various sorts were indulged in, crokinole seeming to be the favorite, and even the children got together and had a right good time. What with games, jokes, story telling, laughter, etc., the evening wore on, and as the next day was Sunday, they sat down to supper by 11 o'clock, so the festivities would be over by midnight. Everyone brought something good to eat -- sandwiches, cheese, chicken, pickles, pie and cakes, some of the latter being simply "out of sight." Hot tea and coffee were made and a splendid supper was enjoyed. About 12 o'clock the guests began to depart, after again shaking hands with their host and hostess. Among those who were present, numbering about 50, we noticed the following: Mr.&Mrs. A.V. TAYLOR Mr.&Mrs. J.H. DOPKINS Mr.&Mrs. A.M. STONE Mr.&Mrs. J.J. CURTNER Mr.&Mrs. J.B. NEWPORT Mr.&Mrs. H.L.

EDDY ------------------------------------------------------- RELICS OF OLD SLAVE DAYS -- Exeter 'Penney Press' -- A.Y. HINDS had an agreeable surprise last week -- the pleasure of seeing Aunt Judy, one of his father's old slaves. Aunt Judy is over 70 years of age, and is on a visit at her nephew's, Wiley HINDS, who lives near Farmersville. It is over 40 years since Arch has seen his old slave mammy, who tended and cared for him when a baby, and his surprise and pleasure were the greater as he thought she was long since numbered with those who have crossed the river Styx. ------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Mrs. MILLER, wife of Rev. W.L. MILLER, is visiting her mother at Delano. -Wm. BOZEMAN lost a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles in Hanford last Saturday, and will be greatly obliged if some one would return them to him. -An attempt made by the little town of Famosa (formerly Poso) in Tulare county, to form a sanitary district to shut out the saloon, was defeated by a vote of 40 to 22. -G.W. BUCKNER, of Iowa, was in Hanford [illeg] week, visiting his old friend [illeg] H. WALKER. -An indictment has been found by the grand jury of San Joaquin county against Frank TALLMADGE, who is accused of assisting Elbert TUCKER in defrauding a Swede out of $200 on the representation that he was Deputy Sheriff Harry BERNSTEIN of Tulare County. -Mrs. Rowen IRWIN returned from Los Angeles Sunday morning.

He is somewhat deaf, but appears hale and hearty. -C.H.M. VERWOERT, of the Queen Wilhelmina Colony, is being congratulated by his friends. He won a lot in Bestman's addition to this city last Friday, by a lucky play with the nickel-in-the-slot machine at the Opera House bar. He got a royal flush and took the prize -- not the earth, but a valuable small part of it. -Last Thursday, in Justice Randall's court, John LaFORTUNE plead guilty of assault committed at Grangeville and was fined $40. His mother, Mrs. LaFORTUNE, was fined $15 for disturbing the peace. -F.J. WALKER returned last Sunday night from a trip to Livermore, where he went to visit his wife. He reports her health much improved and he expects to go down to the Bay again in about 3 weeks and bring her home. THERE IS ANOTHER case of diphtheria in this city. A school boy named SCOTT, whose family resides in the NW part of the city, was taken with the disease last week and the residence was promptly quarantined. The patient is recovering and the quarantine, it is expected, will be raised in a few days. There have been several cases of this dread disease in this city this winter, but only 1 death therefrom. The patients all lived in different parts of the city and there has not been more than 1 case in any one family. There has, apparently, never been great danger of an epidemic, owing to the prompt quarantine regulations adopted. ------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Master Fred NEWPORT (like lots of other boys) is very anxious to own a wheel, and although he has several pretty Shetland ponies, he says he would like to sell one so he can get a 1st-class bike. -We understand it was Marcus POWELL's house that was being moved on Thursday. It came from the West Side and broke down just south of Grangeville Wednesday. Things were put in shape and it arrived at its destination, NW of Hanford, on Thursday evening.

My other suggestion would be to check the census for 1880 and make sure he was not there then. That would help you narrow down the time frame that he could have been in Napa for you.

Mr. HIGHT came to this county about 5 years ago, and at the time of his death was book-keeper in the real estate office of E.E. BUSH. The funeral took place on Sunday, from the Presbyterian church under the auspices of Mussel Slough Lodge, No. 66, K. of P., assisted by the Odd Fellows of which lodges he was an honored member, as was evinced by the number of his brothers who attended his funeral -- there being nearly a hundred Knights and Odd Fellows in line. The deceased leaves a wife and brother in this county and aged parents in Pennsylvania, to mourn his loss, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavements, as Mr. HIGHT was universally liked and respected by all who knew him. The services at the church were conducted by Rev. N.W. MOTHERAL, and the Knights held their beautiful and impressive ceremony over the remains at the grave.

It seems that Mr. HORLOCK was cleaning out the church and placed the carpet out on the sidewalk, intending to sweep it, to which proceeding Mrs. LaFORTUNE objected, and a wordy war followed. In the evening of the same day John LaFORTUNE, son of Mrs. LaF., did not like the way HORLOCK talked to his mother, and meeting him as he was going to light up the hall for the dance, and during the controversy, hit the young man a blow in the face.

Dear Betty (Loose), I'm the one who asked about the online index which I am unable to find on the Sacramento Library web site - I think you have to have a library card. Is that true? You have helped me a great deal in the past with my Garesché family................ Thank you, Betty Garesché Torno St. Louis, MO

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 28 JANUARY 1896 *********************************** [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Mrs. Addie M. GARWOOD was granted a divorce from John F. GARWOOD by Judge Jacobs last Friday, on the grounds of desertion. Frank PRYOR was the attorney for the complainant. DEATH -- HALL -- In Hanford, Jan. 24, 1896, at the family residence on Fourth St., of consumption, Mrs. Augustina HALL, wife of Fred HALL. [The funeral took place from the Catholic Church on Saturday at 11 o'clock.] DEATH -- MOORE -- In Hanford, Sunday, Jan. 26th, Lloyd King, infant son of Mr.&Mrs. Fred S. MOORE, aged 23 days. [The funeral took place from the family residence on Eighth street, Monday at 10 o'clock, Revs. M.L. MILLER and C.H. REYBURN conducting the services. Mr.&Mrs. MOORE have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction.] ------------------------------------------------------- DEATH -- HIGHT -- In Hanford, Friday night, Jan. 24, 1896, of consumption of the lungs, John Barckley HIGHT, a native of Pennsylvania, aged 30 years, 2 months, 18 days. DEATH of J.B. HIGHT -- John Barckley HIGHT, a native of Pennsylvania, aged 30 years, died last Friday night of congestion of the lungs, after an illness of 2 weeks. Mr. HIGHT came to this county about 5 years ago, and at the time of his death was book-keeper in the real estate office of E.E. BUSH. The funeral took place on Sunday, from the Presbyterian church under the auspices of Mussel Slough Lodge, No. 66, K. of P., assisted by the Odd Fellows of which lodges he was an honored member, as was evinced by the number of his brothers who attended his funeral -- there being nearly a hundred Knights and Odd Fellows in line. The deceased leaves a wife and brother in this county and aged parents in Pennsylvania, to mourn his loss, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavements, as Mr. HIGHT was universally liked and respected by all who knew him. The services at the church were conducted by Rev. N.W. MOTHERAL, and the Knights held their beautiful and impressive ceremony over the remains at the grave. [from Grangeville column] -- This community, like Hanford, was terribly shocked over the death of Mr. John HIGHT. Deceased was a brother of Frank R. HIGHT, the principal of our school, for whom everybody has the greatest respect. The sympathy of the scholars and teachers as well as neighbors, is extended to himself as well as the young widow in their great sorrow and bereavement. ------------------------------------------------------- [From Local Paragraphs column] -- T.L. ARMSTRONG (father of Claude ARMSTRONG, in jail at Visalia convicted of grand larceny) was killed by a revolver in his own hands (by accident, the jury of inquest states) at about midnight last Sunday at his own place where his wife had taken him from a drunken bout in Traver where he was painting the town red by firing off his gun at random. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- Mrs. Angelina G. KNOX, sister of Fulton G. BERRY, died a few days ago at Fresno, aged 77 years. ------------------------------------------------------ A WORDY WAR -- The peace of Grangeville was disturbed last Friday afternoon by a difficulty between Bert HORLOCK janitor of the M.E. Church, and Mrs. LaFORTUNE, an old lady living opposite the church. It seems that Mr. HORLOCK was cleaning out the church and placed the carpet out on the sidewalk, intending to sweep it, to which proceeding Mrs. LaFORTUNE objected, and a wordy war followed. In the evening of the same day John LaFORTUNE, son of Mrs. LaF., did not like the way HORLOCK talked to his mother, and meeting him as he was going to light up the hall for the dance, and during the controversy, hit the young man a blow in the face. On Saturday morning Mr. HORLOCK swore out a warrant for his arrest and LaFORTUNE appeared before Justice Randall on the charge of disturbing the peace, plead not guilty and was released on $100 bail. Mrs. LaFORTUNE was also arrested on the same charge and was released on bail. The case will be settled in the courts tomorrow. -------------------------------------------------------- A SUCCESS -- The ball given at Grangeville on Friday evening, Jan. 24th, by the '96 club was a success, both socially and financially, there being over 70 couples present. Excellent music was furnished by the CRANE, ADAMS and DECKER orchestra. A free supper was served in the basement of the hall by the club. Floor Director H. ROBINSON, with his assistants, Geo. LATHAM, Geo. RITCHIE and Fred LATHAM, had charge of the floor and saw that everybody had a good time. The reception committee was composed of young ladies -- Miss Amelia and Dora SUTHERLAND and Ida BLOYD. The club will give another dance on Feb. 8, the proceeds of which will go for the benefit of the hall at Grangeville. -------------------------------------------------------- BOOK SOCIAL -- The following program has been arranged for the "Book Social" to be given at Baker's Hall next Monday night, Feb. 3d, at which prizes will be given for guessing -- prizes on display in Kutner-Godstein Co.'s window. Violin and piano duet: Miss Mae HILL and Miss Mary CARR Recitation: Miss Kate Felton Solo: Mr. Theo. GEBHARDT Piano Duet: The WADE twins Recitation: Mr. H. PRICE Song: Queenie DAVIES Piano Solo: Mrs. J.M. BOWMAN Recitation: Mr Burt WILSON Solo: Miss Mary CARR ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Miss ROOT, the school teacher, is very sick. H.C. WILSON is filling her position in the public school. -E.M. BUSH is now assisting his brother, E.E. BUSH, in his real estate office and has moved into town from his farm. -C.S. COOPER & family have gone to San Francisco, which city they will make their future home. -Mrs. LEGGITT, mother of J.C. & N.G. LEGGITT, left last Tuesday night for her home in Texas. -Mrs. A.M.

He went before Justice Fassett Saturday morning and plead guilty and was given 15 days in the county jail. REEL B. TERRY, well known in Hanford, stabbed one E.A. PHILLIPS in San Francisco last Thursday night. The men were both drunk and while on the street PHILLIPS made some remarks that TERRY resented. PHILLIPS was stabbed 4 times but the wounds were not serious. No arrests were made. ------------------------------------------------------ LEMOORE LOCALS -- -Fred McLAUGHLIN on Thursday of this week had a severe attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. -Bert BENTON, of Woodbine, Iowa, nephew of John BENTON, arrived in Lemoore last Sunday evening. -A.W.

I just tried to find the genealogy index online and it seems that one has to have a Sacramento Library card - some online things like newspapers have to be accessed though a computer at a library. If I have misinterpreted these things, can you please correct me and provide a link, at least to the index? You have helped me SO much in the past.........

Hi Betty, You should be able to search without a card. Go to saclibrary.org then select "catalog". A search box then pops up that allows you to search by title, author, keyword, etc. Betty

You can download it from SacBee.com (they charge $2.95). go to SacBee.com then from the News tab select Obituaries. There will be a list of obituaries and funeral notices. Scroll down under funeral notices and select "more notices". On the right hand side will be a search box. Type "Roots" in the surname space and select all dates. It will pop up with an option to buy. Bety

I posted this request on 3-16-2010 and didn't get any help. Is there some kind soul that could look this up? Thanks. Can someone look up the obit for Carl William Roots. It ran in the Sacramento Bee on 1-6-2005. JC
