I have an Erva A Cathie who I found a marriage record for in the Humboldt Room in Eureka. It was to John Louis Bottani. The date was 5 Sep 1939 in Humboldt county. Erva was 17. She had lost her father in 1934 and her mother passed away less than two weeks after her daughter married. I have the death record on mother, Jennie Bush Cathie but so far have not found an obit. Erva's birth was not recorded, that I can find. John Louis Bottani appears to have been a Mendocino county resident, born there in 1919 and died in Alameda County, 25 Oct 1996, but his last residence for SS was Ukiah. He was buried in Fort Bragg. I don't know if the Bottanis were married in 1996. The only lady I find close to Erva is Erva A. Tyrrell, born 24 Oct 1921 and died 11 Oct 1999 with last residence in Santa Rosa, Sonoma. Are there some kind souls who could look for obits for Erva and John Louis? I would imagine that there would be no obituaries in Alameda County. EdrieAnne
