The following is the only information I have. Maud M. Tanner was orn on 19 August 1875, Honey Lake Valley, Lassen County, California. She was he daughter of William Martin Tanner and Jane Smith. On 30 July 1892 she arried John P.Gehring at Susanville, Lassen County, California. He was born irca 1847 at Germany. That is the last documentation I have. According to the only relative, a niece, was the only person who ven knew of this person’s existence. She was told that when Maud’s brother, harlie Tanner died in 1920 a search was made, since she was entitled to a ortion of the estate. The family thought that maybe her last known whereabouts as somewhere in Oregon and they assumed she died before Charlie did. I have searched for over thirty years, with no success. A friend did uggest due to the age difference, her husband may have died, and she emarried. Any assistance and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. im Purdy usanville, CA ---------------------------------------- ORCAL ARCHIVES: ttp://archiver.rootsweb.com/ nter NORCAL.
