Sue Wherethesnowhasfinallymelted: Sues great aunt Rhoda Roberts (nee Dunn) was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, via funeral directors Callanan Mortuary. Sue bewails the confusion that there are two Holy Cross Cemeterys in L.A.Co. I checked my Thomas Bros. atlas, and yep, theres two of em, one in Culver City and the other in Pomona. But, we know that the funeral director was Callanan, and chances are that Callanan was close to the correct Holy Cross. I checked http://www.555-1212.com and found the mortuary as thusly: Callanan Mortuary 1301 N. Western Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90027 phone (323) 462-2266 That address is in the Hollywood area, and is VASTLY CLOSER to Culver City than it is to Pomona. Pomona is way, way, way, way yonder out there at the other end of the county. So, the Culver City cemetery has just about gotta be the one. The www.555-1212.com site lists: Holy Cross Cemetery 5835 W. Slauson Ave. Culver City, CA 90230 phone (323) 776-1855 A peek at L.A.s USGenWeb Project page, http://www.cagenweb.com/~re/losangeles (via www.rootsweb.com, going the long way in) shows Holy Cross to be a Catholic cemetery. I dont know the admission requirements for Holy Cross, but there is certainly a chance that Rhoda Roberts (nee Dunn) was Catholic. For some overall photos of Holy Cross at Culver City (and a conflicting, possibly obsolete phone number) see http://www.lacatholiccemeteries.org To get at least some sort of start on things Catholic in L.A., see http://www.la-archdiocese.org (Push the Easy Interface Home Page button; then select Baptisms for a notion of their recordkeeping -- which isnt easy to get!) There is a question about a 1997 L.A. Times obit. Alas, my city library is remodeling, and the microfilms are now in-a-box-somewhere. Sigh. For Jean A. and Mary A. Roberts, maybe the CA Marriage Index has something. I believe that my local LDS FHC might have that, and Ill check and see tomorrow. Ive never done the marriage index before, so theres no guarantees because I simply dont know (yet) what they have.

Hi All, Just wanted to say that I found this article very interesting - and a bit scary at the same time. In the future it will be much easier to verify deaths and find out information on one's ancestors, as I'd imagine many cemeteries will jump on the computer/DNA bandwagon. But, on the downside, at what cost to the living? And those buried in such a cemetery may never "rest in peace." I thought the comparison with "The Loved One" particularly apt. Thanks, Nancy, for sending the URL for the article.

Hi Listers, The NEW Hollywood Forever Cemetery has been a recent topic on SOCAL and I feel of interest to the NORCAL members. In today's LA Times there is an article with pictures about the revived cemetery and the new emphasis by the owners on family histories and the applications of computer technology to the mortuary business---it's much more 'user friendly'. Here's the URL for the LA Times...better check it fast; the Times doesn't keep articles available for free for too long. <http://www.latimes.com/living/lat_cemetery010102.htm> I live 'over the hill' from the cemetery and will check the records for Listers' ancestors while I am out of school until Jan. 7th. Please send me the particulars of the research you request, directly to me, OFF THE LISTS and be sure this is the correct cemetery to search. My e-mail is; <ND_HOWARD@ayhoo.com> Have a great day, Nancy Howard in Studio City CA ===== Researching: Doyle in TN,KY and CA; Perkins in MO,KY and CA; Pringle in CT,MO and OR; Howard in ME, NY and CT. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The Los Angeles (City) Public Library (5th & Flower), has an index to the Los Angeles Times on microfilm. I'm not sure when it starts, but does go to about 1940. It's the only one I've seen for the early Times. Kathie Mauzey famhistory@juno.com

Hello Listers - I thought I'd finish off transcribing the part about California from my gg grandfather William E. Booth's June 1893 travel journal about his trip from Cowansville, Quebec, Canada to California. He's leaving Los Angeles for a trip to San Diego. Christine Chirokas "After visiting a few of the seaside bathing places, which we found to real health-invigorating resorts, with every accommodation provided for bathing, fishing, boating, etc., etc., we proceed on to the city of San Diego, the most southern part of the State, and about 135 miles from Los Angeles. We take the Santa Fe Route; it is certainly a most delightful trip. We pass through some beautiful fruit ranches, corn fields and vineyards, also some very large cattle ranches and grain fields. The grain was principally all cut and stacked, and the threshers were at work over the field, while other men were engaged with from four to eight horse teams hauling the grain to several shipping stations. This line runs about 50 miles along in sight of the ocean, and for many miles down to the water's edge, while on the other side the rocks tower many feet above us; altogether it is sublime, and has only to be seen to be appreciated. After passing through some very nice little towns, and beautiful scenery we arrive in the city of San Diego, which is another wonder in itself. It is situated on the coast, and after learning a little of its history, we could not compare it to anything but Jonah's gourd, when we understand it to be but about seven years old, and having a population of about 12,000, with some very grand buildings both public and private, and boasts of having the finest shipping harbor on the coast. Convenient to this city is supposed to be the largest hotel in the world, covering some seven acres of ground, and is known as the Coronado hotel. It can be reached from the city by a ferry boat or a small motor belt line, which runs every hour to and from it. We take this belt line and go on to South San Diego, which is about 15 miles from the city, and about a mile or so of Mexico. This is a very beautiful climate, much more healthy we should say than is Los Angeles, the seasons being more moderate. The product being principally lemons, apricots and all other smaller fruits. Your readers shall not have forgotten the familiar names of Messrs. Wood & Bodin, who left Cowansville some time ago for these parts. Hearing they were located in this vicinity, we resolved to look them up. We found them, however, and quite at home too, among their young orchard of about 2,000 lemon and other fruit trees. After our joys had been expressed at meeting with each other again, we all went in to make merry, and to thank the Lord for His kind care of us. Many questions were soon asked us about their many friends in Cowansville, which we can assure you they have not forgotten. After refreshments our friends got their horse and carriage in readiness and we were driven around a considerable portion of the neighboring vicinity, all of which we were well pleased with. Our time is now up, and we say good bye to our friends, hoping to meet them again in the near future. Many may feel like asking the question: "What encouragement would you give me to go there?" To which we would answer in this form; If your health is failing, your system is run down, and you can afford this trip, then we would say come, you will be helped. Again if you have an independence and would like a good place to spend your latter days, we would say try California. If you have a strong desire to work for the Lord, in trying to turn the sinners from the evil of their ways, and you have no subjects bad enough at home to work upon, then come to California. If you are a poor man, and have to earn your living by the sweat off your brow, then we would advise you to remain at home, for this place is overstocked with that class. Hoping that this sketch of our trip to this southern clime and our advice to those who might be anxious to come, seeking this world's goods, may be sufficient to convince and satisfy all, that there are worse places than California. We will close by saying adieu to all, and remain as your your friend."
I believe the Mission that you are speaking of is now called the Rescue Mission in downtown Los Angeles.

Hello All, I'm new to this list ... My interest in CA stems from my Great Aunt - Rhoda Ellen ROBERTS (nee DUNN) ... She was born on the 15th January, 1890 (birth certificate), in my home town of Nottingham, England - (15th January 1891 on death certificate) ... Rhoda was a registered nurse who, I think, emigrated to America in the September of 1919 ... I have this postcard written by my Gran to a cousin, saying how she couldn't visit with them because she was, "going to see Nellie off" ... The *off* being wave her goodbye & Nellie being Rhoda's nickname ... I finally found my Rhoda on the online California Death Index - many thanks to the people who made that available .. She died on the 8th January, 1963, in Los Angeles ... She was a widow ... I have no idea who the informant was, & I would suggest that he didn't know her all that well, because her mother's name is missing & her father's name is the wrong one - it gives William DUNN & in fact her father's name was Elias DUNN ... Her grandfather & brother were called William ... There are too many things right about the information given for me not to doubt that I have the right death certificate ... I was told that Rhoda married an American & had two children - a boy called Gene & a girl 'they' thought was called Molly ... So, I then set about searching the Online Birth Index & found a possible two children for Rhoda .... ROBERTS JEAN A 08/09/1920 MALE DUNN SAN DIEGO ROBERTS MARY A 09/05/1923 FEMALE DUNN SAN DIEGO I then searched the Cemetery Index again & found a possible death for Jean ... Jean A Roberts Burial: Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery * Birth: Aug. 9, 1920 San Diego County Death: Nov. 13, 1976 California, USA - Plot: E,70 Of course, I have no ideas at all about Mary .. ??? ... Did she marry .. ??? I still don't know the name of Rhoda's hubby either ... Is there a Marriage Index that could be searched .. ??? .. Rhoda was a Registered nurse - I understand she did her training her in England - but - would she have had to have registered with a Nursing Association in America ? .. If so, with whom ? ... Are hospital records available ? ... Her Death certificate says she died at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles, & that her last employment had been at the Ventura General Hospital ... Finally (almost) - do I hear a sigh of relief ? ... :-) ... The funeral director was Callanan Mortuary & she was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery ... Now I've searched for this cemetery, but I'm confused, there appears to be more than one in Los Angeles by than name ... Lastly, I have found on the LA Times Index, an Obituary for Rhoda, but I have no idea where to go from here about that ... The entry says ... ROBERTS, Rhoda; ; ; Los Angeles T (CA); 1997-3-16; kweigel Could this really be her, do you think ? ... Is the date the entry in the index ? ... Umm ... A lot of food for thought ... Thanks for letting me air it ... Sue were the snow has finally melted ...
