Would someone please do a transcription of the death certificate for: Helen Weadon, died Los Angeles County, CA October 28, 1996

You've got a bonanza waiting .... since she's buried in Ft. Rosecrans Nat Cem, either she or her husband was a military vet. You need to contact either VA (on-line) or the Cem directly to find who was the vet, branch of service, & possibly the unit. Then get the personnel file from the National Archives. Be sure to specify "entire file including medical & retirement." This will include info about any dependants during the military service, & may give you a clue as to marriage place & date if the marriage took place during the term of service. There may also be a marriage certificate if the spouse applied for benefits after the service members death. Then, since you found her on the CADI, you should have a SSAN (Social Security Account Number). You need to contact soc. sec. & get a copy of her SS-5 which is the application for the account number. It is only one page, & has limited info, but it is primary info provided by the applicant. My experience of Ft. Rosecrans is they are very helpful on the phone, but they only have a 3x5 file card, so their main help is to tell you who the service member was, so you can get that file from NARA. You might want to invest a long distance phone call to them, taking advantage of the time difference. If so, I'd call early in the week, as they are (slightly) less busy. Ft. Rosecrans is beautiful, located on a long steep sided peninsula into the pacific (Pt. Loma) from all the gravesites there is a marvelous view of the ocean, or the harbor & city. http://www.nara.gov/research/ordering/ordrfrms.html http://www.nara.gov/regional/stlouis.html http://www.cem.va.gov/ http://www.ssa.gov/ Social security charges $7.00 for a search if you know the SSAN. If you don't have the number but do have other identifying info, they will search, but the fee is $16.50. The fee is payable for the search whether or not they find a record. If you are requesting records of a deceased person, please direct your request to: Social Security Administration Office of Central Records Operations FOIA Workgroup, P.O. Box 17772 300 N.

Thanks Alice, I will try the Chamber of Commerce. Oscar Barron

Compton Chamber of Commerce 307 North Willowbrook Avenue, Compton, CA 90220 (310) 631-8611   You might try contacting their Chamber of Commerce. It seems like they should have history of Heritage House there somewhere. Good Luck! Alice Rogers/LaHabra,CA.

Would you please give me a trancription of the Death Cert of Fred Harrison Kinney died Los Angeles County, LA (there is a 19 by the county) who died 3 July 1944? I need his wife's name (hopefully also her maiden name). Thanks.

Heather Dawn - Thank you so much for your response. What a small world that our ancestors both wrote about the same mission! That's so wonderful you have a picture of the Kelley's and its interesting to know they were Quakers. I'm not certain if my gg grandfather William Edward Booth stayed on at the Holiness Mission or not. I know he stayed in LA for some time as his daughter attended school there. Family members say he was a traveling preacher, but no one knows what religion. In the 1901 census in Canada he is listed as Methodist and a farmer. Below is what he writes about LA. He also writes about a visit to see old neighbors Wood and Bodin at their fruit orchard in San Diego, which I can put on the list if anyone is interested. "On Monday evening, June 12th (1893), we land all safe and sound, in the city of Los Angeles, feeling like praising God for His kind care over us during our journey. We put up for the night and feel like enjoying the good night's rest as ever we did in our lives. Finally, after a little refereshment for the inner man, we do not forget the giver of all good, and committing ourselves to His care we lay ourselves down to rest. Morning came, and as beautiful as ever the sun rose upon, and as soon as the morning's refreshing was over with, we start out on a tour of inspection of this southern city. We have now to say, it is beyond what we expected to find. It claims to have a population of about 80,000; it is very nicely situated, and a real lively, go-ahead place. Although not a very extensive manufacturing city at present yet a considerable amount of building and other public works is being carried on. There are some very fine buildings, both public and private, well laid out streets, with the electric and cable cars running on most all the principal ones. It is about 15 miles to the seashore. There are a number of very beautiful seaside resorts, to which the Sata Fe, Terminal and Southern Pacific railways convey thousands of the citizens every Saturday and Sunday, by a reduced fare to fifty cents for round tirp. There are a number of schools both public and private, orphanages and shelters for the poor. Yes, the poor and outcast are to be found in southern California as in any other part of the world. But there are willing hands and hearts who have sacrificed every wordly luxury and fame, to help gather in the wandering prodigals, who having left their father's home, and spent all their living, have been reduced down to the grade of swine-feeding, and without a friend, have found in this city, an institution which caters to their needs known as Holiness Mission and Faith Home, founded by the Lord, through the instrumentality of Mr. W. M. Kelly; a man without any resources of his own, but trusting wholly on the Lord for all. The poor and unemployed, who are without means, can have two meals a day, and sheltered at night free. Two meetings are held daily, at which they can hear the gospel preached in its purity, and hundreds of those wandering prodigals have embraced salvation at these meetings, some of which have been restored to their homes clothed and in their right mind, while others have taken up their cross and gone out to tell the glad tidings to others. Everything in this institution we are told, is run on the faith line; no one is ever naked for anything save the Lord, who supplies all their needs. At the time of writing there are about 200 meals given out daily, but a much larger number is expected as the winter season approaches. There are also a great many churches and other missions, besides two lively Salvation Army Corps; and we believe there is no city in the world according to the population, where are to be found so many different religious denominations, or forms of worship. The population is made up of most every nation, tribe and tongue. There are several very fine parks in and round the city, in which are to be seen palm, banana, oak, magnolia and a large variety of other beautiful trees and shrubs and flowers which seem to grow to perfection; in fact the air is laden with the breath of flowers, and the blossoms of different fruit trees. The climate is also very fine, every day seems to be about the same, excepting the rising and falling of the temperature. The nights are cool and refreshing; we can sleep quite comfortable 'neath a couple of good quilts. The sea breeze rises about 9 o'clock in the morning and continues a gentle gale till about five in the afternoon. There are many, no doubt, would like to know how people dress in this hot climate. Well, we are sure you will be astonished when we tell you that ladies with their furs are to be seen on the street any day during the summer season. Some wear as heavy goods during the hottest time as we have seen in Cowansville in the winter, and again, there are others who dress in the opposite extreme, but all are very neat and fashionable to say the least."

Hello, Would any of you know if the Heritage House in Compton still exist? My Barron family settled in that area during the 1860's and some of their possessions are supposed to be displayed there. Thank you. Oscar Barron

Warning - this is a request from a real novice, so please bear with me! I am trying to track down more info on the burial site of a distant cousin, cinematographer George Barnes, who died in 1953. He is buried at Hollywood Cemetery on Santa Monica Blvd, near Paramount Studios. As I understand it, the cemetery is quite run down, so it may not even have an office with grave location info. In any case, I am trying to find the exact location of his grave there and, even more importantly, names and info of anyone who might be buried in the same plot. Does anyone have any helpful info for me? Thanks in advance! Rick Estberg Severna Park, MD cestberg@erols.com

Rick... Great first post! Usually newbies post something like this:: "NEED INFO! ..George Barnes, DIED 1953.HOllywood Cemetery on Santa Monica Blvd NEED DCT COPY--PICTURE OF GRAVE...COPY OF WILL..PICTURES OF HIS CHILDREN..etc.." : ) It's New Years Eve...we can joke a bit, can't we?? Rick, Hollywood Cemetery is now called Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It is very nice now, and could not be friendlier to grave hunters. They have tours there, and it is really a nice place to visit. At "findagrave.com" this cemetery has lots of tombstone pics, but none of Mr. Barnes. Good luck in your search, and thank you for being so polite in your first post! Joe W.

Several months ago while doing L.A. research I saw a list of all Los Angeles churches in a 1900 edition of the L.A. Times. It had the church name, the address, and the minister's name. Of course, I made a copy of this and filed it away! I just checked the list, and there is no Faith Mission, Holiness Mission, or Wm Kelly listed. However, this list is for L.A. only, so if the mission were located on the outskirts of L.A., it might not have been noted. Joe W. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't have the address of the mission but if it was on Santa Fe Street, the neighborhood is mostly low rent industrial and warehouses. It's a very old street in a very old part of town. Gary

I have a photo of Willis M. Kelley and his wife. Along with the Whites, Fraziers, and the Moyles (does his story mention them as well?). Mr. Kelley and his missionaries were Quakers for the most part. I do not know much about the Mission, though my ggrandmother's sister was a missionary as well (Jim & Alta Adams, Jim was born in Canada). My gggrandmother wrote her life's story which I am currently trying to transcribe it (I'm only through chapter 1 right now). The story mentions the Mission. chirokas@tiac.net wrote: > > Dear Listers: I'm hoping someone knows about or can steer me in the right > direction to find information on the Holiness Mission and Faith Home that > existed in Los Angeles in 1893. > > My gg grandfather William Edward Booth travelled from Province of Quebec, > Canada to LA in 1893 and stayed there for at least a year or two.

Dear Listers: I'm hoping someone knows about or can steer me in the right direction to find information on the Holiness Mission and Faith Home that existed in Los Angeles in 1893. My gg grandfather William Edward Booth travelled from Province of Quebec, Canada to LA in 1893 and stayed there for at least a year or two. He is said by family to have been a preacher of some sort and his family was first Anglican and later Methodist. In his journal written about his trip he mentions the Holiness Mission founded by W.M. Kelly and I've wondered if he stayed for a time to work there. I have not done California research before, so any advice on finding info. on the mission would be appreciated. Thank you!
