I would very much like to have a transcript of the death certificate for Maud Christ, died December 15, 1950. Thank you ever so much. Dave Hug in CA http://userzweb.lightspeed.net/davey

I went to a Long Beach Historical Tour of the above cemetery last Saturday. It was a interesting experience for me since I have family members in this cemetery. My grandmother, Ruby Myers and grandfather, Alvin Myers are buried there. Also a infant brother of mine is burried there, Donald Lyng. The tour consisted of several gravesites being talked about and people acting as the buried one telling about their lives. This cemetery was started in 1906 and has alot of ornate markers which are very interesting. This site is on Signal Hill where oil is drilled. This cemetery is a landmark in Long Beach. If anybody is interested in looking up anybody here, please send me a email and I'll be happy to help. Thank you, Suzanne (Lyng) Lenahan E-Mail: SLena78475@aol.com

That's unbelievable, Jeff. No gravestone for Louis Rubidoux! One of the most well-known figures in local history and he has no stone. Perhaps something should be done about this. I wonder if he has many descendants in the area and if they are aware of this. Gary Radcliffe

I found that if you go to http://www.forestlawn.com/parks.htm, it gives all locations and a toll free number to call. They were very helpful when I called and were willing to lookup the names and dates I gave them and also gave me a name that was in the family plot that I didn't even know about and am still trying to figure out.

Could I please get someone to get me transcription on Oretta (Ora) Mae Helderle. Her maiden name was Blizzard. Father was William Anderson Blizzard and the mother was Caroline Elizabeth Norton Blizzard. When Ora's family moved to the Stanislaus Co. area of CA, she stayed back in the Orange Co. area. I don't know if she was married at that time or if she married after the family left for the Turlock / Denair area in Stanislaus Co. The only thing I know is Ora married a Mr. Helderle. When Ora's father died in 1932 she was listed in the obit as being Linwood, Los Angeles Co. When her brother died in 1954 she was in Alhambra, CA This obituary or DC transcription would data would be on: Oretta (Ora) M. Helderle Born: Apr. 4, 1886 in Iowa Died: Apr. 10, 1970 in LA (70) Place of Burial: ?????? I don't know who Ora married, I do know that there were 3 children born, (1) Evelyn B. Helderle - Born Mar. 2, 1913 in LA It is believed she married a Mr. Black (2) Unnamed Male Helderle - Born Aug. 15, 1916 in LA (3) Donald Elroy Helderle - Born Feb. 27, 1927 in LA Found him in the SSDI and he died May 18, 1992, SSDI gave no other information other than SSN 563-30-466l, birth and death dates and was issued in CA before 1952. Could probably use an obit or death transcription on Donald also. Don't know anything about his family, children etc. Let alone anything about the rest of the Helderle family. Thank you for all of your help. You have really been a great source of information. If there is ever anything I can do for you folks on my side of the world, especially NC, you just let me Know.

hello joe, i do not mean to be rude, but this is not the "joe walker" mailing list. all the people on this mailing list are here to help each other, and i do not remember any formal etiquette of the mailing list, just to out help others searching for answers. this is the second e-mail you have addressed to myself. joe, if you do not wish to assist anyone whom is searching for help, please don't send sarcastic responses. if you are not happy to read or help out on the mailing list, why are you on this mailing list. i do not need instruction on how to type. the message i am sending is more important than how i type the message. i will not be changing the way i do type, and if you do not wish to read what i use (or misuse) the english language, just use your delete. accept this as constructed criticism. sam-quito ps: i do not have access to internet access, only e-mail access.

Rancho Los Amigos is definitely in western Downey. However, last I heard TB is ***VERY*** contageous, and it would not surprise me if (*IF*) the hospital had a TB ward somewhere off the main property, perhaps in Norwalk. That I don't know. What I DO know is that there is no way TB patients would be kept anywhere near the regular staff and regular patients. Back in high school, 1960s, I was a volunteer for awhile at L.A. Harbor General Hospital, at a lab in a temporary building away from the main building. One day my assigned errands changed, and my erranding route changed. I was instructed by my boss at the lab that my new route went by the TB ward, and I was instructed to keep away from the doors and windows (which were all closed, if not sealed, all the time) and not to stop outside the ward under any circumstances. If I got too near the ward, or if I stopped outside the ward for any reason, I would be fired. I followed orders. Three years later, when I transferred into the University of California, I had a mandatory TB test on entry. Next day, when the test was checked, I was **ORDERED** to report for a second test **NOW** because the first test was positive. I told the doc the above story -- and the second TB test was OK, or at least not too damning, so I was allowed to enter the university, but it was a close one. I rather imagine that a decade earlier, in the 1950s, the hospitals would have been even more strict about isolating TB patients. So, the TB ward could have been anywhere EXCEPT among the regular patients. Lester ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

I received the following from a descendant of Isaac Slover in Texas:Gary, I read that at sometime in the past, the markers were wooden crosses and they burned during a fire. The church might have some idea of the burials. You know, I thought about writing to the Portland Concrete Company but just never have. The Hadler book says, "In Nov. 1828, Isaac was issued a pass to go back to Sonora. In 1843, a party of colonizers from N. Mex., commanded by Don Jose Salazar arrived at La Politano and founded a village known as Agua Mansa (healing water). Isaac settled at San Bernardino at the south base of the mountain that bears his name." Another passage in the book relates a story about the mountain. "It is said that an old Mexican, perhaps Pio Pico, the last Mexican governor, owned the land which now takes in several cities and when the time came to divide his lands among his children, he gave the lands which were under cultivation to his sons and a daughter received Slover Mt. Later, marble and limestone were discovered and the daughter made a fortune. From Westways Magazine, June 1958 - The Mountain They Put in Sacks: Lime kilns went into operation in the late 1850's; Marble was mined by 1861. This mountain which once rose more than 700 ft. above the surrounding plain, was called "Tahualta-pa" or "Hill of the Ravens" by the Indians; "Cerrito Solo" or "Lone Hill" by the Spaniards." That tells a little about the mountain and the location of Isaac's cabin. As to the double burial, I thought maybe they moved Isaac's grave to the churchyard when they started serious mining on the mountain. Haven't a clue if that is really what happened though. Later, Cathey
