Beverly, I subscribe to Ancestry, and this is where I found this. It was in the California Death Index, 1940-1997. Surname: BARNETT Given Name: HOYT Sex: MALE Birth Date: 2 Jul 1918 Death Date: 13 May1955 Birth Place: TENNESSEE Death Place: SACRAMENTO Social Security # : 0 Mother's Maiden Name: OWEN Father's Surname: BARNETT In the 1930 Federal Census, Hoyt (11 yrs. old, b. TN) is listed in District # 2, Scott Co., TN in the household of Martin Barnett (b. KY) and wife Anna (b. TN). Next door is John Barnett (b. KY) and wife Pearl (b. TN). I tried to find Hoyt in the Social Security Index, but couldn't pull anything up. I hope this other information will help you. Mary (Barnes) Moffette
