I found the people in the Bakersfield historical society very helpful. That is not far from Fairfield. I do have a relative buried in Fairfield about that time whose relatives lived in Bakersfield. I also was able to get divorce papers from about that time at the court house I think. I was visiting the area so that makes a difference.
