Whenever you ask for genealogy help, you HAVE to give some point of reference to aid in the search. For example when William Jelinek died, was that two years ago and Pauline was at Steilacoom? Or did he die in 1910? With that said, I found a William Jelinek, age 32, in the 1920 census for Nebraska, Custer Co, Elk Creek Township, District 85, enumerated on 13 January 1920. His wife was not readable, age 34. A daughter, Pauline, was 5. So she was born sometime in 1914, up to 12 January 1915. Is that the right person? If so, in the Washington Death Index, there was a Pauline Watson that died on 28 May 1950 in Pierce County at the age of 36. (She would have been born in 1914). If someone could visit the Tacoma Library and look for her obituary in the Tacoma Tribune microfilms, sometime in the first few days after her death. Reviewing the city directories for circa 1950 and before could also identify the name of her husband.
