Incidentally, I've already been to the cemtery, and I don't remember anyone else--other than the family I already knew of--being in the family plot.

I'm sure she would have remarried.<br /><br />On the other hand, I can't forget about my old nemesis: those editorial errors in newspapers. Who knows? Maybe that whole entry was in error. Don't know if you noticed, but the obit neglected to mention Sam's twin brother--a well-known resident of Alameda, incidentally--in addition to springing this second wife surprise on us.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-82910550257602347732013-05-24T22:12:28.875-07:002013-05-24T22:12:28.875-07:00The only reason I can think of for not finding any...The only reason I can think of for not finding anything yet is those blasted gaps in the historical newspaper holdings online.
