The Find A Grave memorial includes exactly the information I found in the San Francisco <i>Call</i> obituary, <b>but</b> when I called the cemetery, they said they have no record of the burial. The memorial doesn't include any photo of the grave, you'll notice, making me wonder if it was just added by virtue of the newspaper article.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-13755938366017038032013-03-14T20:40:48.916-07:002013-03-14T20:40:48.916-07:00Frustrating to be so close yet so far.

That certainly is my Laura's information, but I suspect a Find A Grave volunteer merely gleaned the information from another source and entered it--unless, of course, the staff member of the cemetery gave me some information in error.

And I checked out the history of Cypress Lawn. It was in existence back then, and their office knows of no other such named cemetery that has since closed.
