obituary lookup - Anderson

kj13936 — 3 Jul 2008 12:48:29 GMT

I am in need of finding the obituary of Beth Marian Anderson who died on July 24, 1995 in Camino, CA. She was the daughter of Williard and Olive Schwerin of Sacramento and later Placerville. She was born Sept. 4, 1927. She was survived by two daughters. I would like to make contact with them. Beth and my mom were cousins, same age. I don't know the daughter's names so would very much like a copy of the obituary. Any help with some information would be appreciated. Thanks for you time.

Frank Baccus Obit - 1913

Doreen — 14 Nov 2001 6:52:20 GMT

I ran across this obituary in the Carson City Daily Appeal, dated Feb. 8 1913. I thought it was really fascinating and hope someone knew of this man:

"Aged Negro Dies in Reno

A dispatch from Reno states that Frank Baccus, a giant negro, aged 118, who drove freight teams between Placerville and Sacramento 60 years ago, died of senile gangrene yesterday at the Nevada State Insane Asylum near Reno.

John Hawthorne, aged 82 years, knew Baccus at Sacramento sixty years ago. He was 6 feet 8 inches at the time and weighed over 250 pounds and was apparently about 60 years of age.

Baccus stated that he remembered when Madison was inagurated president in 1809, when 15 years old, so that his birth must have occured about 1794. He accompanied his master in the Black Hawk war of 1832. In 1850 he came from Missouri to Placerville. He worked out his bondage and then worked as a freighter for Deluce, who ran a store for many years at Placerville. Baccus came to Nevada in the '50's before there was a Reno."

I have no further information on him, just thought it was a great obit.

My GGGreat Uncle Ebin left Maine with his brother George W. Rowell to prospect for gold. He is shown in 1860 census in El Dorado County. He died on October 5, 1863. Can anyone assist me in directing me to death records or obituaries? I am interested in cause of death and in knowing if he is interred in California.

POW/MIA Korean War El Dorado Co. SMITH

powmiadna — 16 Feb 2008 7:23:34 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave El Dorado County, California as his home of record.

Soldier: ERNEST EDWARD SMITH
Born: 1928
Date of loss: October 21, 1950

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 212 families in California that have not been located. There is one family from El Dorado County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

J.G. Collins And Florence Soto Marriage 1908

kennyrose1 — 6 Feb 2008 10:45:36 GMT

County Recorder has Collins/Soto October 13,1908 marriage record.Maybe when it arrives the information I'm seeking will be on this document.

I have the divorce case record dated 1917-18 between J.G. Collins and his wife Florence.
The court made a name correction early in the divorce case changeing J.G.Collins to J.C. Collins.
I do not know what the J.C.stands for possibly could be Jeremiah C.or Jerry C. Collins.
I have very old documents where Collins signed his name as Jerry C.Collins and J.C. Collins.

I have an 1928 Sacramento California superior court record that states Florence Collins last name in 1928 was Florence Toomey.

I'm searching for information on Florence's true her maiden name, it could had been Soto.
Her birthday day and month is August 8 presently the year is not clear to me.
Florence's on line California death records stated the year of her birth was 1870.
Florence V. Allen passed away in Sacramento,Ca on Nov 19, 1962.Florence V.Allen was my great grand mother.
Florence had a son his name was Henry C. born in California 1904.
It is not clear at this time just what our Henry C.true last name was,presently I'm looking at Shepherd.
Florence Collins in this 1917-18 divorce record that I have says her son name was Henry Shepherd.
J.C. Collins may have been the son of Jeremiah and Dove Collins of Georgetown,Ca
I'm seeking information out of El Dorado county from any one that may have any of these names in their family history records.

Please contact me at kennyrose1@yahoo.com.

A Young Life Closed

The news of the death of Henry Pascoe last Wednesday evening , after an illness of but a few days, was a great shock to this community. The young man was known to every resident of the place, having for the past eight years been a trusted employee of Inch & Son, commencing as a carrier of the daily papers. He was not in his usual health, but kept at his work in the store until Friday evening, when he was urged to go home, as he had a severe headache. Acute pneumonia developed soon after, and the despite the skill of physicians and every care of devoted parents, he sank rapidly, until his death came, as stated about 4:45 o’clock Wednesday.
William Henry Pascoe was born in Placerville, May 11, 1891, and received his education in the schools of this city, commencing in Mrs. Dormody’s private school and finishing with two-year high school course, after which he started to work for Mr. Inch, and at time was bookkeeper and collector for the firm. He was but a few months from his majority, having reached 20 years, 7 months 13 days, and a prominent member of the local Parlor of Native Sons in which he had held the office of Marshall, and had recently been elected 3d vice president. He was also a member of Placerville Nest, No. 1311, Order of the Owls of this city. About 2 years ago he underwent an operation for appendicitis, but otherwise had never been seriously ill in his life, and his death is a great blow to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Pascoe, whose only child he was, and who have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement.
The funeral will take place Sunday, Dec. 31st, under the auspices of Placerville Parlor, No. 9, N. S. G. W.. from the Catholic Church at 2 o'clock p m.

Death of Mrs. Henry

Mrs. Geo. W. Henry passed away at her home at Slatington last week, from heart failure, and was buried beside her husband, who died about three years ago. Mrs. Henry was one of the oldest residents of the Kelsey district, and was a woman of the sturdy characteristics which marked the pioneer women of the state. She leaves on son, Robert, of this city with whom she expected to make her home, having recently sold her little place at Slatington. She appeared in her usual health until a few hour before death came to her, and it is supposed that the excitement attending her packing up to move, brought in a attack of the heart failure, to which she was subject. Rev E. E. Clark officiated at the funeral and Geo Cushing assisted him in the music.

A Holiday Sorrow

The death of Mrs. Bertha Allbright at Elmira, Sunday, Dec. 30, 1905,is sad news for many friends and acquaintances in this city. Her death occurred after a long hopeless decline while visiting a daughter. She was a native of Germany, 71 years of age. She came to this county from St. Louis in 1854 and had resided here from that time. Her husband’s death preceded hers by 33 years. But one son, Wm. Allbright, of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. M. Enner and Mrs. S. March of Elmira, survive to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. Her funeral on New Years Day was conducted by Rev Pond (hard to read). The relatives present were Martin Enner, wife and three children, Maud , George and Harvey; Mrs. L. March and her daughter Edna, and Wm. Gamble.

1850s Placerville Tavern Keeper's Family Lookup, Please

knrivers — 17 Jul 2007 4:33:37 GMT

Hi,

I am looking for the grave of my 4th great grandmother, Elizabeth Bliss Arnold and any photos, stories or information on her family.

Elizabeth Bliss was born 21 Oct 1799 in CT and married Josiah Arnold in about 1831 in NY. Josiah is listed on the 1850 US Census in Placerville with the occupation of "Tavern Keeper." They had three children before 1850: Orson Pratt, Margaret Elizabeth (who died as an infant in NY) and Caroline. They added one more son after 1850, Joseph Smith Arnold (who is buried in UT). If you couldn't tell by the names, this was a Mormon family. :-)

Elizabeth Bliss Arnold died on 7 Sep 1859 in Placerville. I ordered a death certificate but then discovered that the records were destroyed by a fire in 1911 . :-(

So, any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Thank you, again,

Barney/Fox/Warnke in Placerville?

RebeccaLeckman — 3 Jun 2007 7:22:34 GMT

I'm trying to find ancestors for both Anna H. Barney (b abt 1878) and Peter Fox (b abt 1873), who were married in Placerville 15 Jan 1902. Anna was from the area, Peter was originally from Wisconsin. The marriage didn't last long, as Anna was re-married on 29 Dec 1908 to Henry John Warnke; this marriage also took place in Placerville, but Henry was originally from Kentucky or Indiana.

I'm looking for Barney, Fox, or Warnke relatives that have any additional information about the families.

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca

looking for info on Burnell Cole family

starrcross — 19 Dec 2006 12:50:48 GMT

My ancestor research has brought me to Burnell Smith Cole b. 8/8/1904 in IL and d. 8/11/1989 in Diamond Springs.He owned a auto repair shop. Burnell's wife is or was Aileen Wood. Burnell had a brother, Sanford, I have been unable to find info on him. Their mother was Julia Gerladine (Sanford) Cole. I think she was remarried after her husband died. Unable to find info on her husband other than he died when the boys were young.
Sanford had one child that I can find I am hoping there are others that are still alive and want to share information. Sanford was married to Dorothye (Possible maiden name of Hayward) their daughter was Janice Cole.
I Believe that Sanford and his wife and child lived in Orange Co in the 30's
If anyone knows of this family your help would be greatly appreciated. I have information on Julia (Sanford) Cole that dates back to the 1600's and would love to share
Thank you for you help
