grave 3

Actually when I located Elizabeth's dads grave, I found out he had deeds to 4 graves on this plot, the other 3 were his daughters ,all three of them and one is hers at
Sunnyside Cemetery
1095 E. Willow Street
Long Beach CA 90806

this really nice man there gave me all the info on them , and another even took photos of the 4 graves for me,but all the info is what I have here, no family, also before she was married to a Johansen she was married to a Scharpegge , have you ever heard that name in the area before?? I was hoping to locate the funeral home to see if they had family info , maybe children from one of those marriages?? Then I was told that it had gone out of business a long time ago. So now my best hope is to locate her obituary , her dads obit turned up in the Anaheim Bulletin, perhaps hers is in one of those local papers.
Interestingly, I did locate a relative, a descendent of one of the sons, Dr Lovell L Goodwin dentist, they know nothing at all, in fact I gave them my info, they told me the family never talked about any one else from earlier generations.They had no idea about any of these people. They had no idea who Charles A Goodwin was ( the dad of Dr Lovell L Goodwin) had only heard the name Lovell and knew who he was.My goal is to locate the gravesite of Rev Henry B. Goodwin, Charles A. Goodwins dad. He dissappeared in or around Louisa , Kentucky sometime between 1847 and 1860. I have combed the state of Kentucky and not one of Henry Goodwins wifes family have found either grave, Henry or his wife Jane Billups. Thanks for any help or info, I really would appreciate it.
