I am trying to break through a brick wall. If anyone has a lead on an Etna Alice Thornburg who moved to West Virginia from San Francisco in the 1960s, I would be grateful to hear from you. She passed away in 1983.

Here is what I know so far"

"Etna A. Thornburg [Etna Alice Rearick per birth certificate; "Ethna N." (sic) Thornburg on the death certificate] was a long time resident of Lane County, OR, where her parents finally settled. She married a man named "Thornburg" of whom nothing else is know [save that he might have been a Naval Officer] and lived in San Francisco during the 1950s. They were divorced (date unknown) and on 7 Nov 1967 a social security card was applied for on her behalf by an "H. V. Johnson (Guardian), of Eugene, OR." According to her death certificate, she lived in Walton, Roane County, WV and died in the Riverside Nursing Home in St. Albans, Kanawha County, WV. Beyond the above, nothing is known of her life from about 1930 until her death, including how she wound up in West Virginia. According to her death certificate she is buried in the Orma Cemetery, Orma, WV."
