Hello:
I am searching for any information on William Joseph, also called Billy Joe. He was Native American storyteller from I think Amador and Sacramento counties, but he lived all over. Most importantly, I am seeking to find his grave site. He died in Auburn in the hospital in 1934 and he was buried without using a funeral home, maybe just friends or family. There is no newspaper obituary, nothing in the Placer County Archives on his death. His death certificate says "Indian Cemetery."

Looked in the Maidu burial site on Maidu drive, and there are some unmarked graves. Would sure like to find his grave.
