According to death certificate, my grandfather PIOQUINTO LONGORIA ZAMORA died on June 12, 1937 in McAllen Municipal Hospital, McAllen, Hidalgo Co, TX. MARTIN-NELSON Funeral Home was in charge of the funeral services and burial was at LA PIEDAD CEMETERY. He was buried next to several relatives.
The cemetery has no record of my grandfather's grave, stating that records were lost during a hurricane several years ago. La Piedad informs me that in order to place a marker on the grave, I must produce "section and plot numbers," which should be noted on funeral home records.
PROBLEM: Martin-Nelson Funeral Home, which was located at 421 S. Main, McAllen, TX, is no longer in business.
QUERY: Does anyone out in internet land know what may have happened to the funeral home records? Thank you.
