Today I received two death certificates from CA. One was Sarah Jeanette MAYNARD, surname a scribbled word. She was born 14 Feb., 1854 in IL. She died while living at 900 18th St., San Diego, Ca, 24 Jan., 1925. She was buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery and Benbough Funeral Parlor handled her funeral. Her widower was Alfred MAYNARD, born in England (date is wrong on death certificate), died 2 June, 1934 while living at 6201 Tooley Ave, Encanto (hard to read word), San Diego Co., CA. He burned to death in a house fire of unknown origins at Tooley Ave. Benbough Funeral Parlor handled his funeral and he is also buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
I would very much like to find descendants of these MAYNARDs,
some children Thomas, Alfred Jr., Horace, Charles. I'm deadended
at the 1920 census in San Diego.

My Great-aunt Cecelia (DORZWEILER) DOUGLAS CAMP has been trying to locate her sister-in-law (widow of Fidelis DORZWEILER) Ann (OBRIEN) DORZWEILER BUCHANAN. She most recently corresponded with her ca 1985-86 by telephone. At that time, Ann was in Carlsbad, California in a retirement community. Cecelia sent several letters around that time, and none were returned. Previously she lived in Oceanside, California. Fidelis and Ann met in Colorado. My aunt told me that Ann would have been 86 in November (1997 - 86 = 1911). I found an SSDI entry for Ann BUCHANAN, born 28 NOV 1911, died APR 1995, Residence 92057 (Oceanside, San Diego, California), SSN 523-30-8330, card issued in Colorado. I am looking for anyone who knew Ann and/or anyone who might be able to locate an obituary for the person named in the SSDI, so I can determine if she is "our" Ann. If anyone is interested in more information on any of these people, I have more. My "snail mail" address is: 932 Lawrence Avenue, Lawrence, KS 66049.

This information was gained from researching Death records of family members.
