This is a pre 1940 look up.

I am trying to find an official death date for a

Malicia Black (also known as melissa and mahlsie on the census records). Her maiden last name is Howard (we are not sure if she was buried under howard or black).

She died at Kern County hospital on January 15, 1937. My cousin told me she was buried at the County cemetery near Bakersfield.

We are also trying to find her sister en law who passed in that area, Josie Black unk. death date. Only know that she passed in Kern County city of Lamont or Bakersfield. Thanks.

From the early CADI:

Black, Molshie
spouse initial: blurry could be a D, G or an O
age: 66 years
County: 15 (Kern)
Date of death: 1/10/1937 (I checked this date under 3x magnification)

Nothing under Howard for Molshie.

Nothing for a Josie Black from July 1905 - 1939. There were several Josephine Blacks but none died in Kern County.

Thank you very much. Now I can order her death certificate, and hopefully offer some answers to my cousins as to what happened to their grandma.

You can order her death certificate here:
