Obit Lookup Request, Salinas newspaper, October 1914: Petrine GYDESON / GYDISON

metaphor — 14 Dec 2008 9:39:49 GMT

Greetings.

I would very much appreciate an obit lookup for:

Petrine GYDESON
age 77
died in Monterey County Oct 21, 1914
Death Certificate 30398

My research goal is to ascertain the whereabouts of her daughter, Dr. May C. E. GYDISON/GYDESON (or married surname) as of Petrine's death in 1914.

Dr. Gydison is to be included in an upcoming exhibit featuring women of Monterey county, and the most recent documented information I have for her is a mention in an 1894 newspaper.

Thanks in advance

Obituary Lookup for Paul Klink

jaheller — 6 Jan 2009 2:07:39 GMT

I know this is a stretch....looking for the obituary of Paul Klink who died between July 1956 and October 1966. He was born about 1894 in Pennsylvania and was living with his sisters in Salinas in 1956 but not listed in his one sister's obituary in 1966. Any help would be appreciated.

Female physician

Torun S. Soknes — 13 Oct 1999 12:00:00 GMT

In connection with a thesis on Norwegian-American female physicians, I have to check out every student with a name that sounds even remotely Norwegian.

I am hoping that someone might be able to establish the origin of one MAY or MARY C. E. GYDISON/GYDESON/GYDESIN for me. She might have been born in Salina(s?), Monterey County, or at least did she live there at one point. She graduated from the (Northwestern University) Woman's Medical College in 1884, and would at this time be at least 21 years of age. She lived and worked in Nebraska for a while after her graduation. She might have lived in Salina too after her graduation. Sometime before 1896 she married a man by the name of PEDERSON, and moved to Norway.

Any info is highly appreciated!

BarbaraCady73 — 17 Aug 2008 3:47:14 GMT

Using the CA birth index, it appears that Harriet Howland
and Mr. Prince had two children born in Monterey County, CA:
John Dudley Prince 13 Jan 1934
Priscilla Howland Prince 21 April 1938.
The death index shows that Harriet died 23 April 1995 in Los Angeles County, CA. Her mother was a Crittenden and
the father a Howland.
Fredrick Thomas Howland was born 1861 in Ontario, Canada
to Frederick A. Howland and Matilda M. Musson.
Matilda is related to my great grandma who was also a Musson.
I would like to learn more about Harriet Howland Price and her brother,Adelbert F. Howland, families ect.

LOOKUP Request: Arthur Ryan

Rawben — 4 Jun 2008 3:16:55 GMT

Seeking any information about a prominent Realtor, ARTHUR RYAN of Pacific Grove, CA. I understand Nancy Borba / Barbe married this prominent realtor Ryan. He was the 2nd or 3rd owner of a house at 255 Oceanview Blvd., which is now a B & B. The current owner states, it all depends on whether you think the Parkes of Parke-Davis Pharmaceuticals were the 1st or 2nd owners. Mr. Ryan owned the house from 1942 until he was committed to Agnew State Hospital. I was given Arthur as a first name by a niece of Nancy's who visited and stayed at the house on more than one occasion. I'm not sure how death records work, when a person onced lived in Pacific Grove, then goes to Agnew in Milipitas, A or Santa Clara County I believe. Not sure what his death record would state. Thank you for any assistance you could provide.

Lookup information on a Nancy RYAN

Rawben — 23 May 2008 3:22:50 GMT

Ok, I received the obit on Nancy Borba/Barbe Ryan Barkalow and I'm so greatful! Now, not sure where to obtain any additional information on her prior to her marriage. She lived in Pacific Grove from 1937 to 1968. I believe she went by the last name of RYAN thru about 1958 (since her husbands obit from 1970 says he was in Pacific Grove for 12 years). She was the the founder of the Peninsula Realty Company and lived in Pacific Grove for 31 years when she passed away in 1968. Any suggestions on where I can obtain any information on her life? We believe she had no children. I'm also stuck on where she's buried. The funeral home says they have no records and the City & cemetery hasn't replied to my emails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)
