I am searching for information about the life of Charles Horace SNOW - born May 1 1877 Lower Lake, Lake, CA - died Dec 1967 Napa, Napa, CA.

Charles was son of George Horace SNOW (born 1844-died aft 1936) and Annie Elizabeth Smith (born 1846 ,,MO)

Charles was married to Mable 'Halla' Nunley about 1900. Mable was born 1880 - died May 9 1939 Lower Lake, Lake, CA.

Charles & Mable had a daughter, Thelma J (SNOW) VANWINKLE born Dec 29 1900 - died Jun 27 1999 Sonoma, Sonoma, CA

Charles is my 1st cousin, 3 times removed. He was a blind author of over 400 western books mostly published in England. I can not find a biography on him.

Spotts

I am trying to track down any living descendants of the Spotts family who lived in Napa County about a century ago and gave their name to St. Helena's Spottswoode Winery. I hope to discover the present location of the remains of Rear Admiral James Hanna Spotts, USN (1822-1882), the founder of the family. Admiral Spotts' body was cremated at Woodlawn Cemetery in Colma on 13 August 1921, and that is where the trail goes cold. Thank you very much!

Frances Elizabeth HARRIS WALKER
21 July 2005
Frances Elizabeth HARRIS WALKER died in the fall of 1859, either in Yountville, Napa Co. or Sacramento. We have had lots of help trying to locate her place and exact time of death and where buried, for several years, but no luck so far.

She isn't buried in any of the cemeteries in Napa County. Her family has a large plot in Yountville (Presley F. Harris, etc.), so my question is:

Are there any funeral home records in Napa county or the Sacramento area for 1859? Or is there any other place to search?

The Sacramento Bee apparently never listed a death notice. Her husband Robert H. WALKER, moved to Oregon in 1860 with their children . I have been to the Napa County Genealogical Society, the California State Library and Tulcohey and Napa cemeteries.

Thanks for helping.

EDDINGTON/EDINGTON, Susan Adella
born 4 April 1873 in Napa or Mendocino county
died 31 March 1890 in Dayton County, Washington
Daughter of James A. and Ellen (SCOTT) EDDINGTON

I am looking into the possibility that EDDINGTON family members made a trip by train from Missouri to California in 1872 or 1873.

This article leads me to believe that such a journey would have been possible for them then.
