Josephine Smith Little
Josephine Smith, b 24 April 1910; Escondido, San Diego California
father: Theron J. Smith, b. July 1844, Macedon, New York
mother: Josephine Rhodes, b. 1872, Stuart, Iowa
In previous research couldn't find a clear identifier of Josephine's marriage and death date. Obituary from her brother Lomax Smith indicated that he was survived by his sisters Thera Smith of Escondido and Josephine Little from La Mesa, California.
Today found her listed in California Death Index for Josephine Little. It listed death date 4 March 1985; mother's maiden name: Rhodes; father's name: Smith, SS# 549-09-5017. This record was found indexed on Rootsweb (http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi). Couldn't find the same record on California Death index on Ancestry.com.
The SSDI on Ancestry.com for the same SS# lists Josephine being a resident of La Mesa when she died.
I made a PDF copy of both records.

FOUND SEPT 9, 2011: I searched newspapers on GenealogyBank.com. I found the obituary for Josephine Little. It said she is survived by her husband Ralph and son Thomas.
ReplyDeleteI looked for information about Ralph Little and found his death information on both California Death and SS Death indexes. I also found his obituary that said he was survived by his son Tom.
