California death?
« on: Monday 24 April 23 11:48 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone

Can anyone assist?  Lamont Vincent Stewart died in Los Angeles, California on 29th September 1975.  I am trying to determine a date and place of death of his wife, who may or may not have pre-deceased him.  Of course, she may not have died in California either, although they were residents there for decades.  Her name was Henrietta Isabella Stewart, (nee Purfield) and had been born in 1884 in Michigan.

Many thanks for reading my query.

Regards
Stuart McDonald

I've not seen the newspaper notice, but I had the rough data.  Thanks for this extra titbit!
