My family (Kent and White) go back more than a century in the Grass Valley area and I'm afraid that most were buried in Greenwood. Any guidance you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I was born in GV as was my mother and her siblings. Only one aunt left now, was just there the other day for my Uncle's services at the Loney/Sanford on McCourtney Rd. The Johnsons have a long list of those who were in this area since the mid 1800's. You have done a great job and should be commended for it, thanks for this great site and keep up the good work. |
| Name: | Judy "Mallory" Holthaus |
| E-mail address: | JHolt@alpinecom.net |
| Comments: | My anc. all went to the gold rush from Iowa. Amasa "Am" H. Mallory had holdings in Red Dog, and his sisters Mary "Mallory" married John Hoad, and Annis "Mallory" married Joel Atherton Stone in Red Dog. I was once told the Mallory's may have had a store in Red Dog. Some of my Mallory's are buried in the Gold Run Cem. and Annis & Joel A. Stone have a child buried there. Joel A. Stone I think belonged to the Red Dog Masonic Lodge, and the Gold Run Lodge. Amasa H. Mallory is buried in the Dutch Flatt Masonic Cem. A niece went to the cem. and a large tree is growing out of his grave. I have an old picture of Amasa H. Mallory. My Mallory family made several trips to the gold rush, and when they went with a team of Oxen my granddad always told us (his granddad Augustus went to the rush told him) "It took Six Months to the day to go from Iowa to Calif." They sailed around the cape a couple of times. When Hydrolic mining was banned Joel (who was a foreman for an English Co.), wife Annis and their children who were lvg. in Gold Run went to Johannisburg, South Africa where Joel was in charge of a Diamond mine. Joel, Annis are buried in South Africa.
I have not located some of the Mallory brothers who are prob. buried in that area of Calif. Alanzo H., Asa H., Alexander H., Joseph Austin Mallory. Joseph Mallory & Amasa I know had share in the Mallory Brothers stamp mill in Gold Run, Calif. I have not been to that Calif. area, but would like to visit there someday. I am still learning more about my Mallory family. I am really enjoying your pages. Thank You |

| Comments: | I am compiling my BEST family tree which originated in Cornwall, UK. My family emigrated to Australia, New Zealand, quite a few States in the USA and Provinces in Canada. I have delighted that I have found some of them in your Grass Valley Odd Fellows Cemetery. I knew they had left Upper Michigan and moved to Nevada County, but the death information was great. Thank you for displaying it on your site.

| Comments: | Several days ago I entered a request for assistance locating
the grave site of James Edward Leopold. I now know he and his son, Raymond, burried four years after the death of James, in the same grave, are ,in the Pine Grove Cemetery, Nevada City. The name on the stone is LEOBOLD. I wonder if a photo was ever taken, and made available on the net. I would appreciate any kind offer of assistance. Thank you Owen McGinn |

| Comments: | Iam attempting to locate the gravesite of a James Edward Leopold, who was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, 1852, and who died in Nevada County in 1894. I n 1898, his son Raymond, then appx.10-11 years of age died of a communicable disease and was interred in the same grave as his father. I wonder if anyone would know where that grave is located, and if there were any obituaries in newspapers relating to one or both. James worked as a ditch tender, and appears in the 1880 census, married to a Hattie Brim. I would be so pleased to receive any information at all. Thank's O.M. |

You have done a fantastic job with all of the cemetaries. I had great-grandparents married in 1870 in Grass Valley. My gggf W.O. Warnock died in Omega in 1854 of consumption and I think he might be in one of your unmarked graves. Thanks again for all of yur work. |

Since I am not visiting California, my friends and cemeteries this year, I have taken a virtual trip through your site. Still my favourite site, and always something new. I am distressed that the vandals are still around. Have they nothing better to do with their time?

| Comments: | Thanks so much for putting this all together. I am searching for the grave of my great great grandfather, Emile Madelaine from Paris, France who committed suicide June of 1880 in French Corral. I have found an article on his death with all the grim details, but cannot find where they buried him. I am still looking but thank you for the site. I did find my Williams ancestors, though I knew they were buried in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Grass Valley.
You have done a great service! Barbara Fuller |
