The UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento was established at the old Sacramento County Hospital property in the 1970s. When the County sold the University the property no provision was made for the County Hospital Cemetery.

Hi Evelyn,
Here is the email address for Diane at the Riverside library. She has always
been very helpful in looking up obits. Did you say you had some death dates?

Having found cousins & brothers, Leigh A. and William J. SMITH (both
born in Michigan) in Helmet, of course I have questions.

farmers.
Leigh and Maude SMITH have 2 children, ages 13 (born MI) & 10 (born CA)
