Hi Hazel,
According to the CA death index Edward J. Brooks, spouse C, died at age 26
in San Francisco county on July 1, 1928, cert #37524

The San Francisco Main Library has many old San Francisco newspapers on
microfilm. Anyone may write them (via regular mail-NO email) to request a
lookup at no charge. There is a limit of three lookup requests per month for
California residents and one lookup request per month for non-California
residents. You MUST provide the exact date of death.

Provide a name and exact date of death, and include a self-addressed,
stamped envelope. Mail your request to:
Obituary Requests
Newspapers and Magazines Center
San Francisco Public Library, Main Branch
100 Larkin Street
San Francisco, CA 94102-4733

I also did a search of CA newspapers and nothing was noted in the Oakland,
Modesto or Fresno papers about an explosion in June or July 1928....

Have you done any census work? Do you know his parents' names? Siblings?

Colleen

Hello Colleen.. I am not sure if you can give me any more information than
I
already have.. Please let me know if you will need payment for this look up
ahead of time. I am trying to find out information on this person:

PRESIDIO OF SAN
FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94129

I am trying to find out more information for my friend's grandfather. He
died when my friend's father was only 4 years old and the story my friend
heard
was that he died when a broiler exploded on the ship he was on. This guy
looks like he died at the right time and could be the grandfather that we
are
missing. The name is right. Any information you might be able to find on
him
would be greatly appreciated.... not sure what kind of information you can
get and maybe this is the most you would be able to find. Thank you for
any
help you can give. hazel
