Hi Linda,

Did manage to confirm that date and place of death for William von Breyman as
follows:

THE DAILY COLUSA SUN (Calif.)
Wednesday, 17 April 1901, page 1:
"Cortina Postmaster Passes Away - Wm. A. Von Breyman, an old and respected
citizen of Cortina, died suddenly Tuesday morning. The deceased has been the
Cortina postmaster for years. He was 65 years of age."

I'm also mailing you a copy.

Nancy in Sacramento

The first of my g-grandfathers was:

William Adolphus George von Breyman(n)

Now whether that is the name that was in the obituary or not, I do

not know! I'd rather doubt it would have the full name. He is

buried in Arbuckle, Colusa County; however Colusa County has

no record of his death! I have a "copy" of the family Bible page

that is in some other branch of the family, and it lists his death

date as 16 April 1901 in Cortina, Colusa County. However, again,

there's no such place! Earlier in his life he did have a business

in Sacramento, and it was there he met my g-grandmother.
