Imagine how many worked on Shasta Dam?

VIRTUAL BOUQUETS. by Sheila Tate <>

Thanks to two wonderful RootsWeb sites, Random Acts of Kindness
and Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild (ISTG), I have found my
sister. In 1941, my folks were in Shasta, California. Dad was an
ironworker, working on Shasta Dam. They had three babies, a boy
aged 14 months and twin girls just 5 weeks old. One of the twins
got sick. She was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
Naturally my folks were devastated. They never talked much about
it and time went on and all that us siblings could remember was
that we were told she was buried in Redding in a little casket
with a white teddy bear.

Thanks to David Anderson, who volunteers for lookups in Random
Acts of Kindness for Shasta County, and is also a fellow ISTG
staff member, I have found where and when Marilyn was buried,
David is even sending a death certificate, obituary, and picture
of the gravesite. Thanks to all the wonderful people who made
this possible and a special thank you to David and the people in
Redding, California, who went into their basement archives to
look for the records. My brother, sister, and I will never
forget your kindness.
