Love your blog; California history between ...Hello! Love your blog; California history between 1870-1940 AND old/historical cemeteries have been a passion of mine since I was a child and 50-something years later, I still explore them whenever possible. As I live in Southern California, I have yet to be able to visit Mountain View, so your marvelous photos and interesting bios are dearly appreciated. Another passionate interest of mine is motion pictures from the beginning of the silent era to circa 1940. A quiet favorite of mine is Sydney Ayres. I am responsible his brief IMDb page biography from which Wikipedia derived its information. I have a copy of his death certificate and his cause of death is as described in the IMDb biography: paralysis associated with multiple sclerosis affecting the spinal cord. Hope this has been of some assistance to you. Keep up the wonderful work on your fascinating blog!<br /><br />Best Always~<br />MelissaMelissahttp://www.rossalexanderchronicle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
