Looking for any information on my late mother's paternal
grandparents. Their names were Thaddeus A. Mason and Mattie Mason(her maiden name was Martha Richie and she was from
Newberg,New York) Would like to know their date of births,
marriage and his date of death. I already know that she died
March 21, 1917 but not sure if it was in Grass Valley, or in
San Francisco as she is buried in Colma. Thank you!
