      Notes on Newbury Close III

      Newbury Close, 3rd's gravestone

      Hi - Here is a photo of Newbury Close, 3rd's gravestone in the Veteran's area of Oak Hill Cemetery out in Red Bluff, CA. I made contact with some folks that went to the cemetery and took some pictures and looked up some Census info as well.
      They talked to the people at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Red Bluff said Lodema Cynthia Gibson Payne Close is buried there but that it would almost impossible to locate Lodema C. Close's grave because there isn't any headstone. More coming in next email. Sally Meabon

      The youngest daughter of Newbury's, by Lucy Caroline Lockwood is Cora May Close, she married a Sardis D. WIlcox. She was Grandpa Burton’s sister, half sister to Archie Close. She is also buried out there as is her husband and other family members. They did say that in the Wilcox plot there are areas large enough for graves and no markers, so it is possible Lodema Cynthia is buried in this plot. In the 1910 Census for Red Bluff, Lodema (as a widow)age 71, is found living with Sardis (he was a widower)age 59, he was head of the household and a niece, Emma (?writing not clear) Gunderman age 19, was also living there. Cora Close & Sardis Wilcox had at least 1 daughter, Emogene. There is just a flat stone with Emogene on it in the Oak Hill Cemetery in Red Bluff. The plot has Emogene, Cora ???? Sardis ???? . 2 graves with no markers, but also a large monument. with Cora May & Sardis D. Wilcox on one side.

      The Turners from Corning, CA, that have done all this for me, say north of Red Bluff there is a Wilcox Road as well as a Wilcox Golf Course & one of the Census record indicate that Sardis Wilcox raises sheep. They also wrote that Sardis Wilcox lived on a street that has restored Victorian Homes today. Since they have the address they will check the next time they are down to see if the house is still there and take a picture. The Turners have been wonderful help.
