My mom's sister, Della Estelle Graham-Reid, is buried in Madera County. We lived in Chowchilla when I was born in Merced.

6/04/2011 Linda Pollock shared:
Aunt Della is buried in Madera County, California. Larry's (son) wife said there were 3 graves sites that belong to the Reid's. She was killed in a car wreck in Chowchilla, CA. She died the same year I was born, 1944.

6/14/2011 Per Arbor Vitae Cemetery office
Della Estella Reid is buried in the cemetery: Block 5, Row 5, Plot J. Office verified birth/death dates. Name in records: Della Estella Reid.

6/15/2011 Cemetery Hopper reported problem:
Searched the stated plot/section and could not find the grave. Found both neighboring markers, Amador and Creighton, that the office told me about but there is no marker where Della's is supposed to be.

6/15/2011 Per Arbor Vitae Cemetery office:
The cemetery district was formed in 1946 and now requires grave stones. There wouldn't have been that requirement at the time of Della's death in 1944. The cemetery office does not know whether or not a stone was placed and does not have an obituary. Cemetery office shared:
a) Funeral home was: Madera Funeral Home. Office stated they are owned under a different name and have sparce records.
b) Newpaper was Madera Tribune, if an obituary was ran.
