Biographical or other information about the person

https://mills-sfv.com/Genealogy/GLS/People/Text/175337.txt

Kathleen was initially a bit of a mystery as I could not find her in any death index or registry, even after I figured out who she was.

It did help that she is buried next to her parents, although nothing on her marker indicates her relationship to them or her maiden name. What straightened me out was that when I found one of her older sisters had the same married name she had, it led me to her husband, so I figured out she was his first wife, I didn't realize that she was his first wife and also his second wife's sister. Once I figured that out I realized she showed up in the England censuses of 1891 and 1901, but no one had ever bothered creating a family search record for her until I did a couple of days ago.

I am assuming (with 99% probability if not better) that she was buried in the same defunct cemetery in Saint Louis, Missouri, that her parents were buried in (see her father's record for more information on that cemetery). I can't prove it because I cannot find her death certificate, but I am pretty sure that was the case. The Forest Lawn records indicate she was reinterred in her present location just six days before her parents were, over 39 years after her death.

At this point the only mystery to me is where she died. Her family and her husband were both living in Saint Louis in 1909 and 1910, but I cannot find her in the Missouri death records, although it is possible she is there under some horribly mangled name. She does not show up in California records, although there would be no reason for her to show up as her family had no connection to California in 1909. She does show up in the Los Angeles City death certificates list for that date, but those death certificate lists only show that a person who died on that date had their body processed through Los Angeles at some time, the actual list itself that she shows up on has her name added at the bottom, in this case I am pretty sure her name was added in 1948.

On a long shot I checked to see if she died in England, and I had no luck with that either. It is possible she died while traveling, or perhaps had some wasting disease and died in a sanatarium somewhere and her body was shipped back to Saint Louis for burial, and then decades later, to Glendale, California.

I'm thinking there is probably an obit or a newspaper article somewhere that mentions what happened to her, but at the moment, I don't have a subscription to any of those services. I might put her on a list to look into the next time I have one of those subscriptions.
