This is a tremendous
Resource. The search function works just great,
pay particular close attention to hits that say
"Advertisement" this is where the Birth,
Marriage & Death Lists are located.
Gridley,
Abbreviations
d/n = Death Notice, some
information, not usually very much.
f/n = Funeral Notice, some
information, in the old newspapers these can be
either Obituaries, or just a listing of when and
where the funeral was held. It might also
include 'Visitors'.
nart = News Article,
Accidents, Suspicious Deaths, etc
The 1920's and 1930's
Edition's of the Gridley Herald were very
difficult to read, the notices were never in the
same place, many times the columns were
staggered. If you find anything that does not
look complete, please let me know and I will see
if I can find the rest of the Article.
The early Edition's also did
not [in many cases] include given names of
married women, when these are found, I have
listed them thus: Smith, C A [Mrs]
Quite a few of
the images from the 1980's and 1990's were
scanned when the newspaper was either folded or
on a spindle. At least one edge is curved, but
for the most part, the data can be figured out.
I do not have access to any other images. It is
possible that the Volunteers at the
Paradise Genealogical Society could do
lookups, but they charge for their services.
The dates alongside of the names are the dates of publication and range between 1922 and 2005.
2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012 Obituaries can be gleaned from the
Gridley Herald.
Obituary Lookups: Send query to Martha.

Date of Death must be included, if it is not, I will delete the request.

Two deaths on the railroad were reported yesterday. One was that of an old man named Thomas Armsden, who was run over near Summit Station by a westbound train. he was employed as flagman for some carpenters who were repairing the snowsheds, but just how it happened that he got in the way of the train nobody knows. The other case was that of a girl named Silva, about 11 years of age, whose parents live in Nelson, Butte County. She was killed by the Marysvile local northbound train on Wednesday evening, about four miles from Nelson. It is supposed the girl was asleep on the track at the time the train struck her, as no other reason can be given by the trainmen for the accident. She had been out herding cattle for her father.
