Message Board Post:
Hi,
Does anyone know of any lists of people who were buried along the Truckee Trail (between
Placerville, CA & Salt Lake City, UT)? I'm seeking out the burial place of my
great grandmother, Elizabeth ARNOLD nee BLISS (married to Josiah ARNOLD). She was listed
on the 1850 US Census outside Placerville and our family lore has it that she died in
December of 1850 on her way back to Salt Lake City from Placerville.
I have been unsuccessful in finding any solid evidence of either her death or burial place
but feel a special connection with her and would really like to bring flowers to her and
mark her grave (if it is currently unmarked).
I have exhausted El Dorado (and surrounding counties) resources and also the LDS records
(as she was an early Mormon). Thank you for any suggestions you may have on how to locate
her remains.
Warmly,
Kristin Rivers
