Grandma Pearl was born about 1892 based on her marriage certificate. She was married on 18 Jan 1911 to Victor Erastus Lund. According to my MIL her father was William and her mother was Ada. She lived in Plain City, UT and died when my husband was a young boy. That's it!
First, I hoped to verify the dates for Pearl's birth/death. Since I knew that Edith died in Plain City, I searched for her gravestone on FindAGrave.com.
In addition to the gravestone, another user "Burnt Almond Fudge" added the picture of William's Death Certificate. So I tracked it down myself. With these three finds, I now have a lot more information about Pearl and her parents...in fact, I now know her paternal grandparents' names. Score!
