I called the cemetery (916-443-8598) today, 12 Feb 2013, and spoke with a secretary who looked up John's burial record for me. His cremated ashes are buried in a section of the cemetery named 'Infant' which according to the gal I spoke with is just a name and does not have to do with infancy apparently. She told me John was 78 years old at death; from NY; single (I believe he and Mamie were divorced); died 21 May 1932 and ashes buried 29 Jun 1932.) David H.

• Notes

  Research of the late Marguerite Carpenter, MC105570652@cs.com, on this line She writes in Nov 1993 that John Henry "Rosie" Drollinger was born in July 1853 or 54. He had siblings in NYC, Frank, Gustave, Albert, Mrs George Beck. He had a bitter divorce so the children never spoke of his family. She found John, Ernestina, Gustave, Mary, Frank and Albert in the 1870 living with a Thomas Drolinger (single L) in the town of New Lots, PO East New York. Thomas born Bavaria. On 13 Nov 1993 Margurite wrote Rosie and Mamie had a bitter divorce passed down to the children. Consequently little was said by Florence (Drollinger) about her father or mother. Her father, John Henry, had custody but had to have help in their care. The divorce probably happened in 1897 1899 but she couldn't locate a record of it. Drollinger, John H. - bartender Plumas House Plumas County, CA 1885 Directory DHD email 12 Feb 2013 to GLD Ok, mystery solved. I was able to make contact this morning with the cemetery. She looked up his file. As I suspected, it is the grave of John Henry "Rosie" Drollinger and not an infant. John was cremated and his ashes were buried in a section of the cemetery called 'Infant' (which according the gal I spoke is just a name and does not have to do with infancy - sounds strange and goofy to me, but whatever...it isn't my cemetery and I'm not the one to name everything). She said he was 78 years old at death; from NY; single (I believe he and Mamie were divorced); died 21 May 1932, ashes buried 29 Jun 1932.
