Emma Sarah Gudgel death record


Click on picture to get a full page picture.
Death record of Emma Sarah Sevedge Gudgel who moved to California in 1930 where the family became prominent in the area around Chowchilla.  Chowchilla is between Madera and Merced. Edna Townsend her daughter said she was the daughter of Mary Epps and William Sevedge.  I have a picture of William Sevedge with the family but Mary Epps was not in it.  Emma was the oldest child in the picture and I thought she was 16 years old when the picture was taken.  There has been controversy in the family relating to an Indian heritage.  As this picture does not have a picture of Mary Epps there is no way that I know of to confirm if the Indian came through Mary. Someone told me once that they didn't ask Grandma if she was Indian just which tribe.
