I believe that the "Fruitvale" you want is a part of Oakland. The "Fruitvale" in Kern Co. was until recently a
farming community only. No numbered streets.
Check with Funeralnet

Then type in (CA - Oakland - Alameda Co.) 15 showed up.
You can call or fax one of the funeral homes. There is
one on Fruitvale Ave. Ask who might have the records from
Arthur A. Barber & Co. from 1915. You should be able to
find out more information. Lots of luck.
