I have family that most likely died in Alna. In 1930 Gertrude Dunton and her brother Frank Brann were both living in Alna with their sister Mae and her husband Ben Rankins. If any, or all, died in Alna how would I find out about their deaths? I live in a big city and I would just go to the library but there doesn't seem to be one in the general area. Or can anyone tell me what cemeteries I might check and how to reach them? Is there an Alna Town Clerk? Help! All suggestions welcome!

I can't help you with the cemeteries. The Alna cemetery I have visited is on Findagrave.
Manning Patterson had a wife named Mary Jane Lowell before he married Mary Trask. Mary Lowell died 3 Feb. 1850, at Alna. She is the mother of Andrew Lowell Patterson. There were many Lowells at Alna.

Thanks for checking but this isn't the Gertrude Dunton I'm looking for. I believe she died before 1940 but I know she had only one child, a son named Walter. He was an infant in the 1900 census and I never found him again.
