2) Family tradition has it that she was the first white child born in Mendocino Co., California, which is how she got her name.
3) Information about her death day/place. Also included with the data was a copy of a handwritten unsigned note: "Aunt Girlie was telling us that when she was 5 years old [1888?], William Randolph Hearst and his manager and their two secretaries and all the lackeys necessary to set up camptents, cooking area, horse wranglers and such, came down the coast from Monterey camping along the way. By the time they reached Gorda the secretaries and their two bosses were tired of camping and approached Grandmother (Mendocino) to see if they might rent rooms and stay at the ranch house a couple of days. Grandmother talked to them until she "got the picture" and refused to let them stay, altho they had 6 bedrooms. Then they told her they were almost out of food so she asked them to dinner & breakfast. Hearst remarked that the area was as beautiful as the Riveria. (Girlie ran in to ask her mother what the Riviera was.) The only reason the castle wasn't built there was because they found so many hidden rocks in the bay that they couldn't make a harbor there.".
4) 1936, Burial: Buried at Mansfield Cemetery, King City, California.
