Executive Dies
Jasper J. Spurlock, vice-
president of the California Horo-
logical Association, died yester-
day at his home, 301 S. Witmer
St., after a short illness. Funer-
al services will be conducted to-
morrow at 12:30 p.m. at the Wee
Kirk o' the Heather, Forest
Lawn Memorial Park. Burial
there will follow. He leaves his
widow.
This short obituary for my paternal grandfather provided little genealogical information, not even the name of his widow. But it did give the information that he was vice-president of the California Horological Association. I knew that he had been a member of the organization but didn't know that he had served in a leadership capacity. It also confirms his home address as listed on his death certificate.
