Title: Frederick A. Onstott Jr (1915-1981) - Gridley, Butte, Ca.
Post by: Printer on Tuesday 16 September 25 02:47 BST (UK)

Hello,

I am wondering if someone might be able to obtain a copy of a newspaper article please.

On 19 May 1981, Frederick Arthur Onstott Jr (1915-1981) was on his way home, when he was struck by a train, in Gridley, Butte, Ca., and died.

An article about the accident appeared on the front page of The Gridley Herald (22 May 1981), incl a photo. FindAGrave has a death notice, which indicated the accident.

I would very much like to obtain a copy of this full article please, if someone is able to obtain a copy.

Thank you.

Printer.
