I can see anc..try entries for Howard Frame Whitehead born 1913. Murray. Salt Lake. Utah.
A marriage to Iola Inez Ross 1 Jan 1937 Huntington Park. Los Angeles and then a divorce with no date. The California Divorce Index is 1966 - 1984 so that would'nt confirm the divorce date and the Nevada Marriage Index does'nt start until 1956 so I think it is going to be difficult to find those marriage details - assuming this is the same person.  ;D

Where is Mt. Olivet cemetery?  Sometimes, you can find volunteers on www.raogk.org who will take pictures of headstones.  Also, you might want to consider putting a listing up on findagrave.com and request a photo.  I was once successful that way, although it took probably a year for a volunteer to do it.

Hello Irisheyeshine,

This must be for Howard and his wife who are buried at Mount Olivet in Utah.
I think shellyesq suggestion to you is a good one - there is a volunteer listed who will do gravestone pictures - try this link.  ;D
