There is a mention in the Oakland newspaper that Mr. & Mrs. Howard M. Hansbrow (nee Reid) honeymooned in Cazadero.

I found articles about Clara Elizabeth Hansbrow's death and funeral in the Oakland Tribune.  It said she died suddenly while her husband was at work and an autopsy found her death was due to heart disease.  It said she was a teacher in the Alameda School Department prior to her marriage.  It said she was a prominent member of the First Baptist Church and was in charge of the primary class of Sunday School.  She was survived by her parents and 2 sisters, Mrs. H.L. Kemp and Mrs. G.R. Preston.  Cremation followed the funeral.
