Sadie Flynn

1871 - 1913  (42 years)

• Name	Sadie Flynn  [1]
  	According to son George F.'s entry in the California death index his mother's maiden name was "Salem." This is probably an erroneous transcription of "Flynn." Capital F's and S's can look quite similar, and a double n could look like an m. There is an "L" in the middle of both of them.
  Born	1869-1871	New Jersey, USA   [2, 3, 4, 5]
  	Sadie's 1900 San Francisco County enumeration indicates her birth in August 1870, in New Jersey. Sadie's 1910 San Joaquin County enumeration indicates that she was age 41, calculating to an approximate birth year of about 1869, also in New Jersey. The record of Sadie's burial at Stockton Rural Cemetery after her death on 20 January 1915, indicates her age at death as 42, calculating to a birth year of about 1873. This date, however, was in error, as the official death register lists her death as the same day, but in 1913. Sadie's death certificate states her age as 42 and her birth year as 1871.
  Gender	Female
  Emigration	1880  [5]
  	Sadie's death certificate indicated that she had been a resident of California for 33 years, or since roughly 1880.
  Residence	1910-1913	Stockton State Hospital, Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, USA   [5]
  	Sadie's death certificate indicated that she had been residing at her place of death (State Hospital) for 2 years and 11 months.
  Died	3 Dec 1913	Stockton State Hospital, Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, USA   [2, 5]
  	Sadie's cause of death was "chronic nephritis," or inflammation of the kidneys. A contributing factor was "arthritis deformans" of 25 years duration--or since she was 17. Arthritis deformans is defined as "a chronic arthritis marked by deformation of affected joints. [Merriam Webster] or Rheumatoid Arthritis [Random House]. Conflict: Information from Stockton Rural cemetery was that Sadie was buried on 20 January 1915 in the William K. Walker burial plot. However, her California death certificate clearly states that her death was on 3 December 1913 and that she was buried at "Hospital cemetery." This suggests that her husband may have moved her at the later date to his father's burial plot. It should be noted that information from Stockton Rural Cemetery is, by policy, given only orally and no documents are provided.
  Buried	Stockton State Hospital Cemetery, Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, USA   [6]
  	The Stockton Rural Cemetery records indicate Sadie's death/burial on 20 January 1915, while her California death certificate states that her death occurred on 5 December 1913 and that she was buried in the "Hospital cemetery." This suggests that her husband may have moved her to the family burial plot in January 1915, where she apparently rests today.
