Contributor: John Wayland Bales (49002583) • john.w.bales@gmail.com, received June 28, 2019. Suggested edit: Re: Merge of 97190022 into 18388387. I placed a call to Hooper & Weaver Mortuary (530) 265-2420. They verified that my Uncle John Rollie Bales is buried in *NEW Elm Ridge Cemetery (18388387) not in OLD Elm Ridge Cemetery. So the 97190022 entry is in error and should be merged with 18388387.
