END OF LIFE MYSTERY

At least 4 people contacted me trying to locate Maryo and her heirs regarding mineral rights on land in Oklahoma. They had investigated and could find no record of her death.

Recently Harwell Field Services contacted me, but I could provide no information beyond what I had on the website. They found Maryo had been living as Emma Reidt in court documents according to a probate document for Grady County, OK dated 21 Feb 2018. They kindly shared the document with me so I could have her death date.

Now the mystery, why was Maryo living under another name at the end of her life? The social security record has the correct death date, but the date of birth is different, making her older than she actually was. According to CA birth records, she was born 26 Oct 1934 in Tulare CA. Emma's DOB is 13 Sep 1926.

Maryo's place of residence was 1037 Saint Gertrude Pl, Santa Ana CA, which according to real estate records she owned and purchased around 1990. Her brother, Donald, at some point lived there as a renter. Then Emma C. Reidt is listed as the occupant as a renter. Her occupation was given as Machine Operators, Assemblers, and Inspectors Occupations. The home was sold 21 Dec 2009 according to real estate records. Maryo/Emma died less than one month later.

In the phone book white pages for Santa Ana she was listed as Emma Reidt.

Excerpt from Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, 1984, by Laura W. Mentzel & Ethel S. Updike

He was a Corporal in Company H. of the 35th Infantry in the confederate Army and served during the Civil War. He was wounded in the wrist and side during the battle of Shiloh. At the time of his second marriage he was rather an old man, and it was said that the only reason the young lady married him was that he was getting a pension and she wanted the money. After a while, Hattie S. Tate, his daughter and my grandmother brought him home to her own house and cared for him until his death in 1908.
