Hi Marek, The Siskiyou County Library Home page has a link to Obituary index. There is an obit in the Siskiyou News 6/10/1915 for Amelia Francis. Perhaps you could contact them, or request a copy from SKS on Siskiyou Message Board
Siskiyou County Library; 719 4th St. Yreka, California 96097 (530) 841-4175 -- [email protected]. Siskiyou County has many good genealogical resources, and the county office staff is very helpful. The Siskiyou Pioneer and Yearbook, a publication of the Siskiyou County Historical Society has a Hawkinsville Edition, 2004. In it a paragraph describes the 1905 Great Feast of the Holy Ghost. A Flower Girl in the procession is an Olivia Francis. In 1919, Frank Francis is on the committee of the I.D.E.S. sponsored celebration. I understand the Penecost celebration continues today in Hawkinsville. Good luck with your search.
