Deb, The Alameda county death record shows Mary ( S or L) Silveria, 65 years old ,widowed, born Azores, died 4 May 1902 of pneumonia.
She is buried at St Mary's cemetery in Oakland on 6 May 1902 Section 1 spaces 15-6-6 from St Joseph's parish Oakland The middle initial on the county record is definitly an L in script, different from the S of Silveira, but it's transcribed as an S in the St Mary's burial records. This is common to see confusion in transcription between the L, the S, and the F from older records.
