Remains at the new parlors of Suhr & Wiebeldt, 1465 Valencia St., between 35th and 26th Sts.
(unidentified obituary clipping found in family album, appears to be from a San Francisco, CA newspaper)
He was buried about 30 Apr 1916 in USA, Kansas, Osage Co., Osage City. 1907 To 1916 he was a Rancher in USA, California, Gridley.142 Oct 1, 1878 to Nov 21, 1906 he was a Pumper for The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company in USA, Kansas, Osage Co., Osage City.139 Louis Edward Duval's father is said to have died about 1858 when Louis was eight years old. It is thought that he had five uncles, but so far no family records has been discovered. He immigrated with his mother Josephine to America when he was either 19 or 24 (the 1910 census says 1869, the 1900 census says 1874, there are two possible immigration records, see note). They lived in New York for two years where Josephine engaged in millinery work. They decided to move to the Kansas territory. Upon reaching Kansas his mother contacted typhoid fever and died. Louis filed his intention to naturalize on 3 Sept 1877 while in Saline Co., Kansas.
Louis settled in Osage City, Osage Co., Kansas, where he worked for the Santa Fe Railroad as a pumper from 1878 to 1906. It was there he met Mary Catherine Guizlo. They married on 6 July 1881. Louis and Mary had four children, three of which lived to adulthood. They resided in Osage City until her death in 1905.
After his wife's death, Louis moved to California. In 1910 he was living in a boarding house in the Canal Precinct of Merced Co. working as a fireman. His employee's certificate from the RR was mailed in 1912 to Newman, CA. (There is a Newman in Stanislaus County).
Louis then moved to Butte Co. in northern California where he purchased a tract of land in Gridley Colony No. 5. He improved the property and made his home there for the greater part of the time. On April 15, 1916 he was injured in a runaway accident near Manzanita and received a fracture of the right arm. Because the shock of the accident seriously affected his health, his son brought him to San Francisco where the family could take care of him. Eight days later, on 23 April, 1916, Louis died after taking a short walk near the home of his daughter Adele.
He had been a member of Osage Lodge, No. 82 I.O.O.F. of Kansas, and Signal Lodge, No. 41, F. an A.M.

Albert left his wife and sons sometime after 1920, as he is still enumerated with his family during that census. A letter sent to his sister Adele complained of "a life of hell." No information on why he felt that way and disappeared. As far as I know, relatives never saw him again, though they kept in touch with his wife and children.
