Tip Toe through the Cemetery

I was beginning to find obituaries on the Jones family and learned that many of them were buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma. I sent off a letter to see if I might get lucky.

The cemetery sent me a bunch of xeroxed cards. I sifted through them and found Thomas Jones by himself. And, then I found Margaret Jones! They were not buried together.

Margaret died 13 Jul 1889. The baby who died at the same time was named Francis (not Clara!). The part of the story was checking out, but I didn't have any other details about Margaret. The problem I had was verifying this was Thomas' Margaret and not another Margaret who married into the family.
