Despite the fact that Edna Gertrude Bourland aka Gertrude Edna Bourland has her name on the same grave marker as Claude Woods, Sr., it appears that she is NOT buried in the Farmington Memorial Cemetery. She is most likely buried in the Paskenta Cemetery in Tehama County, CA. See her obituary below, which appeared on page 5, column 1, of the 8 Aug 1973 edition of the "Red Bluff Daily Newspaper":

"CORNING - Mrs. Gertrude Edna Bourland, 83, a former longtime Stockton resident, died Monday night in a Red Bluff convalescent hospital.
A native of Susanville, Mrs. Bourland had made her home on Simpson Road for five years.
She is survived by two sons, Loyal W. Hodgson, Corning, and William E. Boring, Los Angeles; six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Funeral servies will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, in Hall Brothers Chapel. Burial will be in the Paskenta Cemetery."

What follows is additional information about Gertrude Edna Bourland.

Edna is in the California Death Index as Gertrude E. Bourland. She was born on 22 Feb 1890 in California and she died on 6 Aug 1973 in Tehama County, CA.

Edna is in the Social Security Death Index as Edna Bourland. She was born on 22 Feb 1890 and she died in Aug 1973. Her last residence of record was in San Francisco, San Francisco County, CA, 94110. She was issued her social security number in 1965 while living and/or working in California.

Edna is in the 1900 federal census as Edna G. Woodstock. She and her family were then living in Township 1 in Lassen County, CA. The head of the family was Loyal Woodstock, who was 73 years old (born in Ohio in Apr 1827 and a landlord. His wife was Elizabeth Woodstock, who was 51 years old (born in Ohio in Jul 1848) and who had given birth to 11 children (9 of whom were still alive). Loyal and Elizabeth had been married 25 years. There were two children in the home: Warren (13, born in California in Sep 1886) and Edna G. (10, born in California in Feb 1890).

Per kssheets5 on Ancestry.com, Gertrude Edna Woodstock's parents were Loyal Willard Lee Woodstock (1827-1906) and the former Elizabeth Gavette McWilliams (1848-1927).

Per kssheets5, Gertrude Edna Woodstock married Victor Hodgson on 4 Dec 1909 in Waterloo, Black Hawk County, Iowa.

Edna is in the 1910 federal census as Gertrude Hodgson. She just been recently married. She was then 20 years old and a native of California. (Edna was six months pregnant when enumerated on 28 Apr 1910.) Interestingly, she mistakenly listed her father's birth state as Minnesota and he listed it as Ohio in the 1900 federal census. Edna's new husband was not in the home. Warren Frank Woodstock, Edna's brother, was still in the home. He was now 23 years old, a native of California, and a laborer. The head of the household was Elizabeth Woodstock. She was 61 years old, a widow, a person with her "own income," and the mother of 11 children, 8 of whom were still living. Also in the home was Sarah (a daughter who had been married 11 years) and her husband Steve and their two children. The family was living in the Hall Town Precinct of Township 1, Lassen County, CA. (Edna's husband Victor Hodgson was in Douglas, Dakota County, Minnesota, at the time of the 1920 federal census. He was listed as married in this census. In the 1930 federal census, Victor listed his marital status as single.)

Per kssheets5, Loyal Hodgson was born on 27 Jul 1910 in Susanville, Lassen County, CA. It seems fair to conclude that the former Gertrude Woodstock and her husband Victor Hodgson were the parents. It is probably fair to conclude that Victor was not present for the birth and Gertrude and Victor were divorced at sometime shortly thereafter.

Per kssheets5, the former Gertrude Edna Woodstock married Delbert Franklin Boring on 18 Nov 1914 in Butte County, CA.

Edna is in the 1920 federal census as Edna G. Boring. She and her family were living at 711 Franklin Street, San Francisco, San Francisco County, CA. Edna's age is listed as 28 years. She was a native of California. However, she lists her father's state of birth incorrectly as Wisconsin and her mother's incorrectly as Iowa. She is married to Delbert Boring. He is 27 years old, a native of California, and a receiving clerk. There are two children in the family, both of whom were born in California. They are Loyal (9 and named after his grandfather) and William (4) Boring. Based on all the evidence, Loyal's last name should have been Hodgson.

Edna and Delbert divorced after the 1920 federal census. The exact date is not known. Delbert did not die until 1931.

Per kssheets5, the former Gertrude Edna Woodstock married Delbert L. Bourland in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA, on 16 Apr 1928.

Edna is in the 1930 federal census as Edna Bourland. She and her family were living at 4315 60th Street in Huntington Park, San Antonio Township, Los Angeles County, CA. Edna is listed as being 38 years old and a native of California. Her husband Delbert Bourland was listed as being 49 years old, a native of California, and having been married first at the age of 21 years. He was working as a switchman for the Santa Fe Railroad Company. In the home was Edward Boring, a stepson to Delbert Bourland. Edward was 14 years old. He is obviously the same person as the William in the 1920 federal census. Loyal was not in the home. (It appears that Delbert was not his real name. He registered for the World War II draft in 1942 and gave his true name as Dewbart Lee Bourland, his place of birth as Valley Springs, Texas, and his date of birth as 10 Sep 1879. In addition, he had divorced Edna by that time and married his fourth wife, the former Elsie Enora Reed. He registered for the draft in 1918 during World War I and he gave his true name as Dewbert Leigh Bourland. He was then married to Lovah Winona Finch McFarland.)

Edna appears to the be the 1938 Los Angeles, CA, city directory as Mrs. Gertrude Bourland. She was living by herself at 4606 Pickford. Delbert (as D. L. Bourland) is listed separately and he was living in another community.

Edna may have been in San Mateo County in 1940. There is a Mrs. Edna G. Bourland who registered for the Nov 1940 election while living at 1810 Ivy Street in the city of San Mateo. She registered as a Democrat. There is no Mr. Bourland in that precinct register.

In an article in the Tuesday, 2 Dec 1969, edition of the Daily News of Red Bluff, CA, it is noted that Edna Bourland was a newly admitted patient to the Corning Memorial Hospital. She was living in Corning, CA, at the time. She was also mentioned as a newly-admitted patient in the 25 Nov 1969, 4 Feb 1970, and 2 Oct 1970 editions of the same newspaper.
