Age 72. Burial 4 Feb 1906.

The only evidence that I have that Lizzie Allen, daughter of William Klees, exists is as follows. I cannot find this couple in any federal census. Another researcher posted these burials, apparently from cemetery records. Evidence for connecting Lizzie Allen to her parents:

**1850 federal census, page 193 (stamped), #1239-1301, Sacramento City, Sacramento County, California: Elizabeth A. Klees, age 15, female, in household headed by Margaret Klees, age 35 (on February 11, 2019, this family was indexed as "Klun" on familysearch.org)
**"Sacramento Daily Record-Union" , August 23, 1881, obituary of Margaret Seymour (1815-1881), "Her daughters . . Mrs. John Allen, of Butte Mountain" [“Pacific Bank Hand Book of California" (Copyright, 1888, by Pacific Bank, San Francisco, Cal.) “Plumas County” section, page 73: “Among the highest mountain peaks in Plumas are Butte Mountain, . . .”]
**"Sacramento Daily Union", November 24, 1897, obituary of Eugene Seymour (1855-1897), "brother of . . . Mrs. John F. Allen of Tulare" [actually half-brother]
**"The Sacramento Evening Bee", April 23, 1903, obituary of John Klees (1832-1903) "brother of . . . Mrs. Lizzie ALLEN"
**"The Sacramento Union", December 21, 1917, obituary of Nebraska Klees (1849-1917) mentions sister Mrs. Sonoma Pixley, does not mention sister Mrs. John (Lizzie) Allen, presumably Lizzie Allen is deceased.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (which may or may not be the above Elizabeth A. Klees, age 15 in 1850):

“Sacramento Daily Union” newspaper, Monday, September 5, 1859, page 5:
“MARRIED.
