The Stanislaus County clerk, at

has her listed as " MCCAPES, MARTHA F AKA LANKFORD ", but no explanation for the AKA.
If you can find the Funeral home in an on-line telephone book, you could try to write to them. They might have records. If they do, they might be willing to forward a note to those people. They would probably not be willing to send you names and addresses of living people, for privacy's sake. If you write, a small donation ($5 or so) would not be out of line, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope would be a must.
I have no relation to Martha. I live in Stanislaus County. A lady on another forum did me an enormous favor, which I could not repay, so she asked me to do something nice for someone else. I went to the library and read microfilm until I was dizzy.
