Real: Lena Leota and Arthur H.
My paternal great grandmother was named either Leota Lena Real OR LenaLeota Real. I believe it was the first. She was married to Luther Jackson Lambert and the lived in Rocklin, CA, where my grand father was born.
I'd like to know where she came from, any siblings, who her parents were, dates, etc.
Also, I have a San Francisco Chronicle newspaper article dated July 26, 1899 about A.H. (Arthur H.) Real having been killed in a train accident in Clarks, Nevada. He was the engineer on Central Pacific eastbound train #3. Much information on the cause of accident, his employment with Central Pacific and such, but no mention at all of any family. I found that to be rather unusual.
How was he related to Leota? Brother, cousin? Leota's husband Luther was a conductor for Southern Pacific Railroad as was his son (my grand father, P.H. Lambert.
Any insight into this branch of my family tree would be welcomed. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
