Since you have Alta's death date, and know where she died, you can obtain a copy of her death certificate, which should show the names and birth locations of her parents.That information will only be as accurate as the knowledge of the informant, but it should have her Social Security number, and with that you also can obtain a copy of her application for her Soc Sec number.She would have filled that out herself and should have her parents names.
From SSDI (Soc Sec Dth Idx):
Grover Maynard, b 15 Oct 1893; d Nov 1969; last residence Raleigh, Wake Co, NC; SS card issued in NC.
You can do the same procedures for Grover, also.Alta just died too early to be on the computerized online SSDI, it begins about 1963.
Once you have the names of their fathers, you can check the 1900 census for the Maynard and Yates families.It is a good census for research information, and you will be on your way to lots of fun. (^_^) Happy Hunting.
