His parents were John Quincy and Aleene Blodgett Post. Sydney d. 4/29/1957, in San Diego Calif. His obit says he was a Captain in the Fire dept. there, and that he was 51 y/o. (he was within 5 weeks of being 51.) His sister, Vivian, was listed as being a survivor, along with his wife, and two daughters. The obit lists his father as John Q. Post…

This information above the row of asterisks comes from someone very familiar with the POST genealogy. I received this information in February of 2014.

******************************************************
Below the row of asterisks is just various unauthenticated information I received from non POST genealogist sources.

I knew the stone for Sydney Leo Post's mother said ALEENE. I only remarked on the other spellings as I saw several different spellings in various places. Sometimes the stone is wrong; sometimes the cemetery roster is wrong; sometimes the obit is wrong, and sometimes the death certificate is wrong. I just think it helps to find the person If I clarify that there were different spellings. Her name was Allene, Alleen, or Aleene Post, depending on who spelled it. I think we can settle on ALEENE.

Buried at foot of his mother's grave is what one source said.

******************************************************
Regarding the photo of the back of Aleene Post's stone with a flag and some dirt, and the comment that there was no evidence of a grave there...it may have been just his ashes which would not be apparent in the soil, especially not 57 years later.
