Download or read book Potter s Field written by Jeremy Dwight Nichols and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the old Sonoma County Cemetery, a place of burial for those who had no family, friends, or money to provide for themselves. "Pauper" cemeteries like this one also served as one of few places where disadvantaged groups could bury their dead; in nineteenth-century California the Chinese were such a group. The history of the cemetery and its eventual abandonment, rediscovery, and restoration is followed by a biographical list of burials in the cemetery. This previously unpublished material is intended for genealogists seeking that distant relation who "went west" and vanished. It is bad enough that these people had to be buried in disgrace. If we can do nothing more for them, we should at least not ignore them. Visit the Chanate Historic Cemetery online at www.chanatecemetery.org

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Santa Rosa Odd Fellows Cemetery is the city's "forgotten cemetery." Between the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery which has become a city park and has a dedicated group of volunteers, and Santa Rosa Memorial Park which is an active, endowed cemetery, Odd Fellows has received little attention. Founded in 1885, the Odd Fellows (IOOF) Cemetery has two sections: the older southeast section is the IOOF Lot Cemetery where "lots" of 12 graves were sold. The newer IOOF Lawn Cemetery is to the northwest and includes the great mausoleum. This book introduces this "forgotten cemetery," provides a selected tour and invites further investigation."--Back cover.

Download or read book Stories in Stone written by Lynn Margaret Fostine and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timeline of the graves in the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery date back to 1854. The family plots, mausoleums, headstones and footstones, and Veteran military grave-markers each tell their own unique "story in stone." World history is revealed in the translation of the calligraphy on the 100 Japanese headstones. United States history is written on the dates and regiments on the military veteran grave-markers. California history is told on the early settlers and pioneer graves. The infant children graves are recognizable by the lambs and angels, and their stories are told in number of days alive, not from dying during a pneumonia or small pox epidemic. Some stories are told in marble, others on wooden boards, and the 1906 earthquake disaster story is told on the Memorial Stone with 17 names and four numbers. The "Rural Cemetery Association" also has its own time-line of events, from its first Trustees filing (1873) the "incorporation" papers to 50 years later (1923) the Trustees not filing for renewal of the "incorporation papers." With no one legally responsible, the non-ownership of the Rural Cemetery resulted in neglect and vandalism. Documented with photographs, the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery timeline, gives the meaning of the symbols, shapes, and the epitaphs written on the different headstones. The Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery timeline is a window of insight into Santa Rosa and Sonoma County's past and is a valuable resource for all to enjoy.--Paraphrased from back cover.
