Download or read book Mare Island Cemetery written by Peggy O'Drain and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author brings to life the stories beneath the tombstones of one of the oldest naval cemeteries in the United States. While the first burial was in 1856, the cemetery was not declared a naval cemetery until 1858, and was closed in 1921, with a few burials of officers allowed later by pre-arrangement. These stories shared by the author do not only offer glimpses of individual lives during a specific phase of American history but offer insight into an often turbulent, shifting time of change in naval history during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Download or read book Gravestone Choices written by Elaine F. Foster and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gravestones from the Mare Island Naval Cemetery were recorded, compared, and analyzed for evidence of a connection between the choice of gravestone style, material, or location with five aspects of identity: age, sex, occupation, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. The cemetery is separated into six sections, labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F. Data on gravestone style, material, and location were collected during two public cultural resources surveys in collaboration with the City of Vallejo. Historical research supplemented the data gathered on site. Data was gathered for all 903 gravestones within the cemetery. Analysis of these data included a spatial analysis of maps pertaining to the five aspects of identity and statistical analysis using chi-square and Cramer's V to determine the level of association between two variables. The spatial analysis indicates that individuals with a monthly income of $90.00 or more as well as individuals of a higher ranking occupation were located at the top of the hill in the cemetery in Section A and the top of Section C. Section A, at the top of the hill, also contained the most youth (age 17 and younger). These data suggest these areas were reserved for high ranking or upper-class individuals and their families. Statistical analysis indicated that none of the aspects of identity had a strong influence on the choice of gravestone material or style, which suggests an equality in death regarding style and material.
