From: Sue Silver [mailto:ssilver1951@jps.net] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 8:13 AM To: CASCLARA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CASantaClara] Old Sacramento County Hospital Cemetery Greetings, While working on construction for their new Cancer Center this past Tuesday, UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento unearthed two sets of human remains from the old Sacramento County Hospital Cemetery. Despite the fact that both the county board of supervisors and the medical center knew the cemetery was there, the county transferred the land to the center in 1973. Davis intends to call these "archaeological remains" instead of bodies from the old cemetery. In this way they may be able to circumvent California law that requires certain steps be taken to relocate remains such as these. The county should have relocated the cemetery to another cemetery before handing the property over to UC Davis. Instead, now thirty years later, UC Davis claims to be surprised to have "solved" the mystery of the missing hospital cemetery! Please help me to persuade the county and the medical center to follow California law so that these past citizens of California will get a decent reburial elsewhere. There are about 57 other old county hospital cemeteries elsewhere in California that have the potential to suffer this same fate. Please cut and paste the following message and send to Sacramento County District 2 Supervisor Illa Collin at collini@saccounty.net . You can also fax it to her at (916) 874-7593. Or you can call her office at (916) 874-5481. ********************************************* Honorable Illa Collin, District 2 Supervisor County of Sacramento 700 H Street, Suite 2450 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Supervisor Collin: I have learned about the "discovery" of the old County Hospital Cemetery during the construction of the new wing of the UC Davis Cancer Center on Stockton Blvd. I understand the County should have relocated the entire cemetery before transferring this land to UC Davis, but didn't. Please help ensure that the remains that the county buried in its hospital cemetery are properly respected. Please work with UC Davis to relocate all the bodies as required by California Health and Safety Code section 8000 et seq. Sincerely, [Your Name, Address, phone number and Email address.] *********************************************** Thank you for your assistance on this very important matter.
