Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/10428 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Judy - I was in Amador County this past week-end and visited the Volcano Cemetery as well as seeing Larry Cenotto, Archivist for Amador County. He was able to give me copies of newspaper articles and other information which was most interesting. I walked all over the cemetery trying to find Flint's and Silas' graves but no luck. Apparently their grave stones have been destroyed or covered up. In any event, Larry and his assistant were most helpful. I now have a copy from the Friday, Feb. 8, 1907, issue of The Amador Ledger. It is 2 columns and takes the entire length of the page. Flint was, indeed, a prominent citizen of the County. I also have a copy of page 35 of the 1927 "Amador County History" published by the Womens' Club. It details the Admission Day celebration featuring a prairie schooner with a team furnished by Uncle Flint. I also have the obituary appearing in the Amador Ledger. They gave me a plot plan for the cemetery, so I knew about where to look for the graves, but they were not to be found. I do have the inscriptions from the grave markers. They were buried in block 4-B, graves No. 275 and 276. I was there two years ago but didn't have time to find the cemetery, so my visit was not exactly fruitful, so I am glad I hit paydirt this time. I would really like to hear from you to compare notes. When you have a minute drop me a line. Your cousin, Bob Arcadia, CA
