Hello, Thanks to everyone who has emailed Assemblymember Bill Campbell since I first sent out my email about this Bill. I received an email message from Assemblymember Campbell asking that I call his office. They are drafting amendment language that will provide that the bill will be prospective and will only apply to persons who die after January 1, 2001 and who made no provision for the disposition or future use of the family plots purchased in the deceased's name. The plot will then devise to the heirs of the deceased for their further use or disposition. The historic family plots will not be affected and cannot devise to any other party than the original plot purchasers. Thanks again to everyone who wrote. I will be sending out the text of the amended language when I receive a copy of it. Sue Silver El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission ssilver1951@jps.net

Greetings, Assemblymember Bill Campbell introduced AB 322 that will provide that family cemetery plots if not specifically bequeathed by the deceased plot owner, will pass to heirs according to the state's laws governing Intestate Succession. The intent of the bill is to allow heirs access to the use and enjoyment of the plots (provided, I would hope, there is room to be interred). UNFORTUNATELY, what this Bill also provides is that the "heirs" then have the right to sell, bequeath or otherwise dispose of the remaining grave plots in the family plots. Previous to this, California Health and Safety Code has provided that family plots are inalienable and that no one not authorized by the "plot owner" to be buried there, may legally be interred. The present law is consistent with the earlier feelings of people that they have a place set aside for the use and burial (together) of their family members. The reason that families in the old cemeteries enclosed their plots with concrete or granite coping was to protect "their" burial space. AB 322 may have the effect of disposing of those now-deceased person's right to what they intended originally. If you agree that family plots should be forever held for use by a family and that non-related parties should not be allowed to invade those burial spaces, please contact Assemblymember Bill Campbell in OPPOSITION of AB 322. Please copy Assemblymember Robert Pacheco, Vice Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee also. Their email addresses are: assemblymember.campbell@assembly.ca.gov and ajud.committee@assembly.ca.gov. For more information about AB 322, check: www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset2text.htm and search on Assembly Bill 322. This will give you the text of the Bill, the history and status, and the Legislative Counsel's Analysis of the Bill. As one who is Sexton of an historic cemetery, I now have third, fourth and fifth generation family trying to find "cheap" (free) grave space, even though for years they have ignored the graves of their (long) deceased ancestors. and despite the fact the cemetery's records are not accurate as to all burials that occurred. I believe those plots should remain inalienable. Thank you, Sue Silver, President El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission ( a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation) ssilver1951@jps.net

Posted on: El Dorado Co. Ca Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ca/ElDorado/10056 Surname: ENOS ------------------------- I am searching for the burial site of my g-g-grandfather, Joseph H. ENOS. He traveled from Bainbridge Twnshp., Berrien Cty., Michigan to California in about 1850. He had the 'gold rush' fever and traveled with several other men, unfortunately he died there a year later (1851). I believe he would have been in El Dorado county since that was the center of the gold rush. Can anyone help me locate burial or death records of that time period? He was born about 1817 so he was only about 34 yrs. old. His widow died at 28 yrs. here in MI in 1852. Thanks for any help you can give me. Marge Yetzke Watervliet, MI yetzkejm@qtm.net

Posted on: El Dorado Co. Ca Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ca/ElDorado/10044 Surname: Powell, Mercer, Meeks, O'Hara, King ------------------------- I would like to find out some information about a car accident that occurred on January 15, 1945 "on Highway 50 above Merrymans" in El Dorado County, CA. Tipton Oscar Mercer was killed in that accident. His wife was named Barbara Drouin Mercer and she lived in Pollock Pines, CA. I would like to know if anyone can copy or obtain copies of the newspaper accounts of the accident and what newspapers were in existence in 1945 and covered El Dorado County, CA. Any help in finding out more information about this accident or Tipton Oscar Mercer or Barbara Drouin Mercer would be deeply appreciated.

GREETINGS...to all who may have a stake in the future of California's historic cemeteries, My name is Sue Silver, and I am the president of the El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission, a non-profit public benefit corporation. Our goal is for the preservation, protection and restoration of our county's historic cemeteries. This is to advise you that Assemblymember Anthony Pescetti has introduced Assembly Bill 1368 (AB 1368) to establish the California Historic Cemetery Commission. To read the Bill, go to: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_1351-1400/ab_1368_bill_20010223_in troduced.html (If this link fails, go to the California State Assembly web site and click on Legislation. At the next screen, search on 1368, and follow links from there.) Assemblymember Pescetti introduced and ushered this same bill (as AB 1779) through the last session of the legislature where it was extremely well received by members of both houses of the Legislature. Unfortunately, Governor Gray Davis vetoed in the last hours of the session. We are hopeful that this year we will see it's enactment. I am asking for your support in helping to pass this legislation. This is a Bill that will benefit anyone who has any ancestors buried anywhere in any historic California cemetery. It is a way and means to document the historic cemeteries state wide, and to build a registry of those places so that they may be kept from harms way. California has had a dismal history when it comes to its treatment of cemeteries. From the earliest years of statehood, cemeteries were being relocated to accomodate mining activities. In the 1950's, we saw a movement of cemeteries to accomodate dams and reservoirs. In the latter part of the 20th Century, we began to see them uprooted for highways and residential developments. At this rate, the historic cemeteries of the communities founded by our ancestors, similar to some of the now-gone towns and villages, will fade from the face of our historic landscape. And along with them, the humanity and history they represent. I urge you to contact Assemblymember Pescetti to thank him for introducing this Bill and to lend your voice of support. Email him at: anthony.pescetti@asm.ca.gov or write to him at: Honorable Anthony Pescetti California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 2130 Sacramento, CA 95814 or call him at: (916) 319-2010 BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO LEGISLATORS. You might wish to copy Governor Gray Davis on your email, and his address is: governor@governor.ca.gov Please help find, save and preserve our state's historic cemeteries and grave yards. They are the first textbooks of the people who lived and died in California. Thank you in advance for your concern and support. If you can help identify the location of obscure or "left behind" cemeteries in your county, please let me know.

Posted on: El Dorado Co. Ca Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/ElDorado/47 Surname: BROUGHER, CANNON, MANVILLE ------------------------- Hi, Am remotely related. My maternal grandmother's father had a sister, Julia Amelia CANNON. She was born on 28 Apr 1862 in Iowa City IA. Her family previously had been in IL. Julia Amelia died in Oakland CA on 31 Jul 1946. She's buried in Carson City NV (Lone Mountain Cemetery-Family Plot). On 14 Feb 1885 when Julia Amelia was 22, she married Wilson (Wils) (Wilse) BROUGHER, parents unknown, in Belmont, Nye county, NV. Info I have is Wilson was born on 7 Jul 1854 in Adams County, PA. He died in Oakland CA on 15 May 1922. He was a major force in the development of the mining industry around Tonapah NV. He later moved to Carson City NV and then to Oakland. If you're interested in more, I can provide CANNON materials but not much on Wils prior to his arrival in NV. There's some discussion of him on the Nye county, NV rootsweb page. Julia Amelia and Wilson had the following children: Ida Estelle (1886-1966) Irene A (1889-1912) Nellie (Nell) B (1896-1963) William Henry (1898-1953) I also have some contacts located in CA if you've got a connection. Apparently Wils' legacy lives on during yearly celebrations in Tonapah. As far as El Dorado county goes, have been trying to trace an Isaac MANVILLE to that area but have been unable to come up with any hard facts. Timeframe is gold rush as best I can determine. Vern D
