A MANCHESTER DEAD Final Summons Comes to G. A. R. Veteran The death of Luman A. Manchester on Monday afternoon adds another to the list of pioneers called hence within the last few months to join the silent majority. Mr. Manchester had been an invalid for several years and at times a great sufferer, but he remained cheerful and patient to the last, faithfully attended by a devoted wife whose health has also declined in late years. Mr. Manchester had many friends throughout the State who will regret his demise and who honor his memory as a fine man, gentleman and a scholar. The Manchester home in this city has long been known as one of literary culture and advanced thought. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from the Odd Fellow's hall under the exclusive rites of that order and the remains were escorted by his son, George A. Manchester, of Berkeley, to Oakland, where they were cremated on Wednesday. Mrs. Julia Mackie of Sacramento and Mrs. Jessie King of Atwater, daughters of the deceased were also here for the funeral, as was Mrs. Matt Hayford, a sister, from Stockton, but all arrived too late to witness the final closing of the long and distinctive life. Luman A. Manchester was born in Clay County, Missouri, November 23, 1828. He came to California in 1851, and when the Civil War broke out a few years later he returned to the East and joined a Massachusetts regiment of calvary with which he served until peace was declared, acting at the same time as war correspondent for several newspapers at Washington, D.C. In 1866 he was married and brought his bride to California. Later he became interested in mines and mining in Montana, Arizona and Nevada. In 1877 he came with his family to Merced and associated himself in the blacksmithing business with the late A.M. Hunter. He was postmaster here under Cleveland's administration and was always an ardent politician and independent thinker.

Hello, I have been watching the progress of Senate Bill 1952 because a portion of it was a reaction to what had occurred in Georgia at the crematory where the owner stacked and stored bodies rather than perform the service he was paid to perform. As originally written SB 1952 would have allowed the Dept. of Consumer Affairs Cemetery and Funeral Bureau to review whether there was also a need to regulate cemetery and funeral salespersons of religious corporations or entities - a group that has historically been with ANY regulation in California. In my opinion, after six years of researching cemeteries and cemetery operators in California, oversight of these entities would have been a good thing. Today's notice of an amendment shows me that this Bill has been all but completely gutted. It has been reduced to nothing more than a lip service bill and was probably heavily fought by those in the cemetery industry. Once again, California is going to miss the boat and consumers will pay for it. Perhaps not in dollar losses, but in terms of not having the peace of mind that those who they put their trust in (funeral directors and cemetery operators) will face no regulation and no penalties if they choose to underperform or worse. I am including the text of the amended bill. I will be writing to the authors as well as my state representatives. If you feel it's time to take this industry to task so that those who would defile or desecrate the dead will be held accountable, I would ask that you do the same. Those not interested, please ignore this posting. Sue Silver El Dorado County, CA **************************************************************** BILL NUMBER: SB 1952 AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY JUNE 18, 2002 AMENDED IN SENATE MAY 2, 2002 INTRODUCED BY Senator Figueroa (Coauthors: Senators Johannessen and Polanco) (Coauthors: Assembly Members Aanestad, Correa, and Thomson) FEBRUARY 22, 2002 An act to amend Sections 144, 473.1, 9663, 9731, 9747, 9765, and 9786 of, and to add Sections 7612, 7746, 9610, 9750.5, 9764.1, and 9764.2 to, the Business and Professions Code, relating to professions and vocations. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 1952, as amended, Figueroa. Cemetery and Funeral Bureau. Existing law creates a Joint Legislative Sunset Review Committee and authorizes it to review and evaluate various boards and commissions having duties and responsibilities relating to professions and occupations. This bill would provide for the committee review and evaluations of the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law provides for the regulation of funeral establishments, embalmers, cemeteries, and crematories by the Cemetery and Funeral Bureau in the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires a cemetery authority to display and make available to certain consumers , a copy of the consumer guide for funeral and cemetery purchases. The bill would require a cemetery authority or a cemetery licensee to provide a copy of the consumer guide to a consumer prior to drafting a contract for cemetery goods or services. Existing law requires a person who is delinquent in renewing a cemetery license or a crematory license or a cremated remains disposer registration to pay the fee plus an additional 50% of the renewal fee, but no more than the renewal fee plus $25. This bill would set the delinquency fee at 150% of the timely fee, but not less than the renewal fee plus $25. Existing law regulates preneed contracts for funeral services, and requires a funeral establishment to file an annual report with the bureau. This bill would require a funeral establishment that is exempt from filing an annual report or whose preneed trust funds are reported in a combined preneed trust report, to file a declaration of nonreporting status each year. The bill would require the bureau to conduct certain studies a study on the need to regulate 3rd-party casket retailers and report to the department and the Joint Legislative Sunset Review Committee on or before September 1, 2004. Existing law provides for the examination of applicants for a cemetery license or a crematory license by the bureau. The bill would provide that the fee for a crematory manager examination and reexamination shall be the actual cost to the bureau no more than $500, and that the fee for a cemetery manager examination and reexamination shall be no more than $900 . Because a violation of the provisions regulating funeral establishments is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority.
