San Benito Way is only a couple of blocks east of Commodore Sloat elementary school (50 Darien Way - the back of the school is on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Junipero Serra Blvd). Aptos Middle School (used to be a junior high) is a couple of blocks east of San Benito. St. Emydius Catholic school (where I attended in the 1940s) is also in the general area (across Ocean Avenue on Jules and deMontford). Jerry Dwyer Castro Valley, CA

He says if it's at the same place it was. If they hadn't moved it. It was at California and one block up from Divisadero. I don't have the address but I hope that helps a little.

To Maria in Chile mailto:madepassier@hotmail.com I copied the pages you asked for and will be posting the information shortly. Since you are in Chile I will have to copy the pages and send them later by email, not by snail mail, as you requested. There are two pages but the article doesn't give much information biographically. Highlights: Alameda was a hunter's paradise. Antonio Maria Peralta held his share of the Peralta estate intact until 1850. At this time, two Frenchmen named MAITRE and DESPACHIER negotiated with Antoinofor lease of a tract of Alameda land for the purpose of cutting firewood for the San Francisco market. This transactions marks the beginning of the breakup of the PERALTA grant. "It was in September of 1850," Gideon AUGHINBAUGH, co-founder of Alameda, recorded in his diary, "when I first crossed the bay (from SF) in a whitehall boat. My object in coming was to find a suitable location to plant an orchard. We continued up the slough to East Oakland (then known as San Antonio) where we found a one-story house occupied by some Frenchmen whose business it was to slaughter cattle. "I then also found Antonia Maria PERALTA," continues Mr. AUGHINBAUGH's memoirs, "who had given a lease to two Frenchmen, De PASSIER and LeMAITRE, for a term of six years. These men were located on the south shore of the encinal (foot of Chestnut Street) and were cutting timber and shipping firewood to SF. Mr. Wm. W. CHIPMAN and myself obtained a sublease from these men for the unexpired term." The sublease, which describes the term of the contract was dated January 3 1851 and confirmed March 26 1851. It was between Wm. W. CHIPMAN and Gideon AUGHINBAUGH and Joseph DePASSIER and Baltazar MAITRE. Witnessed by Joseph DEPASSIER (seal) B. MAITRE (seal) Wm. W. CHAPMAN (seal) G. AUGHINBAUGH (seal) in the presence of C. A.BOUSQUET Pedro VARELA John CROSE Confirmation was by the company of Joseph DEPASSIER, Joseph EMERIC and J. M. PAYOR.

Hi everyone: I just got home from the Hearing on the state hospital cemeteries that was held in Napa today.. you all missed a great meeting & a very thoughtfull memorial service... sorry you couldn't make it. There were representatives of several organizations there (including the one below... I will translate my notes this weekend & give a better report)... and they showed what can be done, if you have the support of the governments & the people. There were speakers from all walks of life there.. some had family who were mental patients, some were the patients... they were brave & came forward to tell of the treatment they recieved, and how badly the patients were treated even before they died...very moving. Senator Chesbro was very interested in going forward with the California State Hospital projects... so please support him and the following group... John Rodriguez (sorry, probably not spelled correctly) & another state of CA representative were there.. and promised to work with the Senator & the cemetery groups to find, extract & share ALL the burial records for the Hospital patients. The goal is to RESTORE all the cemeteries with full markers over the years. Support this effort please! Below is a note I recieved from one group.. If you are interested in helping in your area.. call the toll free number and let them know. Marge I am on a coalition of the CNMHC with Protection And Advocacy. The coalition is attempting to restore Calfornia State hospital cemeteries and histories. Stockton State Hospital is one of the cemeteries in the Central Valley area that I am part of to document the history and restore the cemetery. Your research will be very helpful. Thanks. If you would like more information on the project you can call 1-800-626-7447 at the California Network of Mental Health Clients (CNMHC). We will be holding a legislative hearing at Napa State Hospital today from 1 - 5:30 PM if you can join us.

Christine... Palou Street/Avenue is in the residential neighborhood known as "Bayview." It is in the southeastern corner of San Francisco and very near to the old Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard as well as Candlestick Park, former home of the S.F. Giants & current home field of the S.F. 49ers. When I was growing up in S.F., the Bayview was populated with lots of Italian and Maltese immigrants. Today, only a few of the original families remain, and the neighborhood has become pretty "rough around the edges." As for your specific address, I can't help you out since I live about 3 hours from S.F. these days. Perhaps someone has a reverse directory who can check the address? Good luck...

I recieved the following from Peggy at SSCDDMH... I am going to call Lori Monday. Marge Thank you for your email to Senator Chesbro regarding the upcoming hearing on 11/16. The hearing begins at 1:30pm. We will first hear from two other states who have undertaken restoration projects, followed by the State Department of Mental Health and the State Department of Developmental Services who will testify about the historic use and current status of California graveyards at these institutions, and finally we will hear from the CA Memorial Project about their efforts to begin restoration efforts in California. If you are unfamilar with this project, you may want to contact them (Lori Sheppard at 1-800-776-5746). Following these witnesses, we will take public testimony, at which time, we would be happy to hear from either or both of you. The Committee would be very interested to learn what you know about Stockton Developmental Center. If you have documentation, you can provide ahead of time, that would be great -- even if its only a bit more detailed description that you could send my by email. Please let me know if you plan on attending and testifying and I'll make sure you get a slot.

I found this site at the San Francisco Library, <http://www.QandAcafe.com/> I tried it it was not that great but maybe for some people it will be better. You are in a actual, with a librarian. I was hoping that they would be looking at books but what they do is check the web. It is run by a group of libraries in California. There hours are 2 p.m. to 9 p.m seven days a week.
