Actually his name was Johann Georg "Jurreje" Jurgh Kast, Sr. b. 1679 in Germany and settled in New York. The Ashley-Pace Family Tree has the most comprehensive and extensive Kast Family tree and most of the family branches. A real good site to go. That site saved me hundreds of hours of research. The Kast side of the family that I am doing research on went from New York, to Ohio, to Wisconsin, to California (San Joaquin County, and Madera County, California). Since your grandmother family settled in California, I do have some information of the Kast family in California.

Marge, Could you please provide me with the name of the gentleman who has a connection to a list of the urns and a way to get in touch with him. I don't think my gr. grandfather would be there but since no one knows where he was buried it would be worth the phone call. Thank you, Debbie

Hi everyone: I spoke with a gentleman today who is connected with the county hospital in French Camp. He says there is a list of names, but hesitates to release them in whole. He will check for names (from about 1920-40 ), if you can provide a name and date. Need not be exact date.. but close, so he can check. Most were paupers, and families could not bury them.. why they ended up at county hospital & not rural cemetery, etc.. is not clear. He did agree that some could have been state hospital deaths, but is not certain, but the dates are right (after the State hospital abandoned the old cemeteries of their own). The 40 graves on the property were moved to Lodi Memorial Cemetery here in Lodi. ALL of these urns were left in the building at the county hospital. Someone intervened and it was decided to just leave them there. The county Hospital may have a list of names also, if you can prove your person died during that timeframe. I have a few death certificate copies that show County Hospital deaths, I am going to submit these names to Steve, to see if this is where they are (the few without burial information). If you have an ancestor who may have been sent to county hospital from another area due to lack of funds during the 1920-40 period, and you can't find a burial place... may want to see if they could be one of these urns. I don't have the hospital number in front of me, but you can get it online... they have a webpage.

Hi everyone Some of you may get this more than once, as it's going to many lists, sorry. Stockton Record 23 January 1988 Front Page X-RAY URNS ITS SPOT Coroner can use space by Edie Lau The Stockton Record Four thousand eight hundred (4,800) urns containing the ashes of people long dead should be removed from the county morgue and buried. That's the recomendation of the San Joaquin County Grand Jury, in a report released Friday. The remains were left from the days when the building was used as a county crematorium. The jurors said the copper urns, on shelves in a locked room, are taking up valuable building space. "The Sheriff's Office is not in the cemetery business and the urns should be removed." the jury wrote. They said relocating the urns would cost about $8,400. Sheriff Coroner John Zunino and County Administrator David D. Rowlands, Jr. agreed that acting on the grand jury's suggestion won't be hard. "What they idenified makes goosd sense" Rolands said "Money is not the issue" he added "It's just a matter of treating the remains with dignity." Aside from the urn problem, the jurors had good things to say about the coroner's operation, calling it "very efficient and well managed." They said the staff was "well informed" and "compassionate." and the records "well maintained and readily available." The county morgue has been housed in a bu9lding behind San Joaquin General Hospital in French Camp since 1980. For 50 years before, the building was a crematorium operated by the hospital. According to the jurors report, some of the urns have been stored there more than 50 years. In the last decade only two urns have been claimed by relatives. It's unclear why so many remains went unclaimed. The urns are under the control of the county hospital (San Joaquin General Hospital [mc]). The space taken up by the urns, about a quarter of the building, could better be used by the coroner, ther jurors said. For example, the x-ray machine is in a refrigerated room sometimes used to store bodies awaiting autopsy. The corpses have a foul odor that can make the x-ray technician's enviroment most unpleasant. The x-ray machine could be moved to where the urns are now, jurors said. The morgue also lacks space for drying bloody or contaminated clothing that must be kept as evidence. Baxter Dunn, captain of the coroner's division, said investigating officers are forced to take the wet clothing to other buildings. The practice is potentially dangerous, given the types of diseases -- such as hepatitis and AIDS, that are spread through blood. The county already faces the task of exhuming about 40 bodies from an unmarked pauper's cemetery near the county hospital. The cemetery is in the middle of the site for a new jail. "Maybe we can make this one project." Rowlands said. ****** There is a large photo showing Gordon King of SJCounty Hospital inspecting copper boxes containing cremated remains, some 50 years old. This is dated 1988, two years before we moved back here from Washington State, so I don't have any rememberance of what happened. Does anyone remember these urns being moved? Were they just disposed of? Could this be what became of State hospital inmates after the State Hospital quit burying/cremating people themselves? If you have an ancestor who died after 1920 or so... and you can't find them... this may be something to check.
