Hi.. Marge Campbell here.. I have started on a little hunt..haunt.. whatever.... I get a request about every couple of months... "My family member died in Stockton, CA... at the State Hospital... buried in the Hospital cemetery..." Not unusual.. many who died at the Stockton State Hospital are buried there.. HERE is the PROBLEM: This cemetery no longer exists (sorta..more later)... This cemetery was located next to Rural Cemetery (some mistakenly say buried at Rural because of this.. or in San Joaquin cemetery.. but this is NOT rural)... on property that is now owned & occupied by St Joseph's Medical Center. There are no gravestones left... just a parcel of land at rear of center, facing Cemetery lane. The land deed states this parcel was to have a gate and made a public cemetery... memorial site for old cemetery. This is in the process of being done now.. according to Joe Holt of the Karl Ross post of the American Legion. I have offered Joe any help I can give in getting this done. Joe has been so kind as to verify information I have from old books, etc. The Asylum cemetery was purchased in Jan of 1875, It contained about 14 acres, was situated West of and adjoining the "Stockton Rural Cemetery" (1876-77 San Joaquin county directory). As a reference to us who are not familiar with the relative size of an acre of land.... 107 acres that comprised the entire State Hospital grounds took up 36 city blocks. So, 14 acres was about two to three city blocks... roughly the size of the Medical Center. I have copies of the deed & property descriptions of the parcels that were bought & sold by the KRoss post.. there is a notation that a certain portion of the land would be set aside as a cemetery, as there were still bodies there. I am almost certain ( and since Joe gave me the location & he is very aware of the location) that the land is that which has not been built on by the Med Center). I am going to get the plat maps, to pinpoint the exact location of parcel 1 & 2 .. to get the cemetery location exact. If you have a relative who died at the Stockton State Hospital, I would like to know. Also..If you know your ancester was moved from that cemetery to Rural or another local cemetery, I would like to know... I am told only common graves were at the SHCemetery.. but I know of at least two actual burial plots (one a family plot) that were moved. I will post more on this later.. I can't find the ledger that Joe H says was sent to Sonoma State Hospital (had about 40 of their patients in the book) when the State Hosp. closed. This ledger had names of those who were removed from the cemetery, cremated and buried in a common grave at rural. Other than this ledger, only known record I know of is each individual patient record... these are only accessable by a known/proven family member. Marge Now there is a neat "History of Insanity in California" in this directory... I will post this when I have time (several long pages).

I sent to the County Recorder for two death records, but they wrote back & said the deaths must have occurred in a different county. A family member found their graves in the Stockton Rural Cemetery: Mrs. Sallie Tait - d. 26 April 1886, and Mrs. Nancy Johnson - d. 6 July 1904. I know that these two women came to Stockton about 1873; they must have moved outside of county lines at some point, but their familes brought them back to Stockton for burial. Since I don't know where they were living at the time of death, I was hoping there would be an obituary that would give that information & names of surviving family, etc. Do obituaries in Stockton go back that far? Any other suggestions?

Hi... working with Sonoma now.. say they don't have Stockton State Hosp records.. One nice person there is looking for a ledger for those who were moved from the Stockton State Hospital cemetery in 1925-26.. have not heard back yet. I have not been able to find anyone with copies of these records. Many (most probably) of the records of those who died are in the actual medical files. You should be able to get these.. except I can't find which branch of the State has them. Marge

I have no idea if this institution existed during the years that you're asking about..... Stockton State Hospital People with physical or mental problems including: tuberculosis, paralysis, deaf & dumb, blind, mentally ill, retarded, etc. Custodian of Records Sonoma Development Center P.O. Box 1493 Eldridge, CA 95431 Attn: Clinical Records - Sharon Tel: (707) 938-6408 There should be a burial permit on file in the county of burial that would give details on the death if the cemetery can't provide you with an actual date of death if the death occurred after July 1905 then it might appear in the CA death index .....lots of records have been filmed by the LDS church; have you done a search of Fresno burial records that might have been filmed......http://www.familysearch.org/ Family History Library System is the link Here are the San Joaquin ones.....

She had been an epileptic, and was institutionalized for insanity in Stockton, where she died. She had been living near Lemoore, and is buried in Fresno county at the Washington Colony Cemetery. We have no information about the name of the sanitarium or institution in which she lived, nor about her parents. She was born in Scotland (we beleive her father was Daniel or David Kennedy) in 1861. We are hoping that hospital records will have some information about her family. Can anyone tell me which hospital(s) she might have been in? How I might get copies of any records?
