Hi: Found while browsing. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com ================================== San Francisco Genealogy Vital Notices 1853 Deaths (in San Francisco or those buried in San Francisco) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Found at: http://www.sfgenealogy.com/sf/sf1853c.htm Notes: This information was taken from Daily Alta California newspapers. All dates are assumed to be from 1853, unless specified otherwise; and the information was found on page 2 of the various issues. Gray: "INTERMENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO, for the week ending [date], 1853. Reported for the Alta California, by N. Gray, City Sexton and Undertaker, 205 Sacramento street, above Dupont." If there is a "-jl" after "Gray", that indicates the individual was killed by the explosion of the Jenny Lind. No further information except what is mentioned here was reported. Notice: This indicates an entry for the individual was listed under Deaths. If there is a "-r", this indicates relative(s) were noted. Article: This indicates that a newsarticle referred to the individual. Many of these were Coroner Inquests. If there is a "-r", this indicates relative(s) were noted. If you note a "{date} or {date}", and the sources included Gray and Notice/Article, then the earlier date was most likely the date-of-death, and the latter, the burial date. 18 Nov - John Hines, Upper Canada, 25 [22 Nov, Gray]
