RC, Thank you so MUCH! They must have finally and recently fixed it! Like I mentioned before, Sarah Mildred Jones was cremated at East Lawn but her cremains are buried at the Masonic Lawn! Again, Thank you so VERY MUCH!marilyn  --- On Sat, 4/27/13, RC <rc13@att.net> wrote: From: RC <rc13@att.net> Subject: Re: [NORCAL] George C. Yount Pioneer Cemetery - Transcription? To: theschoolbell@lyahoo.com, norcal@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, April 27, 2013, 5:58 PM Hi Marilyn..... Are you referring to memorial # 3179? When I go to that memorial for Sarah Mildred Jones (1841 - 1925), the cemetery listed is the Masonic Lawn Cemetery, Sacramento, Plot: Section E, Lot 211, Grave 11 [unmarked]. If there is a problem, go to "Help with Find A Grave" section and that will have the ways to contact Find A Grave to help with correcting errors.

Yount Pioneer Cemetery - Transcription? Hi Folks,This Find a Grave entry most likely is correct, but may I take this opportunity to tell or remind people that not all Find A Grave entries are accurate. I am completely frustrated because I cannot seem to get to the right source to get Find A Grave to make a correction.I went to the persons info listed. Sarah Mildred Jones was the first person of colour to become a principal of a fully integrated school in California - in 1895. Find A Grave has her listed as being buried in East Lawn Cemetery in Sacramento. Miss Jones was cremated in East Lawn but she is buried in the Masonic Lawn Cemetery. I have verified this with both cemeteries. Although it is not a matter of whose fault it is, to be fair, the fault is not entirely Find A Grave. East Lawn has a brochure that erroneously or misleadingly lists Sarah Jones as a connection to East Lawn.Hiowever, does anyone know how I can get this corrected with Find A Grave?Thank you!marilyn     --- On Fri, 4/26/13, RC <rc13@att.net> wrote: From: RC <rc13@att.net> Subject: Re: [NORCAL] George C.

You have gone to www.findagrave.com and looked at her memorial # 108794042? If you click on the memorial's creator, Eileen Thomas, and look at the last message, it gives source information.

Yount Pioneer Cemetery - Transcription? Well, we've all been on a roll lately so I'm hoping it's my turn to get lucky.  A fellow researcher and I have been on a long and tedious search for Hester Dolly Watson McClain Wygal McVey.  "Watson" being her maiden name, and "McVey" being her buried name.   Seriously, this is one of those awesome stories where two years ago, we knew that Hester was born in Los Angeles in about 1899, had her in the 1910 census and then nothing.  Fast forward to today, we have most of Hester's story pieced together, including two of her three marriage certificates and her death certificate from 1932. (She was only 32 years old.)   The death certificate gave us the mortuary, Treadway & Wigger, which is still in existence in Napa, and we contacted them.  They told us this:  "Our records indicate that $30.00 was advanced for a grave at Yountville Cemetery and that $15.00 was advanced to a Mr. Crowley to open & close the grave. "   The kicker here is that they don't have plot information.  Okay, this is the mortuary that buried her, and they don't know where!  We have to assume that "Yountville Cemetery" means the George C. Yount Pioneer Cemetery, and so the question is, does anybody know if this cemetery has been transcribed?  I know it has been photographed without captions.  I know there is a Yountville Cemetery Association that has no web presence, and so far, it's like a black hole in genealogy.  I can't believe that my friend and/or I have missed anything, but I know there is always that chance.   Any thoughts, suggestions as to this cemetery will be very much appreciated!   Thanks to all.
