The People’s Cemetery was built on a section of ground that had been mined out (early 1850’s). Most all of the grave sites were blasted into the rock, and walls were created with masonry (poured or brick). All of the sites seem to be owned (but perhaps not occupied). My aunt and uncle retired from Los Angeles area to their property in the Jesus Maria area (just north of San Andreas). Uncle had found a neighbor who had received a plot in the People’s Cemetery for his first marriage. He gave it to my uncle. Uncle passed in 2005, and aunt passed in 2019. Both were cremated, and we got to bury their urns in their plot. A local monument company made and installed their headstone. Another fun fact (for me at least)- my Mom was the music teacher at San Andreas High School in the mid 1940’s. She lived there for three years before she moved to Bakersfield.

So interesting that some of the pioneers had varied careers such as Judge Gottschalk who was not only a judge, but at one time was a butcher and a bookkeeper. I like Sarah's reply when you asked if she thought about how short life is when she's at a cemetery and she said she just wanted to play with the goats. She is yin to your yang. Thanks for sharing the video.

17:31 Yes! As a history buff, and believing I was born in the wrong era, I do have a interest in old historical cemeteries. I love looking at the elaborate grave markers, reading the names, reading the small details of who that person was, pondering how that person lived, the challenge of looking for graves of famous people, and paying my respects. I spend time reflecting and think of my own mortality...to stop wasting time and live life to the fulliest. Don't delay your bucket list. I find visiting cemeteries peaceful, but also sad. I feel alittle envious of them living in the era I admire. Yes, times were tough, but it was simpler times compared to the madness we live in today. On another note, I hate when some people say cemeteries are spooky, creepy, and haunted. These were once real people, loved ones cried over their graves, relatives still come and visit their ancestors. But yet some people exploit these last resting places as paranormal freak shows. Idiots wandering around in the dark with spirit boxes and ouji boards. Freaking out from every little noise...imagination playing tricks on their feeble minds (yes, I said it). Either pay your respects or leave them alone.

I was born and raised in San Andreas. Thank you for taking the time to go over the history. At 66 years old now, the Calaveras Cement Plant and cemetery part of your video really hit me. So many of my family and friends are now in that cemetery and my dad had 40 years and my grandfather had 44 years at Calaveras Cement Plant and both now at People’s Cemetery. Also, if you ever return, go down Main Street to bottom of hill and continue on and as you go by the grammar school the entrance is on your left - Cemetery RD. You won’t have to walk up that hill. You may also want to look into some interesting history on San Antone Camp. It was an old mining town. I believe that it was so rough there that Ben Thorne had to set up his office there because that was where his job as sheriff kept taking him. Anyway, thanks for your video. Rory

@@jbenziggy I've seen some you did & enjoyed and wanted to ask if you've seen a very small plot at the south end of the Columbia airport flightline? I took pics of the front gate entrance & the very few headstones. I wanted to find out something about this small area there but haven't looked online yet. Thanks for your research and photography!

@@jbenziggy I wish I could upload my pics here... It's called the Springfield cemetery with 1800-2,000 inhabitants! I didn't realize there were that many buried there...

My husband and I love to explore in gold country cemeteries! I love that on many headstones, they listed the years, months and days that they lived. TIP: if you haven't yet, you must check out the cemetery in Ione!

I’m sure we’ll eventually get to that one in Ione! Thanks so much for being interested in our channel and adventures!
