Be careful, some youtubers are getting bad comments for looking at cemeteries. Personally I think they're fascinating, you can learn so much. Thank you.

I don’t remember my Dad’s Mother but my Mom told me that she made my first birthday cake when I turned 1 year old in Placerville in 1964.
My parents were there picking 🍐 pears. My Mom said my Dad was teaching her to drive a car and she backed into a pear tree in Placerville.
I’ve heard stories about that place.

[danzoller]

Yeah if only you could hear yhe stories there ! You forgot the Blair family its there ! I live on the blair ranch now harris fam, the farm been in the family since 1853 ! Happy trails !

I am a lot into the exploration of America's primitive colonial history, when I recently came across your channel, I was is California, but, Oh boy! Did you prove me wrong! You sure do your homework. Very good!

Jeff I think Jesse and Frank James's father is buried there. It may not be marked. His mother got a letter from a fellow miner in 1850 that stated he died from a disease outbreak. A lot of the miners died from the conditions they lived in which included murder.

The 19th Michigan regiment on the headstone of Charles Jordan, took part in Sherman's march to the sea in 1864. I wonder when he came out West.
