The articles listed below were researched from the San Francisco Archives at the San Francisco Main Library.The first article talks about the graves that still remain beneath the grounds of Lincoln Park and under the turf of the Municipal Golf Course. Another article talks about the vandalism and other activities witnessed by the aging cemeteries in the Richmond District during their twilight years. The last documents reprint pre-election arguments and debates over Proposition 43 in the November 1924 elections. This prevented the removal of the cemeteries that still populated a number of the neighborhoods of San Francisco, for another decade or so at least. Proposition 43 passed with 71,085 Yes Votes and 63,966 No Votes. I plan to add to this list as my time allows and if anyone has any interesting additions of your own, I would be glad to hear from you. Submit any correspondence HERE - please. |
