California, Sonoma County, Santa Rosa
Established in 1854 with the burial of Thompson Mize on Oliver Beaulieu’s property, this cemetery holds the remains of over 5000 citizens hailing from all parts of the United States and various foreign countries. Graves include famous Sonoma County residents, veterans from the War of 1812 through the Korean War and victims of the 1906 Earthquake. The cemetery expanded over the years to its present 17 acres. By the 1930’s the cemetery fell into disrepair. Acquired by the City in 1979, the cemetery has been maintained since 1994 by volunteers of the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery Restoration Committee.
