[ Orange, California 92668 Volume 6 Santa Ana Cemetery 1702 East Fairhaven Avenue Santa Ana, California 92701 fpl r 1981, The Orange County California Genealogical Society m Post Office Box 1587 [ Orange, California 92668 R3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS pn This book is the culmination of the work of many members and officers of the Orange County California Genealogical Society. Copying the tombstone inscriptions was begun in I969» and some records were previously printed in the O.C.C.G.a, QUARTERLY. This book, however, is the first complete collection of the old Santa Ana Cemetery inscriptions.. While this is a volume of tombstone in scriptions, there were some interments without tombstones in the cemetery. Much time and effort have gone into reading the stones, psi typing the stencils and printing the book. On behalf of the Society, I would like to thank the following individuals for their much appreciated contributions.

Pointer BR Stan Barnhart Third Vice President May 4, 1981 ORANGE COUNTY CEMETERY RECORDS OLD SANTA ANA CEMETERY 1702 East Fairhaven Avenue Santa Ana, California 92701 The land for the Santa Ana Cemetery was purchased in 1898 in what was thought to remain "way out in the country." Previous to that time there was a Masonic Cemetery located on land do nated to the new Santa Ana Lodge No. 241 by Mr. JACOB ROSS, according to Mr. CHARLES D. SWANNER, Santa Ana lawyer and historian. His book "Santa Ana, A Narrative of Yesterday," published in 1953 (page 29) explains: "There are, no doubt, very few of our inhabitants today who know that during the early days a cemetery existed on the northwest corner of 8th and Ross Streets! ... eleven bodies of Masons or their families were buried there. After the Santa Ana Cemetery, northeast of Santa Ana, was established, all of the bodies from this cemetery were moved to the Santa Ana Cemetery and the old cemetery was later subdivided and sold for residential purposes." At the time his book was published, Mr. Swanner received a letter from Mortimer Hubbard of Tustin, aged 96 years explaining that he came to Santa Ana in 1870 and was hired to help move the cemetery to its new location, and he thought the cemetery was closer to the area of 6th and the N. East corner of Ross -- about where the old St. Ann's Hotel was located. Mr. Carl Young, Cemetery Trustee of the Masonic Lodge, confirmed the burial of eleven Masons and their families in the old Masonic Cemetery and the removal of them to the new location purchased by the Masons in 1898. No permanent care was given at the new location on East Santa Clara Avenue until it was made part of Fairhaven Memorial Park in 1907. The burial records in the office start at that time.

The City of Orange dates back to 1869, when Alfred Chapman and Andrew Glassell accepted land from the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana land grant for their fees in a complicated lawsuit involving the family of Jose Antonio Yorba. Alfred Chapman was a relative of Charles Clark Chapman, the principal benefactor and namesake of Chapman University. Alfred Chapman later called himself the “father of Orange.” Development of the town was guided by William Glassell, brother of Andrew Glassell. He laid out a one-square-mile town, with 10-acre farm lots surrounding a 40-acre central town site. The boundaries of the town were Walnut (now Maple) and Almond Avenues to the north and south, and Grape (now Grand) and Lemon Streets to the east and west. The intersection at the center of the town site, which became known as The Plaza, was formed by Chapman Avenue and Glassell Street. In 1880, the Southern Pacific Railroad built a depot in Orange. That same year, the Santa Fe Railroad extended its railway into the City. The Santa Fe Depot served the City for over 80 years as a freight and passenger facility until its closure in 1971.

Now that winegrowing in the United States has succeeded so brilliantly after long years of frustration, and now that it is beginning once again to spread to nearly every state in the union, it seems to me particularly fitting that the many obscure and forgotten people and their work lying behind that success should be brought out into the light. It is also instructive to see how many names celebrated in other connections also belong to the story of American winegrowing, from Captain John Smith onwards. Even more important, a knowledge of the difficulties they faced and of the work they did will help us to understand better the success that has at last been achieved. At any rate, that is the conviction from which this history has been file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%2...0wine/A%20History%20of%20Wine%20in%20America.htm (1 of 614)9/12/2011 11:02:18 AM A History of Wine in America written.

    CALIFORNIA RELUCTANTLY IMPLEMENTS THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT: WHITE CALIFORNIANS RESPOND TO BLACK SUFFRAGE, March - June, 1870 Ralph E. Shaffer Professor Emeritus, History Cal Poly Pomona [email protected] Copyright 2020 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION I RATIFICATION CELEBRATIONS: HAILING THE "SECOND EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION" AMID THE FEAR OF SOCIAL EQUALITY II DEMOCRATS OBSTRUCT REGISTRATION, APRIL- JUNE, 1870 III AT LAST, THE BALLOT EPILOGUE P a g e | 1 INTRODUCTION Ralph E. Shaffer and Sheila M. Skjeie With adoption of the state constitution in 1849 the right of suffrage in California was limited to adult, white, male citizens. Denied the ballot, African Americans in the state were powerless to prevent legislative passage of discriminatory laws such as restrictions on their right to testify in civil and criminal cases involving whites. Consequently blacks saw their enfranchisement as a way to guarantee equal treatment under the law. But moving cautiously, California’s blacks first worked to obtain testimony rights. Democrats dominated the legislature during the ten years before the Civil War, and they persistently rebuffed these efforts.1 Despite the legislature’s attitude, African Americans continued to fight, through conventions, newspapers, and petitions to the legislature, for equality regarding testimony in court. Their struggle ended successfully, in the midst of a Civil War that brought to power, both nationally and in California, a Republican Party that was more favorably inclined to an extension of black civil rights. In 1863, during Republican Governor Leland Stanford’s term in office, the ban on black testimony in civil and criminal cases was repealed. Blacks avoided making common cause with the Chinese on this issue, however, and urged that they, being Christians and knowledgeable about oaths, should be able to testify, but not the Chinese or Native Americans.
