Le Grand Advocate, Saturday, August 31, 1912
For the first time in its history Mariposa is without saloons, the 90
days given by the Wylie law after an election, having expired last
Tuesday. W. W. Gann, who for some time has conducted the only saloon in
Mariposa, closed his place of business Monday night. Other saloons in
this district closed the following day. Nothing unusual marked the
stopping of the sale of intoxicating liquors in Mariposa.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you very much for posting this list! How did you ever find it? I
wonder if there is a similar list for the IOOF cemetery. Have you ever visited
the IOOF cemetery?

"Catholic Service -- Catholic Service will be held by the Rev. James B. GERAGHTY in the following places, viz. Lagrange, 14th instant; Hornitos, 21st instant; Mariposa, 28th instant; Bear Valley, Sunday September 4th."
This was before the Catholic Church was built on the hill below the Mariposa Mine. Does anyone know where services were held before that?

Hi Sue- thanks so much for sharing information about the California Historic
Cemetery Alliance with us here on the Mariposa list-
I certainly have an interest in how the legislation is proceeding-
The one thing I am also concerned about is that cemeteries on private land-
by that I mean on deeded ranches etc. in the area are protected from
citizens coming on their land without consent- ranchers in our area tell
stories of their rock walls coming down, stone by stone, and private
cemetery items disappear
I am currently working on the extraction of Native Americans out of the
1900 Mariposa Census. With any luck, this should be on the page later today.

Greetings,
If you aren't aware, the California Historic Cemetery Alliance (CHCA) was formed in January of 1999. Last year we sponsored AB 1779 which would have created the California Historic Cemetery Commission to locate and catalogue all historic cemeteries in the State. Gov. Davis vetoed it even though it had almost unanimous support in both legislative houses.
Leslie Devlin's message about the obscure Granite Springs Cemetery brings to light that there must be others out there that those in Mariposa
