Dear All,

Today a wonderful man passed from us. John Bettencourt has spearheaded and led the effort to preserve the old Sacramento City Cemetery as part of a committee under the Sacramento County Historical Society. John has led tours, designed fund raising events and was a part of the effort to convince the City of Sacramento to erect fencing to inhibit vandalism.

John loved the tour work at the cemetery and gave tours to school children and others over the years. He and the Old City Cemetery Committee have worked wonders with the cemetery. Their tours have been very well received and John was a large portion of the response received.

I will miss him greatly and hope that all people who share our desires to preserve and protect our historic cemeteries and the heritage they represent will say a prayer with me tonight for John.

We do what we can, when we can. John did his part.

Sincerely,

Sue Silver
El Dorado County Pioneer Cemeteries Commission
