This record of burial was found in the Calaveras County Archives, located at 46 North Main Street, in San Andreas, California. Judge Reed, of Angels Station, was the Superintendent of Burials of Deceased Soldiers. The information contained in this volume includes the name of the deceased, the military unit in which he served, when he died, where he was buried, his occupation, and comments regarding the burial expenses paid for by the county. One word of caution concerning the information contained within this work, it appears that a great deal of it was done at the same time, as though someone was "catching up" on their bookwork, and does appear to contain some errors.
In addition to the information contained within the volume, I have added the page number where the death was listed, Obituary information found within Calaveras County Newspapers, and a cross reference to the Calaveras County Death Index by Book and page number.
