HORNITOS CEMETERY- MARIPOSA COUNTY CALIFORNIA=
St Catherine's Church
Photos by Chancy Wooldridge-

*transcription provided by Sharon Dulcich from the DAR Records-

"Hornitos (little oven), twelve miles west of Mount bullion, Mariposa County, California, derived its name from the presence of many odd Mexican Graves or tombs built of stone in the shape of little square bakeovens and set on top of the ground. The diggings here were very rich. Hornitos appears today much as it did years ago.

The following records were copied May 14, 1948 by Scott and Zelma Rountree, 1148 Oakland Avenue, Piedmont, CA. (I have put them in alphabetical order to facilitate finding someone. Where the person with a different surname is in a family plot, I note that to the side, ie: {buried with Cammissona family.   There were many graves in the cemetery with no headstones remaining and also many wooden ones which were  no longer legible
