4 Notes for : 1. Dates of Survey: July 5, 2004 and September 8 thru 10, Disregard any previous coordinate values from the July 5, 2004 survey that used a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. 3. Datum: NAD83. Latitude and Longitude coordinates are in Degrees-Minutes- Seconds (DMS) format, +/ feet of the grave location. Because of the high degree of accuracy of these coordinates, your handheld GPS receiver may not accept the full coordinate value listed here. Round up or down the seconds value to store the coordinates. The aerial photomap I compiled makes it pretty simple that you can really just walk to these graves by using the location map that was created. Hand measurements were taken inside of the Mausoleum and tied into the coordinate system I had established outside of the Mausoleum to obtain these coordinate values. 4. William Fletcher Robison was buried in the GAR Plot in His body was removed and interred at Loma Vista Memorial Park on December 17, When Loma Vista Memorial Park in Fullerton opened in 1919, there were other bodies removed from and interred at Loma Vista Memorial Park. 5. Jonathan Wallace was buried at in Later his body was removed and interred at Santa Ana Cemetery. 6. Erwin Barr of the Malvern Hill GAR Post #131 donated the GAR Plot per the deed recorded on March 29, 1895 in Book 95 Page 302 of Deeds in the Office of the Orange County Recorder. The donation was to provide a place for the internment of deceased soldiers of the Mexican and the late Civil War in the United States. On April 15, 1895 the Board of Supervisors appointed Erwin Barr per a Minute Order to bury the poor soldiers per the 1889 State Statue. 7. The Anaheim Gazette (June 4, 1881) newspaper identified James Stackpole, George Williams, Morris Goodheim and Alston Parmenter as Civil War veterans. I found no evidence that Alston Parmenter was a Civil War veteran and he is not included in this survey. His unmarked grave lies near James Stackpole and George Williams. The newspaper article is included in this DVD under Miscellaneous Articles for. Page 3 of 4

5 Notes for Continued: 8. John Conrad ( ) is buried near the GAR Plot. There was a Civil War Veteran living in the City of Anaheim who appeared in the Anaheim Gazette on January 4, I was not able to determine if they were the same person or not so he is not included in this survey. I found a burial permit at the County of Orange Archives showing that John Conrad at died on January 7, 1932 at Norwalk State Hospital. His age was 90 years. The Anaheim Gazette newspaper article is included in this DVD under Miscellaneous Articles for Anaheim Cemetery. 9. I like to knowledge and express my personal appreciation to the following persons and organizations who helped me complete this project: Ann Nepsa and Melanie Goss known as the Cemetery Angels who helped me locate most of these graves. The Orange County Cemetery District and staff for their assistance in locating some of these graves and their assistance in restoring the GAR Plot: installing 3 new Civil War Monuments and the GAR Plot Plaque in November The GAR Plot Plaque was donated by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Generals Sedgwick-Granger Camp #17 of Santa Ana.
