24th & Meadowview Cemetery

No Longer exists -no remains. 

Cemetery History: John W. Martin, (died 1860), 32 years old, William Franklin, (1834-1869); twin daughters of William and Louise Franklin, born and died the same day but interred Sept. 6, 1864; Thomas Ricker (died in 1865), David Crum (died in 1867), William D. Sperry (1866-1868) and Annie E. Harris (1874-1875). 

In 1860, John W. Martin, who was 32 years old at the time of his death, was buried in the cemetery, which was at various times identified in records as the Freeport Cemetery and the West Union Cemetery. It was also recorded that the Franklin family had sufficient burials at the site to lead to the parcel being unofficially referred to at times as the "Franklin family cemetery." Members of that family to be interred in those grounds included William Franklin (1834-1869), who was born in Denmark and came to the Freeport area in 1857. Another record of the cemetery indicates that the twin daughters of William and Louise Franklin were interred at the site on Sept. 6, 1864. The infants died only six hours after they were born.

Alder Creek Cemetery

No longer exists - no remains, see Prairie City Cemetery

Cemetery History: Thirteen bodies were found and local historians believe it was the cemetery for an early mining town named Prairie City. The excavated remains were reburied at Mormon Island Cemetery (Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery).

The site of the Prairie City Cemetery, that once served the bustling gold rush town of Prairie City, was re-located during construction of the Prairie City Road and Highway 50 Interchange in May 1997. It was used between 1853 and at least 1872 and may have first been known as the Alder Creek Hill Cemetery as early as 1852. It was likely used by the citizens of Prairie City and other surrounding communities. Please visit the Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery on Shadowfax Road off Green Valley.

Elk Grove Cemetery

Site in Sacramento County (District Cemetery)

Cemetery History: One notable gravesite in the Elk Grove Cemetery is that of Elitha Donner Wilder of the ill-fated Donner Party, located on Row C on the south side of the cemetery.

On August 8, 1871, two acres of land on the southeast corner of the crossroads at Old Elk Grove were purchased from D.W. Osborne in the name of Richard Allin. In 1874, a portion of the acreage was set aside for a cemetery for Masons and their families. The plot was fenced and ornamental trees were set out. However, the need for local burial plots for those without Masonic affiliation prompted the Lodge to buy two adjoining acres in June of 1881. The cemetery was enlarged again in 1887.

In 1951, the Elk Grove-Cosumnes Cemetery District was formed, and the Masonic Lodge deeded the cemetery to the District.
