February Update There are several plans on the horizon for SJI & II. First and foremost is news of the creation of an association for both San Jose cemeteries. As mentioned in the last post, the association (made up of four decedents of ancestors buried at San Jose I and II), will advocate for and organize the maintenance of these two cemeteries, as well as serve as the community voice for the resting place of our ancestors. From now through spring, here is a developing list of goals: 1) Organize and prepare for the second clean-up of SJ II. This could also include the erection of a fence along the south-eastern side of the cemetery to stop persistent trespassing. 2) Hold the first JSMCA board meeting and establish by-laws 3) Complete phase one of the documentation of funeral home records for both cemeteries 4) Complete the collection of known SJ I and II death certificates 5) Attempt to contact as many family members as possible who have ancestral ties to both cemeteries
