POSSIBLE
Marine Hospital Burial Index
Introduction | 1 to 280 | 281-560 | 561-838
This
burial index (records #1 through #838) is for the cemetery behind the Marine
Hospital at the San Francisco Presidio
(McAnn, Jennifer;
The
Marine Hospital Cemetery, Presidio of San Francisco; The Presidio
Archaeology Center, 2006). NONE of these burials have been confirmed.
They are ONLY a possibility based on research.
The burial index presented here was copied from Appendix D. of the above-referenced
report. The report also included an appendix (Appendix E.) that had a list
of “known burials.” All of the information
here was copied by permission of The Presidio Archaeology Center (August
2008).
Dates were approximated based on available information (birth date, death date and age). Causes of death have been standardized for ease of reference (ie, modifiers such as “acute” or “chronic” were removed), vernacular and variable terms have been changed to standard terms (ie, “consumption” and “tubercle of lung” became “tuberculosis”), and archaic medical terms have been updated (ie, “carcinoma” became “cancer”).
