"Green Oak Cemetery — We notice
by an advertisment in another column that an opportunity is at length offered
to deposit the remains of a friend or relation in other place than "Potter's
Field." A few gentleman have devoted a very pretty mount of about three
acres, covered with evergreen oak, to this purpose and have fixed their
charges at such reasonable rates as to meet the views of all requiring
their attention."

"GREEN-OAK CEMETERY — On Mission and Price
streets, near Mission road. Individuals or Churches desirous to obtain
lots, will please apply immediately to CHARLES W. CORNELL, undertaker,
Sacramento st., Agent for the Company. Besides the usual ornaments there
will be placed at each corner of the cemetery a cenotaphic tower, to be
used upon extraordinary occasions, as the death of a president, governor,
or other distinguished man."
