Sands Cemetery, Monterey County, CA

All Markers in the Sands Cemetery were wooden and burned one summer when a 
fire swept through the area.  There are some more recent stones in the Sands 
Cemetery but for the “old wooden markers” we only have word of mouth as to who 
is buried there & their approximate dates. 

I can also answer questions about many of the homesteaders as I have done alot of 
research of this area.
