UNION CEMETERY, Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Partial List 200 block of Woodside Rd (State Hwy 84), NW corner of El Camino Real and Woodside Rd, Redwood City. Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by Kay King - for pictures of this cemetery/state historical landmark go to: http://donaldlaird.com/landmarks/counties/800-899/816.html (I collected names south of the road that splits the cemetery in two. I began at the entrance and went to my right and then when I got to the end came back in the other direction. The sign at the gate indicates you should get permission to do any rubbings from the tombstones by contacting the Parks & Rec. Services Dept. of Redwood City at 780-7250. As I was only going to be there a short time and it was Saturday, I did not attempt to contact them and therefore only wrote down what I could visually make out, not making any rubbings as per their request. The park/cemetery is open from 6:00 am-10:30 pm daily. Since I was short on time, I did not write down everything on the tombstone, only that which had possible genealogical significance. Several headstones had been broken off and I didn't see the broken part lying nearby. I noted what I could of the broken part still there. Some gravesites didn't have a marker. Between asterisks should all be on one marker.) (NOTE: SEARCH FOR SURNAMES; SAME NAME NOT BURIED NEARBY.)

Eikerenkotter [Searsville....Sometimes refered to as "The Lost Town of Searsville". This village sprung up in the mid 1850 around a hotel built by Augustus EICHKERENKOTTER and was populated by all the workers supporting the local timber industry. The town was named after John SEARS a popular resident who came latter and built a store there. The town was supposed to be called EICHKERENKOTTERVILLE, but who could pronounce it? The town, at one time was the largest city in the county boasting stores, hotels, laundries, and lots of saloons. After the timber boom the town fell in disrepair and Stanford University ultimately bought the land. The Spring Valley Watter Company built a dam and Searsville Lake came into existance which covered most of the town. Families from as far away as San Jose and San Francisco used to come to Searsville lake to swim. Old stories still exist that parents would warn children not to dive too deep as they would hit their head on a chimney on one of the drowned buildings.
