Book Title: Historical And Descriptive Sketch Of Sonoma County, California

CEMETERY.

   The first cemetery in Petaluma was called Oak Hill Cemetery, and was the
property of the city, and contained about eight acres. It is still used.

   The Cypress Hill Cemetery was laid off in 1872 by John A. McNear. It contains
about forty acres, and is situated a quarter of a mile from the Petaluma and
Santa Rosa road, and about a mile from the business part of the city. It is a
beautiful location for a cemetery. The drives and walks are macadamized and
ornamental trees have been planted over most of the grounds. It is on a hill
overlooking all the surrounding country.
