Info

Sunset Hill Cemetery The Sunset Hill Cemetery was located south of the City Cemetery. The ground was purchased for burial grounds in 1869 by Joseph A. Conboie. I could find no further information on this Cemetery, however, one of Sacramento’s coroners was a Mr. Conoboie and I would assume that the Sunset Hill Cemetery became a part of the City Cemetery. Sloughhouse Cemetery The Sloughhouse Cemetery is located on Meiss Road off the Jackson Highway but because of vandalism, it is now fenced and locked. In 1845 the Thomas Rhoads family left Missouri with the Donner party. Splitting from the ill-fated party on their guide’s advice, the family arrived at Sutter’s Fort in 1846, making them possibly the first Mormons to travel West. With news that the Donner party was stranded, two Rhoads boys, John and Daniel, were among the first rescue party to reach them. The Cemetery was started by Catherine Rhoads Daylor, one of the fourteen children of Thomas and Elizabeth Rhoads, in 1850. In 1847, Catherine married William Daylor of London, England. When he died of cholera October 30, 1850, Mrs. Daylor set aside five acres of property in Sloughhouse for a cemetery. She married again, to W. R. Grimshaw, who was a native of New York, and had opened a store and trading post in partnership with William Daylor in 1849. Mr. Daylor’s friend, Jared Sheldon (born Underhill, Vermont in 1813) came to California in 1832. He married Sarah Rhoads, sister of Catherine Daylor. His murder made headlines in the July 14, 1851, Sacramento Union newspaper. Both he and his wife are buried in the Cemetery. There are some two hundred graves located in the Sloughhouse Cemetery. The property was owned in recent years by Percy Westerberg, a descendant of a sister of Mrs. Daylor, who deeded it to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, who have undertaken the Cemetery’s restoration. Meadowview Cemetery The July 29, 1979, issue of the Sacramento Union carried an article on page B-1 regarding the sale of land located on the northwest corner of Meadowview Road and 24 th Street. Under State law, six or more bodies buried in one place constitutes a cemetery and from the article, at least six bodies were buried on the 1.75 acres, although the above-ground traces have disappeared. The article relates to the ownership of the land and indicates that rumors were that some American Indians were buried there.
