I have a question does anyone know why or where I can
find out why Governor Stevenson, the first Governor of
Nevada to died in office is buried at Mt. View
Cemetery in Oakland, CA.
For I have found newspaper articles on telling of his
funeral in Nevada, and then his body being put on a
train to Oakland, with a stop in Sacramento, where the
Governor of California, plus other state officials met
the train and put flowers in the car with the body.
And of the body being met in Oakland, and being taken
to Mt. View, with a couple of the people being former
Governor Bladsed(?) who was the first governor of
Nevada, who was living in the Oakland area, and who is
also buried at Mt. View, him I know why he is there,
for him and his family lived in the Oakland area.
Also one other man was man named Sherman, who was also
a early official of Nevada, and was also living in the
Oakland area, and he is also buried at Mt. View.
A interesting fact about his grave is plus him is the
heart of a Mexican Governor, and the wife of the
Mexican Consul to San Francisco, he was American and
his wife was Mexican. She was the one who brought the
heart to the San Francisco area, where they had a
funeral for the heart.
If you want more information on the heart let me know
and can give you more.
Thank you for any help
George
