Carter Cemetery is the only cemetery in Tuolumne, California. It was established in 1854. For more information check out the the first link below, which is a Find-A-Grave piece with a photo of the main gate.
Because the sun was directly behind the headstones [on T 7 Jun 2016] I did not try to photograph them. The one on the left is for Katie Wilcoxson, who was born in Colorado in 1885 and died in Tuolumne in 1939. Her husband Ernest's headstone is somewhat more complete. He was born on 23 Sep 1888 in Louisville, CO, and died in Tucson, AZ, on 7 Feb 1950.
This second plot contains the remains of three Wilcoxsons as well as Cordelia's mother "Lizie" Farley. The following are some closeups.
The joint headstone for David W. Wilcoxson Sr and his wife M. Cordelia Shackelford Wilcoxson. He was born in Louisville, CO, in 1896 and died in Watsonville, CA, in 1984 while Cordelia was born in Comanche, TX, in 1898 and died in Sonora, CA, in 1980.
The middle headstone is for Martha Elizabeth "Lizzie" Farley Shackelford Colbaugh, who was born in Lakeport, CA, in 1874 and died in Tuolumne, CA, in 1949.
The headstone to the left side of this plot is for David W. Wilcoxson, Jr, who served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps during WWII in New Guinea and the Philippines. He was born in Tuolumne in 1922 and died in San Jose, CA, in 1968.
