I've wandered around Stockton Rural Cemetery for many years now. I remember when several of the decorative and very expensive, crypt doors were being stolen. The door on the Rothenbush crypt, I believe, was first to go, but was later replaced with the plain, less expensive one you see there today. The Daggett crypt door was also stolen, as were the doors from the Stewart, Fraser, Barnhart, Hyatt, etc etc crypts. The Holt crypt door, seen in this video, isn't the original either, the original was damaged by the thieves, who tried to steal it. Unbelievable that this theft was allowed to happen. The decorative pieces from the Wagner crypt door were being removed around the same time period as the crypt doors were. Lots of history in this cemetery, some of which I added to Findagrave over the years, back when few were interested in this cemetery or it's history. A gentleman named, Glenn A. Kennedy, who was the secretary & treasurer of Rural Cemetery Association from 1950 to 1994, wrote a book about many of those who are interred at Stockton Rural Cemetery. I've always wanted a copy of it. It may have been a paperback or something, more of a local thing, I'm not sure. Good video. Keep 'em coming.

Loved this historical video. I lived in Stockton several times from 1964 to 1972 and didn’t even know this cemetery was there until I went looking for a friend’s plot place year. Her Owen’s plot is just behind what the office staff referred to as Millionaires row, so I had to check it out also. Was amazed too at all those mausoleums and history from all the names so historic to Stockton. Really enjoyed the piece. Thank you!

My husband and I went to put flowers and visit my mother, father and sister's graves since we had not been there for a long time - we live a few hundred miles away. After that we went to visit that Stockton Rural Cemetery which is located behind the cemetery where my relatives are buried - this was today and I left my purse under the front seat as far as it would go - the straps were visible - someone within 15 minutes broke our passenger side window, stole my purse with all my medical cards and ID and SS card and credit cards and all our money ($1592.00) !! We were around 100 yards from the vehicle but did not see anyone near the vehicle - except for one card with the headlights on park in front of our van and then leave very fast. There is a train track very near there and a train was going by so we heard nothing. Stockton is a very dangerous town and very crime ridden. People do not go there!!!!! P.S. I was born in Stockton and moved away 17 years ago and am now glad that I did!!!

I saw this video on your channel and thought "I bet the Sperry family will come up at some point". I like the mention of Ethel's marriage to W.H. Crocker, I'll add onto it: Ethel's younger sister Helena Elisabeth married "Prince" Andre Poniatowski of France in 1893, who was a promoter representing a number of French and British investors. Through family ties, Poniatowski and Crocker became acquainted and financed several projects together, including a predecessor to P.G.&E. called the Blue Lakes Water Company, and the Sierra Railway Company of California, the famous "Movie Railroad" featured in many notable Hollywood films, including "High Noon", "The Shadow Riders", "Unforgiven", and "Back to the Future Part III".

I have to give you much respect for doing this video. Both myself and my fiance' Roland have been visiting this cemetery for many years (he has been doing it longer than I have). He has photographed and entered hundreds (or more) of the graves there to Find-a-grave -- funny story, that is how we met, via cemeteries! Anyhow, after we started dating he started taking me there on walks, and I fell in love with this cemetery. I dedicated several years of research to finding the stories of many of those eternal residents, finding their photographs in old books and writing about them on my blogs, creating a Facebook page dedicated to that cemetery where we post photos and biographies of the residents there, and also entering their biographical info on Find-a-grave as well. I was so saddened to see the cemetery staff used a lot of my research for their website (without citing their sources) but most importantly they failed to really incorporate the more famous and important movers and shakers in Stockton's history that are buried there. That is the point I want to make with your video. You did that. You not only covered many of the very important (and sadly forgotten) people in Stockton Rural's history, but you also did it accurately and with respect. I really appreciate that. Thank you very much! - J'aime Rubio, Author

I live and stockton and used to visit often. I believe the 5 kid that was shot at Cleveland elementary schools are buried there too. 1989 there was a school shooting. That was right after my parents transferred us out of that school. It was so sad.--The Cleveland Elementary School shooting (also known as the Stockton schoolyard shooting and the Cleveland School massacre) occurred on January 17, 1989, at Cleveland Elementary School at 20 East Fulton Street in Stockton, California, United States. The gunman, Patrick Purdy, who had an extended criminal history, shot and killed five schoolchildren and wounded 32 others. As first responders arrived at the scene, Purdy committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. His victims were predominantly Southeast Asian refugees. This particular shooting happened almost exactly ten years after another school shooting in San Diego, which happened to be at a school named Grover Cleveland Elementary.

Sadly, it only took 15 minutes for my Locked, and Alarmed, car, to be broken into and my wife's purse to be stolen, ruining possibly my wife's last and final trips to her parents gravesite. People, realize that many older and historic areas, once glamorous, are now located in and near Filthy gang infested Ghettos. If you go here, bring enough people to guard your groups. Preferably, have a gun. It's a shame that it has to come to this. But your safety is of the utmost importance.

I grew up not far from Rural Cemetery and the Catholic Cemetery just south of it on Cemetery Lane at Harding Way, it is indeed full of history, l attended school across the street at Stockton Jr High, and of course the Stockton State Hospital was located S/E of it. Interesting video, good job.👍

That Zonkey is very old. Or he us an relative of the one I visited in 2009. There was also a camel 🐫. There is a road that goes from Nights Fwrry and the Nut factory, I think, it is where the nut factory and a school and another covered bridge. There was an extremely old Victorian house. I wonder of the history there. When I took that road it was mostly a dirt road. Another road is between Knights Ferry and Sonora. I think it is eather named Sonora or is called Sonora because takes one that direction. Some where on that road I found a plack that tells of the property being a land grant. And at the end of the road we're some buildings of a long lost town. I wasn't able to find out info about it. Give the roads less travel a try.

Holt became caterpillar, and even today is run by a Holt, who also owns the san antonio spurs...so holt is probably the most influential person buried there that family is still running a business

By the way there is an alarm on our car but evidently if someone breaks the window passenger window of a car and does not open the door - just reaches into to your car (which is a high van) the alarm does not respond.!! It ruined our day being robbed at a cemetery - who would do such a thing. I hope that the person/people are punished! But the police would not even come out we had to just file a report online after driving all the way home with no passenger window and you can bet the police will do nothing about it. My husband thinks if I had brought my purse with me they would have physically attacked me for it.

I wanted you to know that you missed out a very important fact about Holt. His Holt company became Catapiler. There is a museum in Stockton called Haggis Museum. It has the small shack were he built the first Holt crawler. There is a Holt crawler there to. See several Utube videos on it also. I love history and your vids.

My husband and I went to put flowers and visit my mother, father and sister's graves since we had no been there for a long time - we live a few hundred miles away. After that we went to visit that Stockton Rural Cemetery which is located behind the cemetery where my relatives are buried - this was today and I left my purse under the front seat as far as it would go - the straps were visible - someone within 15 minutes broke our passenger side window, stole my purse with all my medical cards and ID and SS card and credit cards and all our money ($1592.00) !! We were around 100 yards from the vehicle but did not see anyone near the vehicle - except for one card with the headlights on park in front of our van and then leave very fast. There is a train track very near there and a train was going by so we heard nothing. Stockton is a very dangerous town and very crime ridden. People do not go there!!!!!
