Blog Start....Pacheco Cemetery Friends

It's time to get the information out there that we have gathered over the past 5 years about the historic Pacheco Pioneer Cemtery, Pacheco, CA. Begun in 1862, when landowner, George P. Loucks allowed the burial of a young boy on his property, the cemetery has grown and groaned over the years.

Friends of Pacheco Cemetery, Inc formed in 2003, in order to research the history of the cemetery and those buried in it; to provide continuity of caring about the cemetery's condition; to work with owners and/or government entities to provide for its care and preservation.

We have gathered the burial records of over 2200 people who have been interred there. We have collated reams of information on the original land grant, the deed transfers, and the ownership issues. More will be added as time goes on.
