"If I had not been able to locate her, a feeling of true disconnect and sadness would have surely filled me. To not be able to find a loved one seems criminal. In a sense, that is the moral of this story that Winegarner brilliantly lays out for us. So many descendants have no way of finding and connecting with their past, their loved ones, their families. That is in the hands of the city. Everyone has a right to proper burial, and everyone has a right to be found, even if it is centuries later."

I owned a house on Ewing Terrance off of Masonic just south of Geary for few years in the early 1980's.
I'm not sure but this location may have been the site of one of these early cemeteries on what was then the western edge of town.
However, it is documented that this location was the site of a baseball field for awhile following the 1906 Earthquate & Fire, called Ewing Field, where the SF Seals played during the early 1900's, presumably after any gravesites located there were moved.

@sgt1372 Yep! It was part of Calvary Cemetery, the bigger of SF's two Catholic cemeteries (the other is Mission Dolores). Here's a map: https://www.foundsf.org/images/8/81/Cemetery-map-highlighted_1873.jpg
