I want to go to visit and place flowers on my husbands Great Great Great Grandfathers Grave there. As soon as we get a chance I want to go there. He passed away in November 1857 and is marker is quite beautiful. I pry it is still there. His name is Thomas Marston. Can you tell me where he is located in the cemetery?

Mary's Cemetery has been at the corner of County Rd 98 and County Rd 15 since 1857. Prominent pioneer families of Yolo County are buried there. The cemetery is surrounded by farmlands on 3 sides, with the main entrance facing County Rd 98. A small chapel, a California Landmark, was built in 1901 in the corner of the cemetery nearest County Rd 15, and County Rd 98, facing East. It can seat about 20 people and has built in altar, pulpit, and pews. It last was opened to the public several decades ago for a wedding. It is too old, and in fragile condition, to be opened now.
My late mother, Mary Alice Richter Frazier, was administrator/caretaker of the cemetery for many years in the mid to late 20th century. She would place flowers on members of her mother's family buried there year round on major holidays and birthdays.
Many of the oldest tombstones (mid to late 19th century) have fallen into disrepair, or been vandalized, over the last 50+ years as many of those buried in Mary's Cemetery have no surviving family members to tend the grave sites.

Beautiful and peaceful

Nice little cemetey to drink some beers at with your friends at night. Don't worry, we are respectfull.

This place is amazing, it's mandatory I visit these sacred grounds whenever I'm visiting family in Woodland, CA. These burial grounds date as far back as the early to mid 1800's to present. Some tombstones have shifted naturally from the ground which give it unique character, unfortunately some vandals have destroyed some beautiful craftsmanship within this location. If you decide to visit, respect these ancient pieces of art with care so they can be admired for years to come.
