Glad to see you covered the "Other half" of the duel. Ben Holt also had a town named after him, Holt California, just down Highway 4 west of Stockton. Not much of a town today, but back in the 20's - 30's a booming farm community concern.
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
He did a good job on the video ! Still many more in the cemetery to cover though. Lots of history here. Stockton Rural still one of my favorites. As you know, I've been roaming around those headstones for many years now. Let's keep the Facebook page going and keep adding names to Findagrave. I'm glad to see others, like History Hunters, you and others, telling our American History. We really do live in a great country.
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!!!!!
I lived in Stockton my whole life and I didn't know a lot of this info about our graveyards and the people buried in them, this is really cool, thank you for the video and information!

@@jbenziggy Funny you should talk about Sterling Price and Missouri. I grew up in Lexington, Mo, which was one of the towns on Price's march, and where Price and Mulligan fought. There's a marker in our city park marking the spot where the Confederates stole the Union's pay pouch. There's also a Confederate cannonball in one of our courthouse pillars. I love my hometown. It is seeping in history.
This is an incredible video. Your research into the lives of the deceased is first class. I have learnt so much about American history. Congratulations on a fascinating production. Have enjoyed every minute.
I so enjoyed the history lesson on the people buried here.Makes the people more "real" with the small biographies you give.Thank you so much for the tour! Looking forward to more!
Benjamin Holt Drive is obviously named after him in North Stockton, connecting I-5 with Pacific Ave. and N. El Dorado St. James Budd was Governor when my paternal grandmother was born in 1895 in Stockton. She grew up near the intersection of E. Lindsay and N. Stanislaus Streets. My dad was also born in Stockton, so I have deep roots here.
I get it, my daughter married a man from Hicksville Ohio!! I was born and raised in Modesto. Wish I had known more about our history back then. Really enjoy your videos.
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!

I'm a Stocktonian and very familiar with this cemetery. I remember one time I was there reading a book on some steps and for some reason, something made me turn to look behind me; and there was Budd. I did not know that we had a California governor buried in our City, Pretty Cool!
another great and informative video.i wonder how many people appreciate the time of all the research involved in making these historical videos.it is also costly. THANKS JEFF.
That was one interesting vlog. Stocken Cemetery certainly had a lot of dignitaries and interesting people including that movie actress. I like that you are able to show photos of a significant # of people to match to the graves you are talking about.
Solari Ranch,Jack Tone Horse Ranch,Garamendi Ranch,,Ospital Ranch…history of the “brands”.. and history it’s registration..with the Ag Commissioner will give a history of the “multigenerational history “ of the trials of the great ranches… I used to stop in a cafe of the biggest cherry ranch owner.. along the road above Linden.. on the back road to Valley Springs… The cherry pie was compared to no other…. It was the Scolari ranch owners wife.. She passed on .. not before ..I listened to the farmers discuss .. that the “cherries did not have legs”.. by the ranch owners in the area.,, because it rained…The social life … the travails…their frustrations.. .of land owners…that shaped the “history” of central California due to the “longevity of the pioneer families The swindle of the local people in the water rights when those “rights were sold”.. New Hogan dam had water rights down river sold to investors from England..The contract had a “word”.. that gave the locals only the last 17,000 acre feet .. in its deception ..The water for locals went away… The last 17,000 acre feet had algae.. for the local community.. I lived there ..The water company described the “brown sedimented fallout in a full tub of water for my kids… as “potable”…. The only problem..when the door was shut.. the kids eyes burned from the chlorine in the small bathroom… The history of water in central California.. and the reservoirs… all tied to the great ranches and “England”.. grabbing water rights below the dam.
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.
Great video! One of my favorite places to explore! David Terry has been one of my subjects in history for some time now. He was involved in so much California and Texas history! When I first visited his family plot I noticed Gridley"s memorial and was amazed of the grand tribute to a man I had never heard of! It is a full size statue of Gridley on a pedestal at least 15 feet tall with hundreds of soldiers` headstones facing it! JUST AMAZING! Gridley was the Man!
Wow awesome thank you .I always wanted to know who those big cemetery plots history. All my Family is buried there. Going way back to 1800"s my great great great grandma there
the budd family and my family were friends from way way back,through the years it kind of faded away with the death of my 82 year old mother and the passing of her friends the budds. really a imformative video and true history,great video jeff.
Stockton City has a special place in my heart. I visited these cemetery several times, visiting old town folks from Mabini, Bohol Philippines which was buried right on these beautiful cemetery. I left a happy memories right here.
I am learning a lot about America your videos are very interesting and very informative at the moment I’m just getting over an operation and I’m at home so I’ve been watching a lot of your videos thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos I am really enjoying them👍
I grew up three blocks away, and as a kid I never went into the cemetery. I never knew the history and I really appreciate the time, effort and research you did. Very fun and informative show. Thank you!
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.👍
Really enjoy your passion for history, I try as best I can to tell my grandkids about my family's history as well as the surrounding communities....keep it up, I truly enjoy it!!

Would like to see you do a segment on the China town of Rio Vista sometime. Your coverage of the history of the San Joaquin Valley is outstanding. These vids should be played in every history class. Thanks for your efforts Jeff and Sarah

I consider myself a Stockton Boy from Grade School up to graduation of Franklin High School and onto my College degree from Delta College after all these years gone by never knew just how rich the dead are abounding in Stockton. Wow that was amazing details and only a few big names did I recall such as HOLT and SPERRY odd enough my Uncle was Partner back in Texas with Hayes. Bass and Hayes Foundry out of the Fort Worth suburbs. Wonder if that Texas lawman was related to my Uncle's partner? Interesting how we all come to Stockton as I was born in Fort Worth and my parents moved to Stockton back in 1971. Well I have wondered about all those grave markers as the Stockton Cemetery is not a small one by any means. Thank you for the History.
I never visited this cemetery when I lived in Stockton, and wish I had now! The rural cemetery in Santa Rosa, where I was born and raised, is considered one of the most beautiful in California... lots of great interest there, too. Check it out!
Thank you very much! There are nice parts to Stockton but it's a rough city to be sure. Lots of cities in the Central Valley of California are impoverished. It's quite sad what's happened to California because of its political leadership.

Watched all your shows during this quarantine!! Loved all - so much history and yes I also lived in Hickman Ca and don’t like the name much - Hahha especially when your coming from Chicago Ill to Hickman Ca !!
History Hunters my parents wanted to get away from the cold weather and the only family we had lived in Waterford Ca !!! So dad got a job in a dairy ... believe us it was a Total shock .. especially to my older 5 sibilings .
Hi Jeff, great history information 👍🏻as always. Enjoying the videos. Just wondering if you have yet to investigate old graveyards in Santa Cruz, CA.? It’s been over 25 years I cannot remember the place but it was by a park where the Pop Warner football was played and I took a walk and found an old graveyard nettled among tall cedar trees it was really cool to read the head stones, as the folks where from different countries. If the place comes to my memory I’ll send it onto you. Thanks again for all your awesome filming and trips. From Bakersfield😎

It used to be rural. I would take my step kids their. We called it the Monument Park because there are so many statues there. My x’s mother and aunts are there as well as other family members. It was fun to walk around and read all of the tombstones.
Come to Tracy. My neighbor owned the Tracy Press for decades he’s in his 80’s but sharp as a tack. Sure he has all sorts of info n photos of stuff you’d be interested in.
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.
Hay Jeff found that old grave yard in Santa Cruz CA it’s called Evergreen Cemetery. Check out on Goggle maps. There pretty old. Okay looking forward to seeing more of your trips, it’s awesome to see and hear stories I didn’t know about. Thanks 😊
Yeah, I can't understand why duels were ever permitted as a means of settling dispute. Somebody usually doesn't walk away. I call that murder, don't you?
My understanding is that the town site was named for Gridley, a wool grower and grain farmer who at the time was one of the three or four largest landowners in Butte County.
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.
Check out the cemetery in Halifax Nova Scotia I was there in 2016 and the crypt of General Robert Scott who was with Cornwallis and burned the white house in the war of 1812! It was very interesting!!
Manteca has an old cemetery off of Lathrop Road ..It has fog.. that hangs low..that rolls out on the Highway… Creepiest cemetery around… lots of big old ranches around with private cemetery..
Glad to see you covered the "Other half" of the duel. Ben Holt also had a town named after him, Holt California, just down Highway 4 west of Stockton. Not much of a town today, but back in the 20's - 30's a booming farm community concern.

I'm catching up on some episodes from the recent past and this is a great one that I got a kick out of. A lot going on in those folks lives!
'She's a dead Ringer.' That killed ME! Lovely video, per usual.
Glad to hear it made you laugh! Thanks. Lauren!
I so enjoyed the history lesson on the people buried here.Makes the people more "real" with the small biographies you give.Thank you so much for the tour! Looking forward to more!
Beautiful well kept tombstones. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I bet I could do a thousand videos in that cemetery alone! So much history!
when I lived in Stockton my wife and I used to go look at the old graves there may sound morbid but it makes me miss home I left in 2002
History is fascinating ... and that includes the dead!
Nothing morbid about checking out graves. There's a lot of interesting history and we can learn a lot from the past. I enjoy grave hunting.

I am learning a lot about America your videos are very interesting and very informative at the moment I’m just getting over an operation and I’m at home so I’ve been watching a lot of your videos thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos I am really enjoying them👍
So happy to hear we have an eager audience who likes our works! Thanks very much!
I grew up three blocks away, and as a kid I never went into the cemetery. I never knew the history and I really appreciate the time, effort and research you did. Very fun and informative show. Thank you!
Thanks very much! It's not too late to go check it out if or when you are in Stockton!
well done thanks for all the history.
Very much appreciated, sir!
Thanks for another well done video.
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
Thank you. This is a wonderful video.
Well thanks very much!
Great Video! Surprised Russ Meyer is buried in Stockton. Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! & Beyond the Valley of the Dolls are camp classics.
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
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.👍
Really enjoy your passion for history, I try as best I can to tell my grandkids about my family's history as well as the surrounding communities....keep it up, I truly enjoy it!!
Thanks Randy! I really appreciate you watching! Off to make more videos!
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!!!!!
Again very very interesting thankyou
Would like to see you do a segment on the China town of Rio Vista sometime. Your coverage of the history of the San Joaquin Valley is outstanding. These vids should be played in every history class. Thanks for your efforts Jeff and Sarah
I like all your episodes.
Thank you, Ron! Makes us happy!
Thanks for all the research. Lots of history & amazing stories & some wild life ! It must be haunted here !

Great tour! You always include such interesting backstories.
this was the best one yet! Love the new format with the inserts
Leah-Gaye Mettler thanks you!!!
Love your video's, i love learning about history and all the stories that go with it!!
Omg, I grew up less than a mile from that cemetery and never visited. I will definitely visit next time I'm in town. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! Please visit there! It’s a wonderful place! I’ve heard to vigilant locking your car as thefts have occurred there.
I consider myself a Stockton Boy from Grade School up to graduation of Franklin High School and onto my College degree from Delta College after all these years gone by never knew just how rich the dead are abounding in Stockton. Wow that was amazing details and only a few big names did I recall such as HOLT and SPERRY odd enough my Uncle was Partner back in Texas with Hayes. Bass and Hayes Foundry out of the Fort Worth suburbs. Wonder if that Texas lawman was related to my Uncle's partner? Interesting how we all come to Stockton as I was born in Fort Worth and my parents moved to Stockton back in 1971. Well I have wondered about all those grave markers as the Stockton Cemetery is not a small one by any means. Thank you for the History.
Find your vlogs very interesting..Thanks
Glad you like them, Karen! Thanks!
I never visited this cemetery when I lived in Stockton, and wish I had now! The rural cemetery in Santa Rosa, where I was born and raised, is considered one of the most beautiful in California... lots of great interest there, too. Check it out!
Oops, I see you've been to the Santa Rosa cemetery... awesome, will watch that video next!
Very interesting Jeff.
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
Thanks for the history lesson.
Come to evergreen cemetery in Oakland. It’s so great! Lots of modern Bay Area history including one of the Little Rascals and hell’s angels.
This was an amazing tour and very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed this.
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
Very impressive monument for Mr Gridley. Wonderful cemetery.
Very Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
My pleasure! Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
Very well done video. Informative and of professionally narrated. What is Stockton like today I wonder?
Thank you very much! There are nice parts to Stockton but it's a rough city to be sure. Lots of cities in the Central Valley of California are impoverished. It's quite sad what's happened to California because of its political leadership.
Love Your videos.
Thank you that was so Kewl to see all the VIP'S buried in Stockton Cemetery
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
That little joke was pretty good.❤️❤️❤️
Oh you mean the part about the dead ringer? LOL. Thanks very much.
2 years ago I spend a hot day in the summer trying to find Gridley's grave. Apparently I was at the wrong Cemetery. Great video!
Which one were you at? The Stockton Rural Cemetery is behind the Catholic Cemetery and it was tricky to find at first.
@@jbenziggy I'm not sure. I think it was in the ghetto.

Watched all your shows during this quarantine!! Loved all - so much history and yes I also lived in Hickman Ca and don’t like the name much - Hahha especially when your coming from Chicago Ill to Hickman Ca !!
Thank you for watching! Wow, how did that Chicago to Hickman transition happen? That's unique!
History Hunters my parents wanted to get away from the cold weather and the only family we had lived in Waterford Ca !!! So dad got a job in a dairy ... believe us it was a Total shock .. especially to my older 5 sibilings .
Very Good..........
Been to this cemetery many times good to know the history, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Alot of facts I didn't know about my own home town. Nice videos man. You get lot of good information from these videos... Even when your stoned lol...
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
My family has been in the area from 1853, you should do a part 2. Lot of founding families buried there.
I love the old rural cemeteries! We have a great one up here in Santa Rosa that has Ripley from "Ripley's Believe it or not " buried here.
I hope to get up there this year! Luther Burbank is also buried up there!
Interesting and informative . Thanks.
Hi Jeff, great history information 👍🏻as always. Enjoying the videos. Just wondering if you have yet to investigate old graveyards in Santa Cruz, CA.? It’s been over 25 years I cannot remember the place but it was by a park where the Pop Warner football was played and I took a walk and found an old graveyard nettled among tall cedar trees it was really cool to read the head stones, as the folks where from different countries. If the place comes to my memory I’ll send it onto you. Thanks again for all your awesome filming and trips. From Bakersfield😎
New Subscriber here. Love your channel bro!

I live in Stockton, didnt know these ppl were buried here. Ive got family and friends buried there
It used to be rural. I would take my step kids their. We called it the Monument Park because there are so many statues there. My x’s mother and aunts are there as well as other family members. It was fun to walk around and read all of the tombstones.
I love 5 minutes away from here and visit almost every Wednesday so my wife can do find a grave request
Interesting video!
Thank you very much for watching! And I'm glad it kept your attention!
Another phenomenal video. The next time I do an Army funeral here I will take more time to explore and walk into the Daggett mausoleum.
Thank you for watching!
You mentioned Black Bart. I’ve visited his grave in Marysville, CA about 45 minutes north of Sacramento.
We did a show on that grave too but there is absolutely no proof that is Boles. I don’t think it would even stand up in court.
"Dead Ringer" good one.
Come to Tracy. My neighbor owned the Tracy Press for decades he’s in his 80’s but sharp as a tack. Sure he has all sorts of info n photos of stuff you’d be interested in.
Good stuff buddy
Thank you very much my friend!
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.
Hay Jeff found that old grave yard in Santa Cruz CA it’s called Evergreen Cemetery. Check out on Goggle maps. There pretty old. Okay looking forward to seeing more of your trips, it’s awesome to see and hear stories I didn’t know about. Thanks 😊
just keep it coming look up history especially California's
More is coming this weekend!
Well done. Never knew Stockton had so many well known people.
Ok, back to the foothills with ya!
Tell the tale of Jenny Lind. Or the Chiliean War.
Museum in Calaveras across from the “Black Bart Inn”… pretty interesting near the local cemetary…
Yes we did visit that museum and did a show on it. ruclips.net/video/sA8kk1mMoeI/видео.html
where's sarah?? i love your videos ...thank you for doing what you do !! i love HISTORY!!!!!!!
Sarah will be in my video that should be out tomorrow! Thanks so much for watching our shows! We love what we do!
That was pretty cool. 😀
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sounds like Terry had it coming for him, the law has definitely changed since the late 1800s . Great info
Yeah, I can't understand why duels were ever permitted as a means of settling dispute. Somebody usually doesn't walk away. I call that murder, don't you?
Old dreams and hopes of long lost lives.....which one included a worthy cause?....always makes me think what was it all about?!
The best we can do is a life we enjoy and shoot for the stars!
STAGG High school class of 1989! Do you have a video on Victory park and ( I forgot the name of the museum there) Thanks!
My family found the city of Marysville, I'm wondering if the town of Gridley was name after Ruel?
My understanding is that the town site was named for Gridley, a wool grower and grain farmer who at the time was one of the three or four largest landowners in Butte County.
@@jbenziggy Thanks
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.
You need to watch my video on the Stockton Rural cemetery. I visited the grave of Benjamin Holt.
Check out the cemetery in Halifax Nova Scotia I was there in 2016 and the crypt of General Robert Scott who was with Cornwallis and burned the white house in the war of 1812! It was very interesting!!
Manteca has an old cemetery off of Lathrop Road ..It has fog.. that hangs low..that rolls out on the Highway… Creepiest cemetery around… lots of big old ranches around with private cemetery..
