multiple blows to the head --
it was unknown who commit-
ted the crime. He was 60 years
old.
Jo Chang.Cook was born in
China in 1864• All that is

Ah Coon was born in 1852 in
China• He came to California
in 1879. He worked as a

cardiac dropsy•
Mary Anna Foote (buried
in the "white" cemetery)
was only a day old when she
died. Her father was Moy
Foote, a merchant in town.
He had come over from
China. Her mother was Chin
Lui Leeu, who was born in
San Francisco. Mary Anne died
from atelectasis neonatorum,
lung collapse in a newborn.
CEMETERY, from page 15B
hard to support their country
from afar, while still support-
ing the town in which they
lived.
Instead of realizing the
luxury of having such a
historical site to teach a
neglected part of history,
we've continued to deny its
full potential.
All I want to do is bring
~ttention to this unfortunate
piece of land that should
never have been forgotten by
its community.
Calin Turcotte will give a
presentation about the Mary
Anna Foote burial issue
Saturday, Sept. 17, at "A
Grave Occasion." Tickets for
the museum fundraiser cost
$60 and include dinner,
dessert, tours, entertainment
and one glass of wine. Tickets
are available at Epilog Books
and at plumasmuseum.org.
For more information, call
the museum at 283.6320.
