Description
Peoples Cemetery is located at 273 Cemetery Avenue in San Andreas, Calaveras County, California. Established during the Gold Rush era, it is operated and maintained by the San Andreas Cemetery District, which was formed in 1943 to assume responsibility for a public cemetery in the community. The grounds cover approximately 11.55 acres and contain about 700 burial sites, with roughly half currently in use. Sections within the cemetery include the Masonic Cemetery and Odd Fellows Cemetery. A former Grand Army of the Republic plot was associated with Civil War-era artillery pieces distributed to San Andreas in 1913; the surviving cannon is now part of the Veterans Memorial at the Calaveras County Government Center. Burial availability and records should be confirmed with the San Andreas Cemetery District.
