Memorial Day at Historical Union Cemetery in
Redwood City, CA c.1859
Historical Union Cemetery in Redwood City, CA c.1859. If you would like to read more about Union Cemetery click this link.
Redwood City, CA: Every Memorial Day the Archives Committee and the Redwood City Library celebrate memories of Redwood City pioneers and soldiers. Better known as their Memorial Day ceremony at Union Cemetery. It is their annual Memorial Day event held on Woodside Road (CA 84) near El Camino Real in Redwood City. The celebration is every Memorial Day and starts at 10:00 AM.
Who Are The Archives and the Union Cemetery Committees?
The Archives Committee and the Union Cemetery Committee have worked on this celebration for many years. They are continuously trying to make it an experience enjoyable for all. Their efforts over the years was mainly cleaning and clearing debris until the early 1970’s.
In the 1970’s Union Cemetery condition got worse. For example. there was a need for repairs to the stone markers on graves, damages to the burial crypts, and the fencing. It didn’t stop there as there was a need to rebuild broken fixtures like the windmill and the bronze Union Soldier Statue.
The Committee worked with anyone who offered their help. This included Redwood City’s commissions and committees. The Historical Resources Advisory Committee, (HRAC) were one of them. Additionally, the City Council came to the table with their funding.
The cemetery was named a California Historical Landmark #816 in 1967, then added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[4]
In other words, many concerned residents helped. They improved the landscaping, installed lighting, and assisted with on going patrolled security. It was the combined efforts of residences who wanted to preserve Redwood City history for future generations.
The straw that broke the camel’s back
In the 1970’s Union Cemetery was a favorite site for vandals. There was extensive damage to most grave sites. Vandalism to the cemetery ran rampant. Usually around Halloween people entered into the cemetery and perform some “witch-craft rituals”. Vandals preformed grave etchings, they built fires and performed satanic rituals on make-shift alters. Damage to the gravesides was not uncommon. The grounds became an embarrassment to the whole community.
What damage was done?
Stopping the ongoing damage became top priority of concerned citizens. These citizens took it upon themselves to reclaim Union Cemetery. The desire was to return the Union Cemetery to its original state. First, they removed the bronze Union Soldier Statue. The Committee relocated it to a safe location. They hired, and paid for, cleanup and security of the Cemetery including repairs and restoration of the Union Solider Statue.
The concerned citizens took it upon themselves to repaired damaged grave sites. They fixed broken wooden crosses, head stones, and metal fencing. They found opened concrete burial crypts too. Those crypts were re-sealed and secured.
Everyone helped
The Archives Committee and the Union Cemetery Committee brought in the City Arborist for his expert advice. There was a need to grade and inspect all the trees. Including in his findings was a plan to protect the Victorian Roses in the Cemetery.
The Archives Committee’s commitment to the preservation of Union Cementer caused many residents to see what the Archives Committee had done and what a great job they did to restore our history. Their work created a sense of community pride.
The Redwood City Council was instrumental in their support of the Union Cemetery through their funding. Their ongoing resources, support and encouragement lessen the burden for this large and much needed project. The City Council along with various Commissions and Committees were forth coming with their support too.
Where can I read more about Union Cemetery?
If you would like to know more about Union Cemetery go to the Downtown Main Library located at 1044 Middlefield Road. Go to the second floor and look in the Archives Room. There’s a wealth of information about Redwood City history in that room.
You can look around this blog for other information on other historical facts of Redwood City. There are great books available on the history of Redwood City. They may be purchased at the Main Library Downtown Redwood City on the Second floor.
As a side note you’ll discover from reading these various publication the Redwood City had the FIRST public library in the State of California. Pretty impressive!
Enjoy your Memorial Day.

The 5 Items To Study Before Writing An Offer To Purchase Your New Home.
Yes you can write an offer on the home you just love and want to buy. You may save yourself lots of time and money if you take a few steps prior to writing your offer. There will be less stress in your life if you do. What are the 5 things to investigate when writing an offer?
When you get ready to place an offer on a home you should do 5 things first and then structure your offer so. By doing so you will have a better picture of your future neighborhood, community and neighbors. This is not the time to skip this step only to find out this information after you have closed your escrow. Those five things to research are as follows:
1. Job Stability:
You can research this at www.bls.gov If there are no jobs how will you be able to pay your mortgage payments?
2. Recent Sales Activity:
Although, what homes in the area have sold for is very important, Sales Volume equally is important. It shows if homes buyers want to live in a particular area of town you are considering or not. If no one wants to live there why would you want to live there?
3. Number of Building Permits:
This registers the active builder’s sentiments and future housing activity. It stands to reason, for people who make their living from selling homes, they would NOT put their money in an area if they didn’t think they couldn’t make a profit down the road.
4. Where is the best money?:
Where can you find the best home loan for your needs? Is it better at a local bank? A credit union? Maybe the current “Big 4” institutional lenders is the answer. Get on the phone and dial for dollars to find the answer.
5. Anecdotal Evidence:
Home buyers can easily find homes that are for sale online or driving around on Sunday afternoons. A resource a home buyer has available to them for local ability and guidance is the area Realtor. A Realtor not only gathers facts to your particular needs but also has knowledge of some home before they have a chance to be entered into the MLS. Realtors will help shorten your real estate learning curve.
Benefits the homebuyer:
Using these 5 actions items to help you buy a home are invaluable to you. They will aid you in making the best decision possible when buying your new home. A little research on the homebuyer’s part will make their transition into a new home easier. Homebuyers will find having fewer hurdles to jump during their home buying process.
Good luck on your home search. These are exciting times for you.
Click for (Free MLS) select your City of interest you will be sent to a list of homes.
How much home can I buy? Here’s a simple formula I learned some 36 year ago for figuring out what someone may afford when buying their new home.
Take your Gross Income, multiply it times 40%, divide by 12, and that will be your monthly payment you would qualify for from the bank. (This is if you have good credit and is only a ball park estimate.) The interest rate factor for 5% is $5.37. I know there is cheaper money out there but this will give you a good general idea. If you want to know another interest rate factor go to the internet and type in the words “amortization table”, look at what the figure is for $1,000 under the interest rate you want a factor for and use that number as your interest rate factor. How much home can I buy?
What is the formula for knowing the price of the home I can buy?
Here’s an example: Your Gross Income is $50,000: multiple by 40% = $20,000 divide by 12 = $1,666.66/month divide by interest rate factor $5.37 for 5% = $310,366.21. Now add your down payment to that number and you will know what you can buy using a loan from a Conservative lender. Again this is a ballpark method and only gives you an educated idea of what you might be able to buy. Remember this does NOT include any closing costs you may incur during your escrow period.

The Chronicle of Christmas
I want to wish each and every one of you the best of your Holiday Season and a very Merry Christmas. This is always a time of year when we all treat each other like we should all the time. The spirit of the Holidays warms my heart and I hope it does yours too. Enjoy! The Chronicle of Christmas
Starting in the 1600’s
1600’s: The Puritans made it illegal to mention St. Nicolas’ name. Therefore it was also illegal to exchange gifts, light a candle, or sing Christmas carols.
17th century: Dutch immigrants brought with them the legend of Sinter Klaas.
1773: Santa first appeared in the media as St. A Claus.
Christmas Presents
1804: The New York Historical Society was founded with St. Nicolas as its patron saint. And then members engaged in the Dutch practice of gift-giving at Christmas.
1809: Washington Irving, writing under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker, included Saint Nicolas in his book “A History of New York.” Nicolas after that is described as riding into town on a horse.
1812: Irving, revised his book to include Nicolas riding over the trees in a wagon.
1821: William Gilley printed a poem about “Santeclaus” who was dressed in fur and drove a sleigh drawn by a single reindeer.
1822: Dentist Clement Clarke Moore is believed by many to have written a poem “An Account of a Visit from Saint Nicolas,” which became better known as “The Night before Christmas”. In other words Santa is portrayed as an elf with a miniature sleigh equipped with eight reindeer. They were named in the poem as Blitzem, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Donder, Prancer, and Vixen. Others attribute the poem to a contemporary, Henry Livingston, Jr.
The start of Santa
1841: J.W. Parkinson, a Philadelphia merchant, hired a man to dress up in a “Criscringle” outfit and climb the chimney of his store.
1863: Above all illustrator Thomas Nast created images of Santa for the Christmas editions of Harper’s Magazine. These continued through the 1890’s.
1860s: President Abraham Lincoln asked Nast to create a drawing of Santa with some Union soldiers. After that this image of Santa supporting the enemy had a demoralizing influence on the Confederate army. Maybe an early example of psychological warfare.
1897: Francis P Church, Editor of the New York Sun, wrote an editorial in response to a letter from an eight year-old girl, Virginia O’Hanlon. She had written the paper asking whether there really was a Santa Claus. Therefore It has become known as the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” letter
After the 1900’s
1920’s: The image of Santa became so well known as a bearded, over-weight, jolly man dressed in a red suit with white trim.
1931: Haddon Sundblom, illustrator for The Coca-Cola ™ company drew a series of Santa images. Until 1964 Coca-Cola used their Santa images in their Christmas advertisements. The company holds the trademark for the Coca-Cola Santa design. Christmas ads including Santa continue to the present day.
1939 Copywriter Robert L. May of the Montgomery Ward Company created a poem titled Rudolph, the ninth reindeer. He created an ostracized reindeer with a shiny red nose. The Chronicle of Christmas. Rudolph became a hero one foggy Christmas eve. Santa was part-way through deliveries when the visibility started to degenerate. Because of the foggy Christmas Eve Santa added Rudolph to his team of reindeer to help illuminate the path.
1949 famous song
1949: Johnny Marks wrote the song “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. Rudolph was rejected by the other reindeer therefore Santa relocated him to the North Pole. They wouldn’t let him play in their reindeer games because of his strange looking nose. Gene Autry recorded his all time best seller. Next to “White Christmas” it is the most popular song of all time.
1993: In addition an urban folk tale began to circulate about a Japanese department store. The Japanese department store supposedly displayed a life-sized Santa Claus crucified on a cross. It never happened.
1997: In conclusion Artist Robert Cenedella drew a painting of a crucified Santa Claus. First showed up in a window of the New York’s Art Students League. The painting received intense criticism from some religious groups. However, his drawing was a protest. He was trying to show how Santa Claus had replaced Jesus Christ as the most important personality at Christmas time.
