From Ancestry.com, San Francisco Newspaper, BARRITT, Wm., In Grass Valley, Oct. 27, 1868, William Barritt, aged 38 yrs. Paper: Oct. 31, 1868
Many of the graves from this era are unmarked and there is no record of their location. Sad but true. Mr. Barritt is no exception. Only an old Mortuary Book places him in this cemetery. Book gives a location of "Freeground, Blk., 1, Lot 12". Cemetery mapping system changed over the years. Records burned. There is NO map of this area. I would GUESS it is the large empty field to the North of the Garden of the Last Supper. Only one grave remains marked in that area, Spenny, and that is because his family fenced it in with an iron gate.
