Jose de la Luz Arellanes enlisted at Santa Barbara July 25 as private with 1st Battalion Native California Cavalry, Company C and mustered in July 26, 1864. At enlistment he was described as age 19 years, height 5 feet 5 inches, with a dark complexion, grey eyes, and black hair. Additionally his birthplace was recorded at Santa Barbara and his occupation Ranchero. Private Arrelanes mustered out with Company C at Presidio San Francisco April 2, 1866. Jose, at age 24 years, married Refugia Garcia, age 17 years, a daughter of Sgt. Vicente Garcia and Maria Antonia de Jesus Carlon, January 18, 1869. The card record for his Government issued headstone indicates that Jose died February 19, 1879 and was buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, Ventura. His obituary was published as follows: "An accident occurred at the San Feliciano mines, in Piru Canyon, on Wednesday, the 19th inst., in which one man was killed and two others buried in a tunnel in which three men were working. Two of them succeeded in exricating themselves, but the third was unable, before he could be rescued the breath departed from his body. The deceased Jose de la Luz [sic] Arrellanes [sic], was well known here, as this was his home. He was about thirty-six years of age. He had quite a number of relatives at this place, and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday last and a verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. (Ventura Free Press, Feb. 22, 1879) In a newspaper article describing the 1902 Memorial Day activities of the Grand Army of the Republic Post [G.A.R.] at Ventura the name of J.D. Arellanes was mentioned at being a veteran of the Mexican War. (Ventura Free Press, June 06, 1902)
In the 1960's, the City of Ventura abandoned its two City owned pioneer cemeteries, St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery founded in 1862, and adjacent Ventura Protestant Cemetery founded in 1889. These two cemeteries located at Main and Poli Streets in San Buenaventura were converted into a public park, where the remains of over 3,000 of the City's pioneer residents are still buried, the headstones and monuments were disposed of in Hall Canyon in the hills above San Buenaventura and the rest used for landfill in the nearby Santa Clara River. Over the years several families moved the remains of their ancestors across town to Ivy Lawn Memorial Park but the city did nothing to protect the remaining graves of these early pioneers. No effort was made to maintain, relocate, protect or honor the graves of the many military veterans remaining. The original headstone receipt is held by Steve Schleder, who created the "Restore St. Mary's Cemetery" website. "This antiqued paper receipt, after exhaustive research, is all that remains of the actual Federal military issue marble headstone illegally removed (grave desecrated) from Jose de la Luz Arellanes's grave by Ed Lupton, Park Supervisor and the 1965 City Council of San Buenaventura, CA."
