Follow Old Foothill for several blocks and soon you can't miss it on the left. Park your car, open the pedestrian gate and have a walk around like I did. I found a solitary and meandering stroll to be best as I silently made out names, dates, and possibly circumstances. The sandy Mottsville Cemetery sits in the Sierra foothills with dozens of old year-old wind-beaten trees shading the graveyard floor.  Many family stories lie beneath those branches, with grave markers going back to the mid-1800s.  Some graves are marked and some are not, which in the later case makes you wonder. While looking at the markers, old family names show up: Lampe, Brockliss, Van Sickle, Biaggi, Dressler, and more.  Intertwined relationships at one time earned this area the name of "Cousins Valley" of which branches of these families exist here today.  There was once a Mottsville town in this area, which was named after settler Hiram Mott and was founded along the Emigrant Trail around the same time as nearby Genoa. It was one of the stops along the trail to the California Gold Fields and maybe Virginia City in the other direction.  The cemetery itself was established around 1854 when a Mott family member died as a child.  The Mottsville Cemetery Association maintains the grounds and coordinates any burials. They also sponsor clean-up days, as weeds and pine needles are part of the landscape here. Local residents (for example, Laurie Hickey) occasionally offer tours, which really brings the history of the cemetery and their families to life.  You may also see flags placed on the graves of veterans who served their country on our behalf.

Before heading back to the Bay Area today, Gayle and I took a walk in and around the Genoa…read moreCemetery. We also brought along the dog and the kid as we explored this most interesting place that dates back to the original founding of the old Mormon Station. Snowshoe Thompson is buried here, as are many of Gayle's beloved relatives. My first experience in a cemetery was when my mother used to air me out on top of a tombstone when I was a baby. Since then, I can't say that really a "Fan" of any of these places. However, when you consider this cemetery's community history, the various families represented, accents such as animal and religious sculptures, and the way that individual plots are cherished and maintained, it's all very fascinating and educational. However, I could have done without my son's retelling of the Jonah Hex movie during our stroll, and opining about his preference for a marble tombstone some day in the far future. The Genoa Cemetery also offers a scenic view to the valley below and the mountains above, and a sense of calm for this final resting place. There are also separate Masonic and other sections, and it's easy to walk around at a respectful pace and path.

While Genoa is mostly known for that fact and the museum in town, the cemetery is another piece of history that's worth a stop. In it you will find the tomb of "Snowshoe" Thompson, who was famous for delivering the mail in the Sierras. There are a number of old memorials in the cemetery. I found the grave for David Walley, for which the resort we're staying at down the road is named. This is an easy stop, you can actually drive through the cemetery to get to Snowshoe's tomb. There are nice views of the valley below, and it is a peaceful spot. Lots of interesting photo ops for you photogs out there.
