History
[edit | edit source]Anaheim Cemetery was founded in 1866,[3] or 1867.[1] Founding trustees of this cemetery included Theodore Schmidt, an immigrant from Bielefeld, Germany; and John Peter Zeyn, a merchant from San Francisco.[4] The Pioneer Gate was erected in 1915, and donated by Fredrick A. Hartmann.[4]
The earliest graves were of the German immigrant population, and some of the early German tombstones are intricately carved.[2] Many of the early leaders of Anaheim and Orange County are interred at this cemetery.
