The Yorba Family Cemetery: California's Oldest

by Marie E. Northrop,
National Geneaological Society Quarterly June 1969 pp. 96-103   Open this page in a new window


The setting is peaceful and serene. The only noise comes from the soft rustling of the pepper-tree leaves following an occasional breeze, the echoes of a lonely dog's bark or the muffled sounds from the distant freeway. Looking down from the little Yorba Cemetery into the picturesque vista of the valley gives an unexpected feeling of remoteness. A short distance from this 110-year old cemetery is the California State Historical Landmark No. 226—which is the designated site of Bernardo Yorba's ranch house. Don Bernardo set aside this burial plot in 1858 from his private property not only for the benefit of his own Yorba family but also for his “compadres” and good friends.

In 1835, Bernardo Yorba settled with his family in Orange County. The year before, Governor Jose Figueroa had granted Don Bernardo the rancho Canada de Santa Ana, the three leagues of over 13,000 acres. Years before in 1810, Bernardo's father, Jose Antonio Yorba, had received the Santiago de Santa Ana Grant of 165,000 acres from the King of Spain.

Fernando Bernardo Antonio Yorba (Don Bernardo's full name) died on November 20, 1858 and was originally buried at The Old Calvary Cemetery in Los Angeles along with others of the family. When this cemetery was abandoned, the bodies of Yorbas were removed to the Yorba Cemetery where a memorial monument was erected on April 24, 1928.

Few people, even the residents of Orange County itself, are aware of the existence of this burial site except for members of the Yorba family and the descendants of the others who are buried there. No signs are posted for identification or direction. However, the cemetery may be reached by traveling east on State Highway 91 from Los Angeles, turning left onto the Yorba Linda Freeway on Imperial Highway, turning right on Esperanza Road (which is named after Esperanza Yorba, daughter of Prudencio and Dolores Yorba), and turning left again onto a rough and narrow unauthorized access road for about a quarter of a mile.

The ravages of years of abandonment and vandalism have left the Yorba Cemetery in poor condition. Through the years there have been admirable attempts to combat this problem by donations of money and by work projects conducted primarily by descendants of the early California Yorba Family. Without the benefit of regular maintenance or any water other than the natural rainfall, it is remarkable that any trees or shrubs have survived to help beautify the grounds. Ironically the main problem ahs been the lack of water yet the surrounding property is owned by the Anaheim Union Water Company and a water ditch runs nearby! Despite this situation there are a few green bushes and pepper trees but it is still dominated by the hard sun-baked adobe that is periodically denuded of even the wild grass and weeds. The Orange County Forestry [96] Department now and then dig, cut and burn-out the area. Unfortunately along with the weeds go many of the old and weather-beaten wooden markers that give evidence of the antiquity of the site. Most are far from legible and are of no practical purpose but serve as part of the charm of the little Yorba Cemetery.

For years this property remained in the hands of the Yorba Family until it was donated to the Los Angeles Roman Catholic Archdiocese in the 1920's. Probably because of the distnce involved and the project being unrelated to the basic activities of the Church, in February of 1967 the Archdiocese deeded the approximately two hundred feet square cemetery to Orange County.

This plot of ground remains peaceful and serence—and neglected. It is hoped this condition will be changed through the restoration plans headed by Orange County's Supervisor William Philips and Dr. David L. Messenger of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Heritage Society. Then the proper recognition and respect will be given to the Yorba Family Cemetery—California's oldest!

Many humble and simple markers have been erected within this plot of ground over the years to demonstrate the reverence and love felt for the departed ones. It also gives evidence of monetary inability to convey feelings with elaborate and costly tombstones. Often the lack of funds for even the small burial fee resulted in sureptitious internments under the cover of darkness without the designation of any sort of marker or identification. Existing headstones, mostly broken and mutilated, ber the family names of Aguilar, Ames, Castillo, Celaya, Dominguez, Fuentes, Lugo, Murillo, Peralta, Reyes, Sepulveda, Vasquez, Wilson, and of course, many Yorba names. Beginning in 1954, these and others totaling over 250 entries have been collected by the author with names and dates from the markers and other sources. The newest additions to this open list have been contributed by Mr. Albert Yorba of Anaheim. There has never been a sexton per se for this cemetery, as this was a private burial ground, so an exact record is impossible to obtain but Mr. Yorba has a book containing an account of many of the payments for burial rights in this family plot. These were recorded by his father, Prudencio Yorba. Burials took place there even as late as 1939.

For the first time, an alphabetical compilation of the known burials is now offered for publication. No editorial changes have been made to alter any of the following burial information. It is printed as was found recorded on either tombstone or paper; erros and misspellings are retained. The prefact of a dagger (+) denotes the data is from the Yorba Burial Book; the asterisk (*) denotes first hand information from an original cemetery marker; the twenty Yorba entries preceded by a double dagger (++) indicates the information was obtained from the late Ellen C. Barrett of the Genealogy Department of the Los Angeles Public Library.
