Harry Adin Webb was buried in "Yerba Buena Cemetery"

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Established in 1850 and closed in 1871. In March, 1850, the remains from Bush Street Cemetery were moved to Yerba Buena Cemetery. For more than four years it was the only burial place for Protestants, and 7,000 to 8,000 were buried there.
The Yerba Buena Cemetery was abolished by the city hall act, passed by the State Legislature of 1869-70, providing for the removal of the cemetery and the erection of a City Hall on the property. The validity of this act was fought long and hard in the courts, on the ground that the tract was sacredly dedicated as a cemetery, and the fight was carried to the Supreme Court of the State in the case of San Francisco vs. P. II. Cannavan, who was at that time a member of the Board of Supervisors. The act was upheld, however, and the cemetery was removed in 1871.
The cemetery remains were moved to Golden Gate Cemetery beginning in 1870.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Golden Gate Cemetery was established in 1868 and the remains of several cemeteries were moved here. It became Lincoln Park in 1909. But many were left behind and their markers removed and recycled. There is no way to tell what went where, but, there is documentation pointing to seawalls or break-waters being constructed at the Aquatic Park and Marina Green as well as bedding for the Great Highway at Ocean Beach and landfill on the northern slopes of Lands End, just over the side of the old Golden Gate City Cemetery.
According to the San Francisco Municipal Reports, June 30, 1893, the area for this cemetery was reserved in 1868. The first interment was on July 3, 1870. On May 10, 1887, the interments included: 267 Pioneer dead from Yerba Buena Cemetery, 6,454 Indigent dead, 980 from Associations and Societies and 4,070 Chinese. The cemeteries moved here included: Beth Olam (Jewish), Caledonian, Chinese (6), Colored Masons, French Benevolent, German Benevolent, Grand Army of the Republic, Greco-Rusian, Italian, Japanese, Knights of Pythias (German), Master Mariners, Old Friends, Potter's Field, [Independent Order of] Red Men, Rusian, Salem, Scandinavian, Seamen's, Slavonic-Illyric, and St. Andrew's. In 1893, the interments included 11,000 indigent and 7,000 for association and societies.
On December 20, 1891, six hundred ninety six (696) bodies were moved from Golden Gate Cemetery in San Francisco to Salem Memorial Park in Colma. This is a Jewish Cemetery.
In 1899, eight thousand (8,000) bodies were moved to the Italian Cemetery in Colma from Golden Gate Cemetery (also known as the City Cemetery).
