** THIS WAS THE CASE FOR HER. She is buried in Laurel Hill Mound, the mass interment site for remains relocated from Laurel Hill Cemetery. There are no individual markers. ∼
**The following is the obit of Giovanna.
The Pioneer San Jose, CA 15 Mar 1895
Mme. Giovanna Bianchi died in San Francisco, February 22d, aged 67 years. Although not a pioneer of the earliest days in California history, she was said to be the mother of music in San Francisco. Mme. Bianchi had a repertoire of forty-two operas, and such a favorite as she was probably never known in the state.
At the time Signor E. Bianchi and his wife arrive there but three theaters in the city, the Metropolitan, Maguire's Opera House and the Lyceum. For a number of years Mme. Bianchi starred at the old Metropolitan and other theaters. Tiring of stage life, and at the solicitation of many of her admirers, she concluded to devote her attention to teaching, and hundreds of local choir-singers and many people have since gained prestige through their voices owe their success to the careful and kindly training of Mme. Bianchi.
