APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION.. AUTHORIZING AN STAFF REPORT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY PARKS, RECREATION
AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND
UCR FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH SERVICES AT
SECCOMBE LAKE PARK.
During the preparation of the soil for planting grass on the Seccombe Lake Park site,
the construction crews uncovered what appears to be human graves which may have been
a part of the former cemetary which was located on the south side of 7th Street
until it was moved sometime around the turn of the century to its present site on
the north side of 7th Street in Pioneer Cemetary. In an effort to determine the
origin of these graves, historical research needs to be done in conjunction with
archaeological investigation.
The cost of research must be borne initially by the City, however, there are funds
remaining in the Phase 1A construction budget which were to be used for the former
Martin Adobe site which may be a source for funding this grave site investigation.
Inquiries have been made and the Development Management Division of State Parks
and Recreation Department is working on this element of the project. It is antic-
ipated that these funds will be available within the next 3-4 weeks. City fund-
ing which will enable an immediate beginning for this project could be from the
account that was established for construction of a restroom, but which was postponed
because bids for construction came in at more than was available to pay for it.
This department has been authorized by the State Department of Parks and Recreation
to proceed with investigation of the grave site area. To that end, a proposal has
been requested from the University of California at Riverside, Historical Research
Department to do historical research of the area. The proposal and agreement are
attached hereto for your review along with the resolution authorizing this department
to enter into contractural agreement with UCR for their services. It is recommended
that the resolution and agreement be approved so that progress may be made to complete
the investigation and get on with the construction of the park.

The purpose of the research is to determine the size, history, and
provenience of several historic burials discovered during construc-
tion activities at Seccombe Lake State Park in San Bernardino, CA.
The cemetary was not known to exist prior to its discovery in August
1989. '
The research methodology will entail performing searches of various
lan~ ownership records (deeds, leases, mortgages, etc) in order to
establish a chain of title to the property. This chain of title
will allow for a more intensive study in Southern California archi-
val and records repositories in an effort to establish a detailed
history of the site.
Throughout the research project a collection of maps will be gathered
to document the cartographic history and evolution of the site.
These will be gathered from various institutions, both public and
private.
Ancillary to documenting the history of the site will be to analyze
the laws of California that pertain to cemetaries, their ~isturbance,
and their preservation. Of special interest to the City of San Ber-
nardino will be the legal ramifications of continued construction
and disturbance of the Seccombe Park burials. Research in this area
will involve study of the appropriate state laws, other cases of
grave ~isturbance by public agencies and their repercussions,
appropriate case law, and scholarly and legal journal articles.
A written report will be submitted to the City of San Bernardino and
the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Recommendations
for mitigation of the site, based on the research, will be inclu~ed
in the final report.

1'HE SECCOHBE STATE PARK BURIALS
SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
1989
A PROPOSAL FOR RESEARCH
RKSEARC8 PBOBLKH
Recent construction activities at Seccombe State Park in San
Bernardino have revealed the existence of ;a previously unknown'
historic cemetary containing at least six human burials. The
graves are unmarked. The precise dimensions of the cemetary are
unknown as well. Construction in this area of the park has been
on hiatus since the discovery and before it can continue a
determination of the site's significance as an historical
resource must be made. The task of making such a determination
can only be made with the aid of a comprehensive understanding of
the site's history and its relationship to the community at
large. Of equal concern are the legal ramifications of further
disturbance to the site.
INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF RE5EARCB PBOBLKH
In August 1989, during the course of constructing a baseball
diamond on the northeast POrtion of Seccombe State Park in San
,
Bernardino, California, construction workers ,discovered the
presence of a previously unknown cemetary containing several
human burials. Numerous graves were disturbed and San Bernardino

o
Continuation Page 1
coroner Brian McCOrmick, with th~ aid of forensic anthroPOlogist
Dr. Judy Myers Suchey of California State University, Fullerton
and archaeologist Dr. Russell J. Barber of California State
University, San Bernardino, together determined that the
disturbed human remains were primary historic burials, rather
than reinterments or graves displaced through natural forces. Dr.
Barber concluded the graves probably dated from the second half
of the nineteenth century.l
Analysis by Drs. Suchey and Barber of skeletal material
redistributed around the site by construction work led to the
conclus~on that at least six individual graves had been
disturbed: five adults and one child. At least two of the adults
only other artifactual evidence contained in these two burials
were interred in wood coffins constructed with sguare nails. The
manufacturing process patented in the United States in 1841.2
were "two vitreous buttons" manufactured by the Prosser method, a
Discovery of the burials has caused a construction work-
stoppage of the baseball diamond area of the park until further
analysis of the site and its history can be performed. Because
the cemetary was not previously known to exist, it is the desire

of the Cblifornia Department of Parks and Recreation and the City
of San Bernardino's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Department to have the cemetary documented from the historical
record and to have recommendations made for mitigation. This
historical documentation is the subject of the present research
proposal. Research will not involve any archaeological
investigation of the sit.e, t.hough such an invest.igation may be
recommended as part. of a mit.igat.ion program based on t.he research
project.
Several quest.ions regarding t.he cemet.ary have arisen since
it.s dis9overy. How large is (was) it. and can it. be reasonably
expect.ed t.hat more burials are present? When was the cemetary in
use and what was it.s relat.ion t.o the communit.y? That is, does it.
represent. a family plot. and if so, whose? Or is it. a church or
communit.y cemet.ary; or t.he local "pott.er's field?" Could t.he
deceased be among t.he vict.ims of t.he 1862 smallpox epidemic,
isolated from the cit.y's other cemet.aries because of communit.y
health concerns? With the answers to these questions, is it
possible to identify the deceased, either generally (i.e., family
members, religious sect., smallpox victims, etc.) or individually?
It is hoped t.hat t.hrough a thorough invest.igation of available
records, document.s, maps, et.c. these and ot.her quest.ions will be
,
answered.
Of furt.her int.erest. are t.he quest.ions of the cemet.ary's
legal standing. In California law, what precisely constit.utes a
cemetary? And what. are t.he legal ramificat.ions of disturbing

o
'.
Continuation Page 3
one? Could these laws be applied to unmarked historic
cemetaries? Or are there separate laws governing the
preservation of historic California cemetaries? Are there legal
precedents regarding the disturbance of historic cemetaries? Are
there procedures and regulations in effect for mitigation, and if
so, what are they? The answers to these questions could
conceivably have a profound effect. on the future of the Seccombe
Park project.
RESEAR~ DESIGN
The proposed research will be conducted by Kevin B.
Hallaran, Staff Research Associate and graduate student in
historic resources management at the University of California,
Riverside. Hr. Hallaran will also be responsible for the writing
of the research report. The research and writing will be
supervised by the Principal Investigator, Ronald C. Tobey, Ph.D.
Research will primarily entail an intensive search of public
and private archival source materials, familiarization with the
secondary literature relating to San Bernardino City and County
history, and an examination of pertinent scholarly and scientific
literature. The intent of this research is to 1) gain an
understanding of the chain of title to the property on which the
cemetary is located, 2) collect a cartographic history of the
,
site, particularly one where the evolution of the cemetery may be
traced, 3) recover as much of the history of the cemetary itself
o
o
Continuation Page 4
as is possible, 4) search for any comparable situations and
circumstances where unmarked burials have been disturbed and the
repercussions from such disturbance, 5) evaluate the historical
resource(s) constituted by the site, and 6) to allow for an
informed judgement about the extent and direction of further
analysis and mitigation of the site.
The researcher will first familiarize himself with the
historiography of the San Bernardino region. Since Drs. Barber
and Suchey surmised that the graves were placed in the second
half of the nineteenth century, particular concentration on this
period ~ould seem appropriate.' This assumption to late-
nineteenth century provenience, however, does not preclude the
gaining of a thorough understanding of other periods of the
area's history from which the graves might originate. This phase
of research will begin with a study of the pertinent secondary
literature. Among these are George W. and Helen P. Beattie's
Herita2e of the Valley: San Bernardino's First Century, John
Brown, Jr.'s and James Boyd's Historv of San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties, Luther A. Ingersoll's CenturY Annals of San
Bernardino County, and others.
This first phase will also include a study of the laws of
California applicable to cemetaries and historic cemetaries,
their disturbance and preservation. Pertinent articles in legal
journals and any appropriate case law will be surveyed as well.
The second phase of research will be to systematically trace
IIbid.
u
o
o
Continuation Page 5
the chain of title to the property from its present ownership
back to, presumably, the Mexican Rancho period, and perhaps
beyond. Records and documents of particular value would include
deeds, leases, mortgages, and land grants to the property.
Many of the Mexican land grant records are stored on
microfilm and housed at the National Archive Branch in Laguna
Niguel, CA. This holds true as well for the records and
testimony of the California/United States Land Commission of the
1850s.
Deeds and leases to the property might be expected to be
housed ~t various Southern California archival institutions. The
San Bernardino County Archives, the San Bernardino Public
Library, the San Bernardino County Museum, the A.K. Smiley Public
Library, the San Bernardino County Hall of Records, and other
local institutions are expected to house the majority of these
types of records. However, some of them may be found in other
institutions, such as the Henry E. Huntington Library in San
Marino, CA, or the Bancroft Library at OC Berkeley.
Once the chain of title is established it will then be
possible to effectively survey the manuscript collections of the
same institutions named above for the existence of diaries,
journals, reminiscences, etc. of former residents of the
.
property. In these there may be some hint to the origins and/or
the occupants of the cemetary. The established chain of title
will also provide names which can then be checked against the
files of the county's Office of Vital Statistics where death and
;
o
o
Continuation Page 6
birth recordz are housed.
The third phase of research, the collection of a series of
maps, will essentially run concurrently with all other phases.
Various types of maps may offer some indications as to the
history of the cemetary. Among these would be the disefio from
the original Mexican land grant of Rancho San Bernardino, survey
maps by the Land Commission, railroad survey maps, a sequence of
DSGS Topographical Quadrangles, plats, Sanborne Fire Insurance
Company maps, public works and local subdivision surveys.
Original surveyors' notebooks and journals occasionally include

details. useful to the historian, though not necessarily important
enough at the time of the survey to be included on the final maps
(i.e., descriptions of structures, landmarks, etc.). The
archival institutions named above as well as the map collection
at the Tom4s Rivera Library at DC Riverside are all possible
sources for tracking the cartographic history and evolution of
the site.
Other miscellaneous sources that may contain information
relevant to the burials are the archives and records of the San
Bernardino Catholic Diocese, the San Bernardino Stake of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the L.D.S. Family
History Center in Santa Monica, Calif., the L.D.S. Church
Archives in Salt Lake City, the Dtah Historical Society, the
Dnited States Census, the courts of the city of.San Bernardino,
church and cemetary sextons' records, the San Bernardino County
Health Department, early San Bernardino newspapers, and others.

EXPECTED RESULTS OF RESEARCH
It is hoped that through an analysis of archival sources,
records, and maps the cemetary at Seccombe Park can be documented
fully. Tbe size of the cemetary, its provenience and use, its
meaning to the history of the community of San Bernardino, the
number of intermnents, and possibly t.he ident.l1;ies of the
deceased, are all t.opics which will be addressed.
In addition, the legal aspect.s of disturbance to unmarked
gravesites will be analyzed. Such analysis will include the,
,
position t.aken by t.he st.at.e of California as shown in st.at.e law,
legal precedent.s in California and other st.ates when grave or
cemet.ary dist.urbance issues have been t.aken t.o t.he courts, and
whether similar court actions might arise as a result of t.he
dist.urbance of the Seccombe Park burials.
RESEARCH REPORT
Research result.s will be provided in t.he form of a report.
Recommendations for mit.igation of t.he sit.e will be included. The
map collect.ion will be included as an appendix t.o the report..
Copies of the report. will be delivered t.o the California
Department of Parks and Recreation offices in Sacrament.o and San
Diego, the San Bernardino Parks, Recreat.ion, and Community
Services Department., and local libraries and history archives.

TOBEY, Ror.,,~d C,
Fall, 1989
PUblic History Service
1972-present, Director, Program in Historic Resources Management, Department of
History, University of California, Riverside
Conceived and created the Program in Historic Resources Management for the
M.A. in 1972 (called the Program in Western American Studies, 1972-78) as
a graduate program to train historians for nonteaching careers in archival
management, museum curatorship, and historic preservation; directs the
Program, including budget supervision, curriculum planning, staff recruit-
ment, internship development, student program supervision, outreach ef-
forts, publications, graduate placement; teaches Historic Preservation,
and Computing for the Public Historian; conducts public service related to
the Program.
Since 1972, the Program in Historic Resources Management has awarded Mas-
ter of Arts degrees to 67 historians who have taken up active careers
across the United States in all areas of histor~c resource management.
Staff includes regular faculty members of the Department of History teach-
ing core seminars, adjunct professors teaching practicums and special
courses, supervising internships, and co-teaching core seminars in areas
of their professional specialty, and faculty in other departments (Anthro-
pology, Art History, Studio Art) teaching courses for Program students'.
As Director of the Program my responsibilities have included developing
the curriculum to meet guidelines for professional training from the pro-
fessional public history associations (the American Association of Muse-
ums, the Society of American Archivists, the American Association for
State and Local History, and the National Trust for Historic Preserva-
tion), establishing on-going internships and supervising interns, super-
vising field reports (M.A. theses based on field research), conducting
examinations, recruiting new students, and assisting graduates in profes-
sional placement.
In line with these responsibilities, I guided the Program through several
notable changes. In 1977-79, I led revision of the curriculum for the
first time to meet professional association guidelines, including the re-
naming of the program from the Program in Western American Studies to Pro-
gram in Historic Resources Management, a name change that neatly
summarizes the shift in orientation. In 1988-89, I conducted a complete
review of the program, including review of similar public history graduate
programs at over fifty other universities and colleges around the country,
leading to the first steps of establishing a doctoral public history minor
field.
Although I have not had responsibility for raising support funds for the
program, I have always recognized the inadequacy of the University's sup-
port and obtained funds from a variety of sources, direct and indirect,
for support of PHRK students' in their studies, their internships, and for
postgraduate work that would enhance their professional skills and employ-
ability. In the years 1974 through 1977, I obtained ten separate grants
from the National Endowment for the 'Humanities (totalling about $75,000),
TOBEY, Ronald C. 0

supporting PHRK students in their studies and in internships at the River-
side Municipal Museum and San Bernardino County Museum. Four students
benefitted from these awards. In 1976, I obtained two contracts to con-
duct EIRs; two PHRK graduates were employed under these contracts. In
1980-1982, together with County Historian, Stephen Becker (an Adjunct As-
sistant Professor at that time), I obtained regular County funding for an
internship position in the History Division of County Parks Department, a
position that has subsequently been filled by several PHRK students. In
1982-1989, I have used my membership on the Advisory Council and the Board
of Directors of the Mission Inn Foundation, and recently my presidency of
the Board, to negotiate a contract with the City of Riverside, which, to-
gether with other fundraising efforts, have made possible expanding the
MIF staff from one full-time administrator to a staff of nine (four full--
time, five part-time). Seven PHRK students have been employed by the MIF.
In 1986, I proposed (in a memo to the City Manager that has gained some
reputation as the "Omnibus Memorandum") that the City greatly increase its
funding of archival activity; the outgrowth of this memo was a request
from the City Library, using the memorandum as its basis, for a Local His-
torian position. This position was created and is now filled by a PHRK
graduate.
1985-present, President of the Board of Directors, Mission Inn Foundation, Riv-
erside, California
I lead the Board of Directors in development of policies, and implement
those policies through the Foundation staff; represent the Board of Trus-
tees in the negotiation of contracts and agreements with the City of Riv-
erside and the private owners of the Mission Inn; provide leadership for
the Board of Trustees in relations with other cultural and community orga-
nizations; and chair the meetings of the Board of Trustees.
I was principally responsible, while working with Foundation staff, for
guiding the Mission Inn Foundation through a transition from its responsi-
bility for operating the Mission Inn as a hotel (which closed in June
1985) to responsibility for creating a national class museum at the Mis-
sion Inn. As part of this transition, I rewrote the organic documents of
the Foundation (Articles and Bylaws), guided expansion of the Office staff
from one to nine persons (including part-time employees), led the Board in
establishing basic museum and preservation policies (researched by staff),
consulted with the California State Office of Historic Preservation and
the San Francisco Regional Office of the National Trust for Historic Pres-
ervation in defining the Foundation's position on important preservation
issues, guided conceptualization and formation of a new staff position of
Executive Director and a new regional advisory council, and joined the
Foundation's planning process for the Galeria exhibition, which was under-
way when I took office. '
I also lead the Foundation Staff and Board in development of new programs,
including a program of documentation of the two-year private rehabilita-
tion of the Mission Inn, in development of a new committee structure and
memberships to support the new programs, and provided stimulus for several
specific fund-raising efforts.

During my presidency of the Board, I have also been responsible for tasks
that ,normally 'fall to staff, but which I have initiated in order to pro-
fessionalize the Foundation office. These have included developing the
budgetary system, preparation of annual budgets (now at $250,000), budget-
ary five-year planning, and development of a personnel system (~e"it aud
promotion system, employment practices, employer and employee rights and
responsibilities).
1984-present, Project Administrator, Film on Riverside's Chinatown ("When They
All Still Lived")
This 50-minute, documentary film was produced with a budget of $80,000
(including in-kind services), obtained from two grants from the California
Council for the Humanities for scriptwriting and production, grants from
the County of Riverside, and private donations. The film was produced and
directed by Peter Lang and Jim Brown using the production facilities of
the Media Resources Department of the University, Jerry Gordon, Director.
Motion photography was by Peter Lang. The film was completed and the fi-
nal report made to CCH in April 1988.
My role was project director, research supervisor, and principal investi-
gator for the CCH grants. The grant applications were a joint effort of
Harry Lawton, Jerry Gordon, and me. I supervised the researchers and pan-
el of consultants in the scriptwriting. I wrote the reports to CCH. The
film as completed under the CCH grants is of very high quality, and meets
an important, local, educational need. I believe that further production
is needed, however, to bring the film to the quality level of a national
broadcast production. Consequently I have recently taken the lead in ob-
taining professional advice and assistance (from Wilkman Productions, Hol-
lywood -- an Emmy award winning producer of historical documentaries).
1983-present, Consultant, Riverside City-County Local History Project
1973-present, Acting City Archivist
From 1973 to 1977, together with my students in the Program in Historic
Resources Management, I collected the muniCipal records of the City of
Riverside from incorporation (1883) to 1954, organized them into an ar-
chive, and established the archive as a public service with regular hours
and staff. In 1978, with the support of the University, I moved the ar-
chive to the Special Collections Department of the Rivera Library of the
University of California, Riverside, where the papers are housed in an
adequate environment and used within the eXp'anded hours of the Department.
Using CETA grants from the City, I had the city papers inventoried and
described. Currently, the Riverside Municipal Archive holds approximately
500 cubic feet of additional materials not archivally organized.
In the Spring, 1986, I formally proposed to the Riverside City Council and
the University, and negotiated with the City Manager, a city-county-uni-
versity Regional Archive. Following this proposal, the City created and
TOBEY, Ronald C.

filled the position of Local History Coordinator in the City Library.
Planning for the regional center continues,
I continue to provide first revie~ of all City records recommended for
removal from active status.
1984-85, Member, Mission Inn Task Force
The Riverside City Council formed the Mission Inn Task Force to make rec-
ommendations on the role of the Mission Inn Foundation and other support
groups in the Mission Inn after its sale, and on the relationships between
the different public and private parties in the Mission Inn after its
sale.
I took the lead role in this Task Force, which met numerous times over
twelve months, and included City Councilmen, City department heads, repre-
sentatives of the Friends of the Mission Inn, the Carley Capital Group,
and attorneys for the different parties. I drafted and led the commun-
ity's negotiation with the prospective private pwners of the Mission Inn
(the Carley Capital Group of Madison, Wisconsin) regarding several major
documents. These documents included a long term Museum Lease, which is
attached to the sale agreement for the Mission Inn and the Service Agree-
ment between the Mission Inn Foundation and the City of Riverside, which
defines the installation and operation of the Mission Inn Museum by the
Mission Inn Foundation.
As part of my role in the Task Force, I also worked with the Riverside
City Council and the City Manager in incorporating the recommendations of
the Task Force into the City budget.
1976-84, Member, Riverside Municipal Museum Board of Trustees and Advisory
Board
1983-84, President, Riverside Municipal Museum Advisory Board
As a member and as President of the Municipal Museum Board, in addition to
regular Board duties regarding supervision of budgets and programs, and
recommendation of policy to the City, my activities were directed toward
coordination of student activities in the Museum and the Museum's opera-
tion under its Director. I was involved in the City's personnel searches
for staff positions and for two of the Directors of the Museum.
1981-83, Research Supervisor, Jensen-Alvarado Ranch NEH Project, Riverside
County Department of Parks
For three years, I provided the academic supervision for the research by a
County staff of four into the history of the Cornelius Jensen and Mercedes
Alvarado families and their property, specifically the "Jensen-Alvarado
Ranch." This research and interpretation project was funded by 'the Na-

tional Endowment for the Humanities through the office of the County His-
torian (at that time, Stephen Becker). This research has provided the
most'extensive body of information currently available on the history of
the second-generation Californio family.
1979-81, Sup€r\'isor for Riverside County Records Project
Using CETA employees, I supervised an inventory of Riverside County de-
partment for archival quality, inactive records. This inventory was coor-
dinated with the inventory of Riverside City records (since some County
functions were historically taken from City functions, such as property
tax collection). The County inventory became the basis for a continuing'
County record program initiated in 1983 by the County Historian.
1978-81, Consultant, History Department, Los Angeles Museum of Natural History
I was a member of' a panel of four academic consultants who advised the
Museum on research and interpretation regarding'preparation of a new exhi-
bition hall on the antebellum period of American history.
1980-81, Member, Planning Committee of the California State Office of Historic
Preservation for 1981 annual State Preservation Conference, and Local Co-
ordinator for this conference, held at the University of California, Riv-
erside.
On the theme of local history interpretation, I helped organize three
tracks of panels and helped obtain speakers, organized my Historic Preser-
vation Seminar on the conference, and supervised student research used to
prepare packets of materials for persons attending the conference.
1984, Member, Mission Inn Foundation Board of Trustees
I first became associated with the Mission Inn Foundation when requested
to prepare a report for the Foundation to the City of Riverside concerning
the disposition of the spaces and artifacts of the Mission Inn at the time
of sale of the Inn. I was subsequently elected to the Foundation's Board
of Trustees.
1983, Member, City of Riverside Seventh Street Museums Committee
I took a leading role in this ad hoc civic ~ommittee advising the City
Council, whose recommendations led to the transformation of the City's
Museum Department into a Department of Historic Resources, with the man-
date of coordinating and enhancing the City's historic resources as a
whole.

1978, Member, National Archives Advisory Council, Region 9
1975, Organizer, Historic Preservation Conference
In 1975, I organized the first historic preservation conference held in

under the sponsorship of the Program in Historic Resources Management. I
arranged for a dozen panels with thirty speakers, and staffed each'panel
with graduate students in the Program in Historic Resources Management.
Over 125 persons attended. The conference attendance was used as the ba-
sis for the mailing list for the first California State Historic Preser-
vation Conference, held later that year and sponsored by the State Office
of Historic Preservation.
