Golden Gate National Cemetery

If you've ever driven along Highway 280 near the San Francisco International Airport, you've undoubtedly noticed the Golden Gate National Cemetery. It's size and immaculate rows upon rows of white headstones make it somewhat intimidating and a sober reminder of all the servicemen who don't make it home... and those who do...
The address is 1300 Sneath Lane, San Bruno, CA 94066

The San Bruno BART is reasonably close by.


Previously, the only part of our clan we knew resting there was :


GEORGE WINKLER (son of Henry and Caroline, brother of Phillip, etc.)
Born January 28, 1892, died May 3, 1953
Was a wagoner in the Wagon Supply Company during World War I.
63rd Infantry 11th Division (24109 is another associated number)


I found him some time ago through http://www.interment.net/
Many beautiful photos of this cemetery are available at Indospectrum.com

We have since found out (in 2007) that we have more "family" here. Family relationships are yet to come.

  1. You should have a tag for Civil Service also, with or without Military. Your sheriffs, prison guards, fire chiefs, etc. would be recognized in this...
