Titanic Survivor Eino Lindquist

The newspaper article in the previous post had no mention of what happened to Mr. Lindquist on that fateful night, but I figured there must have been a story there.

There was.  I'll write about it in this next week.

I also found out that Napa State Hospital was one for the insane.

I did a Find A Grave search of Tulocay Cemetery in Napa, California, where Mr. Lindquist is buried.  It listed four notables buried in it, not Mr. Lindquist, though.

Three of the others:

Lilburn Williams. (1796-1860) Governor of Missouri 1836-1840.  Member California state constitutional convention 1850

Henry Heisch (1872-1941) Medal of Honor recipient Boxer Rebellion.

Mary "Mammy" Pleasant (1812-1904)  Black abolitionist and Voodoo practitioner. One of the most feared and powerful figures of late 19th century San Francisco.
