I am pretty sure it was John Bigler, 3rd governor of CA.
Thank you for your help. Bringing Sacramentos' history is a passion for me.. This all started with my grandson asking who was John Sutter & where was he buried!!! And "Was anyone famous buried in 'that big cemetery across from Target'?" Again my sincere thanks in helping me keep our history alive, Lynn
He wasn't the first but Newton Booth who was Governor in 1971 is also buried here right near the entrance
