Synopsis "History of the Weimar Joint Sanatorium and the Weimar Cemetery"
The Weimar Joint Sanatorium opened to receive indigent tuberculosis patients on November 17, 1919. Located five miles south of Colfax in Placer County, California, the Sanatorium operated for sixty years, accepting applicants from 15 California counties While some recovered, many residents died and about a third of them were buried in the adjoining Weimar Cemetery, their graves marked only by a wooden stake with a brass number disc. In 2012 a massive research effort, known as the Weimar Project, began. The purpose was to match numbers with names for the people buried in the Weimar Cemetery so that relatives could locate lost family members and so that the veterans buried there could be honored. To accomplish the goals of the Weimar Project, every death certificate in Placer County for the years the Weimar Cemetery was in operation was examined and that data reconciled with what original Weimar Sanatorium records still existed. This book provides a list of names and grave numbers of the approximately 1,450 people who are buried there, a brief history of the Weimar Joint Sanatorium and the Weimar Cemetery, and photos of the Sanatorium. Also included are links to individual electronic memorials on the Find a Grave web site. As a direct result of this work, over a dozen families have reconnected with long-lost loved ones. Also, several of the veterans received headstones from the Veterans Administration and the others now have permanent markers as a result of a private donation. These are the reasons this work is so satisfying to the people involved in this project. We hope you enjoy reading of the Sanatorium and learning of those who are buried there.
