Killed! Byron Kittrell Accidentlly Shot in the Head, with a pistol in the hands of Miss. Annie M. Vezey, his betrothed. Byron C. Kittrell was accidentally shot and killed by Miss Annie M. Vezey yesterday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock. The deceased, Miss Annie Vezey and Joseph Shafe went from the residence of D.D. Vezey at 8 o'clock to Dry Creek and were shooting targets and birds with a shotgun, carried by the deceased, and a revolver. It was an ordinary 38 caliber, self-cocking American bulldog revolver, and was a five shooter. After shooting for some time Miss. Vezey and young Shafe moved further down the creek and were just opposite the James slaughter house sitting upon an old tree stump and firing across the creek every one in a while, leaving Kittrell a short distance behind killing birds. The joking talk of fighting the duel the cylinder of the pistol was not in its place and that Miss Vezey was not aware that it had been replaced when she aimed the second time and fired the fatal shot.

The funeral of the later Byron C. Kittrell took place from the Christian church this afternoon. The altar and pulpit were a mass of flowers, while the casket was almost completely hid from view by the many floral pieces. The services were very impressive and a feeling of gloom was cast over the entire audience. Byron was kind, noble-hearted young man, and his said and untimely death has caused a shock to the entire community. He was in the employ of the electric street Car Co. in Stockton. He leaves a mother, two brothers, Wm. J. Kittrell, and Frank Kittrell, a twin sister Miss Viila Kittrell, and a host of friends. From the Modesto Evening News November 3, 1892

INTRODUCTION
There is nowhere that will give one a sense of the history of a community than in its cemeteries.
Here in these silent, lonely places one can find the final resting places of the followers and the
leaders, the weak and the strong, the well-known and the forgotten, the good and the bad. Each has
left some mark, either large or small, on the community where he lived and died.
Modesto, California, in the fertile San Joaquin Valley, is the county seat of Stanislaus County and
has a population of approximately 420,000 in 1996. The city boasts four cemeteries within the city
limits, all situated in a row on Scenic Drive. Heading east on Scenic Drive, the first cemetery on
the left at Bodem Street, is Acacia Memorial Park (Masonic) followed by Pioneer (Odd Fellows),
Citizen’s (Modesto) and St. Stanislaus (Catholic). Access to Acacia is best made by turning left at
Bodem, driving one block north to Cedar and turning right into the cemetery.
The project of abstracting and publishing the records of all thirty-eight cemeteries in Stanislaus
County was begun in 1991 under the leadership of Mrs. Ouida Fillebrown, then President of the
Genealogical Society of Stanislaus County. When it became necessary for Mrs. Fillebrown to move to
southern California, the project continued under the able supervision of Wayne Hasemeier and
Mildred Starr.
We are grateful to Lowell Beachler, a charter member of the Genealogical Society, who has thoroughly
researched the cemeteries and mortuaries of Stanislaus County. He has kindly furnished us with the
following information about Acacia Memorial Park:
Acacia Memorial Park was laid out by the Masonic Lodge in 1872 for cemetery purposes. In 1960, more
land was purchased and was called the Pine Tree area. The cemetery is unique in its set-apart
Veteran’s section.
In 1917, the cemetery was incorporated, and in 1964, the name was changed from Masonic Cemetery to
Acacia Memorial Park.Kittrell
