May H. Woolsey: 1866 - 1879


May H. Woolsey died of encephalitis. Tour visitors to Sacramento's Old City Cemetery have confirmed that her presence can still be felt, literally by placing ones hand near her grave stone.

"beckyjsacto" added: In the Discovery Museum in Old Sac, there is a display from a home in midtown that was being renovated by new owners in the 1980's. When they removed a panel in some part of the house, they found a chest of items (dolls, photos, clothing, and other personal effects) of a young girl [May Woolsey] who'd lived and died in that same house EXACTLY one hundred years prior. Truly creepy!

May Woolsey was a 12 year old girl who lived in Sacramento during the 1870's in the district known as Alkali Flat. Found in 1979 when a new owner was remodeling the house and came across a hatch cut into the second floor stair landing. The trunk had been placed in a cavity from a false ceiling in a closet below. When opened the trunk contained a fascinating chronicle of life in early Sacramento as seen through the childhood mementos of May Woolsey. Packed in the trunk were trinkets and playthings typical of most 12-year-old girls of the late 1870's.
