Does anyone have knowledge of specific burial methods for epidemic-related
deaths?  We have at least 5 trenches oriented north/south with bodies placed
in an extended position (this is circa 1920) in a row head to foot.  This is
in Sacramento and would have been associated with the historic Sacramento
County Hospital, which is no longer extant.
