Due to “the possibility of encountering more burials” on the hospital grounds, the experts recommended monitoring and archaeological testing before any future construction on site.” Unfortunately, this never happened. They ultimately found two coffins, one of which had been partially crushed by a sewer pipe. In the late 1990s, diggers on another Santa Rosa construction project found bone fragments that archaeologists at the University of Texas at San Antonio later determined belonged to a man, woman and maybe even an infant. City leaders in the mid-19th Century vowed to relocate remains at the site, but we believed it never happened. We always believed t hat bodies would still be buried beneath the Christus Santa Rosa hospital complex and that having disturbed burials should not have been all that surprising. Descendants had several meetings with the Hospital leadership and ultimately the Court order was rescinded.
