WILLIAM MONEY
William Money, one of the most colorful characters resting in the San Gabriel Cemetery, is buried in the Mulock family plot because he was credited with having saved the life of young Dan Mulock at one time in San Gabriel after Mulock was gored by a wild boar.According to an article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Money was regarded by his family as having great mystical power. He claimed that Jesus had told him to head west from New York. He also claimed that he could imitate Christ and rise from the dead after three days in the tomb. According to the Times, Angelenos demanded that Money prove his claim. Money did get into a pine box, the lid was nailed shut, and he was lowered into the ground. Money lost his nerve and demanded to be let out before the burial was completed.
In addition to claims of mystical powers, Money also presented himself as a medical doctor, claiming to have treated 5,000 patients, some of whom came to see him during an 1863 smallpox epidemic.
