Surnames: Apostolak, Betz, Blumenthal, Stafford, Benson, Sutton,Gee, Ryan
Since the above article did not give much information to identify these individiuals, I went into California Death Records and the 1900 census to see if I could obtain any additional information on these individuals (I'll continue information in a few seperate messages). Not all of these individuals were listed in California Death Records; this may be attributed to many things; the chaos during the period where not everything was recorded; inability to identify certain individuals; some listed may have walked away and never returned (or were found later), Some additional info shown below:

Minos Apostolak - Born 1862 in Crete
Annie Betz- Age 39
Rosa Blumenthal- Born 1868, Poland
Joseph Stafford- Born 1868 in Pennsylvania, In 1900 census, was in Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane
R. Benson- Born 1849 in England
George W. Sutton- Born 1864 in California
Lee Gee- Born 1855 in China
Mr. Ryan- The 1900 census showed two "Ryans" as inmates at Agnews; John Ryan, born 1882 in California and Timothy Ryan born 1840 in Ireland. California Death Records did not show either of these names woth a April 1906 death date in Santa Clara County.
