About Benjamin Franklin Washington
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/65821395/benjamin-franklin-wash...
Grave was relocated from Lone Mountain Cemetery San Francisco
Benjamin Franklin Washington (April 7, 1820 – January 22, 1872) was a relative of George Washington. He was involved in a duel with C. A. Washburn over articles printed in the San Francisco Herald.
He studied law but went west to California in the 1849 Gold Rush as the president of the Charlestown Company.
He was coeditor of the Sacramento Democratic State Journal, along with Vincent Geiger.
On October 7, 1863, the Democratic Press was established in San Francisco, and by June 12, 1865, it became the Evening Examiner, with William S. Moss as publisher and B. F. Washington as editor. For several years William S. Moss, Phil Roach and George Pen Johnston were its owners. Until it was bought by Senator Hearst in the 1880s, the paper had been a "highly chaste and non-sensation journal". After Senator Hearst's death the paper went to his son, William R. Hearst.
