And yes, poor Senora Pico. That story is the best argument ever for cremation. Will people never learn about grave goods?

I hope you checked the last link. The photos of the old gravestones saved from the cemetery are lovely:

And actually, I was a little confused about this 1880 photo of the cemetery before it fell into such disarray. Are we looking west here?:

Another 1880 view:


It's tragic and outrageous that the cemetery wasn't maintained so we could enjoy and learn from it now.
I think the first pic is looking southwest, from approximately the location of today's Savoy Street as it approaches Bishops Road. And the second pic looks from the same general direction, but from further up Radio Hill, and turned to look more to the left (southerly).
