They Thew Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top

Not a trench so much, as two graves at Bayview with a shared stone.  The top of the stone says "Those listed below were originally buried at Mt. Calvary Cemeterey between 1895 and 1916.  Their remains have been reinterred at this site on March 29, 1977./Church of the Assumption". They say the soil was too rocky at Mount Calvary Cemetry, but the last of the bodies were dug out in 1977, and by 1978 the area was beginning to be developed.  The homes there are beautiful and expensive.  You can see the bay.  I drove around but did not take any pictures because I could not figure out how to take one without just taking a picture of someone's house.  Here is a map that shows where Mt. Calvery Cemetery is.  It is in the area between the Xs.

Emma Newell

I went to Bayview Cemetery today to photograph the grave of Emma Newell.  She is in section 3.

 This is what section 3 looks like from the road.  

It was overcast today, and I don't know if it was that, or that many of the stones are worn down and covered with lichen, but it was hard to read the names on the stones.  I was glad to find it.  I wish I had brought my brush to clean it off with.  

Hesper Newell's ashes are there as well, but she does not have a marker.  I think Emma is my great grandmother.  I wonder who Hesper is.  All I know is that she died 2/6/1953 and her middle name is Julia.

While I was there I asked about preneed plans.  It seems like it makes sense to get to enjoy your grave before you die.  Of course they are expensive.  It costs $1,500 for a grave plot at Bayview and a really awesome grave marker could run you as much as $20,000.
