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.
