You can read the timeline of what happened to this cemetery at <a href="http://www.restorestmarys.org/Cemetery%20Timeline.html" rel="nofollow">Restore St. Mary's Cemetery Timeline</a>. It's a very sad story, and one that I've not heard of happening anywhere else in the U.S.<br /><br />Thank you for the blogiversary wishes, @Jim.

Can you imagine the frustration of someone making a genealogy trip to this Ventura "cemetery," only to find a bunch of dogs roaming around?<br /><br />There still are a few very small, flat markers in the park, but the lovely, historic, stand-up markers - like the one Ms. Southerland tried to return - have all been removed. It made me so sad to see what had happened to the final resting place of many Ventura pioneers. If you read the story of what happened to this cemetery, it will make you even sadder.Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913486467708835289.post-65269292208454133012012-10-26T10:24:59.859-07:002012-10-26T10:24:59.859-07:00Makes me sick!
