| When I walked into the cemetery, the first thing to catch my eye was the grave of Ricardo Pena. He must have died before his wife. On the grave stone there is a blank spot on the right where the information for his wife was to be carved. |
|
| The next stone I went to see was the stone of Louis Richmond. He doesn't have a fancy grave like Ricardo Pena's, but he has one of the oldest dates of birth marked on a grave in the entire cemetery. He was born on March 7, 1847 and he died on January 27, 1917. He lived to the age of seventy. |
|
| The next grave stone I visited was the grave of P.L. Buquor. On the gravestone it says, "A friend to his country and a believer in Christ ". He was born in the year of 1816 and passed away on March 15, 1901. |
 |
| The grave that I think is most interesting is that of Matilder de Jimenez , Francisco Jimenez, and their baby. They all passed away around the start of the 1900s. I particularly like this grave because it is decorated with many shells. |
|
| The grave that I visited next was the grave of Jose and Beatris Castro. What's unique about this grave is there are two children buried here. The lamb on the stone means that they were small children or babies. They are twins. Beatris was born in 1920 and died in 1921. Jose was born in the same year and died in 1923. |
 |
| The last grave that I visited was the grave of Severiono Ortiz. He has not a tall grave stone but an interesting one. The designs are very nice. He was born on November 8, 1870 and he died on December 31, 1929. |
