A well maintained family cemetery plot on Fort Ord Public Lands. I don't know the history of the plot, but it has a wonderful view and it was meticulously maintained when the Army had an active base here.

Five headstones, a cross and a low bordering fence are all that you'll see at
this lonely little plot. Reading the headstones you can glean a bit of
information. The graves are very old, the individuals died very young, and
it appears that they were moved to this site, perhaps because the Army needed
the area where they originally rested. I couldn't find out much by
searching on the internet, but if anyone has some additional information, please
post it in your log..
I posted the main headstone on the information part of this Waymark, but
there was no specific dates on Mary's birth or death (1899-1935).
I'm assuming that this family was one of the early settlers of the area, but
much more than that I can't tell.
