The developed portions of the cemetery grounds are planted with trees and shrubs and makes for a picturesque setting and although the grounds are rolling conveniently spaced access drives course through the various plots.

The Calvary portion on the southside of the ground is separated by a grassy area.  The stones here represent a mostly Catholic section of the cemetery. Hispanic and European surnames are mixed here and in the Fairview portion. 

Japanese or Japanese American graves are found in the Fairview portion as are “Spanish” or “Mexican” Mennonites.  It is very interesting to note the variety or origins of the people here.  They came from all parts of Europe and from all over the United States.  There don’t appear to be any articular sectional aspects to the emigrants who came here, and staff stated that several black or African-Americans are buried here.  The earliest Japanese grave I found was 1922.
