I cannot remember its name, but there is a cemetery near the North Park area 
of San Diego.  I believe it was the city that dumped the tombstones down 
into the canyon.  Some were returned and the place is now a park.  It has 
some sort of memorial to those buried there.  I'll ask around for its 
name...
