In the 1970s the cemetery was converted into the Mission Hills Memorial Park, and only 150 of the original 2016 gravestones were salvaged. These gravestones were placed near the stone wall closest to the Middle School. The grave stone marker for this person was salvaged, and is near the left end of the row of markers. All records relating to the exact locations of the graves in the park were reported to have been lost in a fire.
∼The framed paper signage mounted on a wooden board lists the Ames children to honor the family group. It did not mean that they are all buried at El Campo Santo. Infact several of them lived on after their parents died.
Caution: Some of the children are listed on the plaque with their nicknames.
Pancho was really Francisco
Sally was really Salome
John was really Juan Donaciano
