Vi camperede ved Pioneer Park i
Mission Hills. Pioneer Park er egentlig Calvary Kirkegård, som
blev åbnet i 1874. Kirkegården skulle oprindelig have
haft en katolsk halvdel og en protestantisk halvdel, hver på 4
hektarer, men den protestantiske halvdel kom aldrig i brug, da
protestanterne allerede havde Mount Hope Kirkegård. Den
protestantiske halvdel blev gjort til park allerede i 1909, og i 1914
blev Ulysses S. Grant Underskole bygget på stedet. Calvary
Kirkegård forblev derfor stort set katolsk og blev ofte kaldet
"Den Katolske Kirkegård." Kirkegården blev
grundlagt af fader Antonio Ubach, som selv blev begravet her i 1907,
da tusindvis af San Diegos borgere kom til hans begravelse. |
We daycamped at Pioneer Park in
Mission Hills. Pioneer Park is actually Calvary Cemetery, which was
opened in 1874. The cemetery was originally meant to have a Catholic
half and a Protestant half, each 10 acres in area, but the Protestant
half was never used, since the Protestants were already using Mount
Hope Cemetery. The Protestant half was made into a park already in
1909, and in 1914 Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School was built at the
site. Calvary Cemetery thus remained largely Catholic and was often
called "The Catholic Cemetery." The Cemetery was
established by Padre Antonio Ubach, who himself was buried here in
1907, when thousands of San Diego citizens attended his funeral. |
