The
PCA thanks all who attended and participated in its 26th annual Memorial
Day observance on Monday, May 25th at the Pioneer & Military Memorial
Park. A special thank you to our featured speaker, Councilman Michael
Johnson, and the City of Phoenix Parks Department for helping us carry on
this proud tradition!
A slender monument in Rosedale Cemetery marks the graves
of Theodore and Harold Holland, twins.
Whatever became of this Chinese family that lived in the Valley of
the Sun from about 1880 to 1927? If you have information about the
Hollands, please contact the PCA. And
for more gravestone enigmas, see Cemetery Mysteries.
A complete listing of all known burials in
the Pioneer & Military Memorial Park (P&MMP)
is now available to the public in spiral-bound
book format. A donation of $25 to the Pioneers'
Cemetery Association, Inc. is requested to help cover
printing costs. Order your copy today by printing
