2009-06-02 17:10:50   Dizdar Park used to be a cemetery, Adolfo Camarillo brought immigrants from Mexico City to build St. Mary's, which is Adolfo Camarillo's final resting place. The cemetery was called Pleasant Valley Cemetery, at some point the cemetery became property of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, and as the cemetery grew the bodies had to moved, most were moved to Ivy Lawn Cemetery, off Pancho Rd. There were less than 100 people buried in Dizdar park. I once found a list on the internet of who was buried there and who was moved and where to, but the families of three individuals could not be found, so the rumor is that there are still 3 bodies there! —CarleenPitts
