Grave 1, lot 83. Was buried on BANBURY family land, but moved to cemetery after it was established in 1883.
Before 1882, residents of historic Pasadena, California, buried their loved ones in their backyards or on other family property. Then, local resident Col. Banbury decided to sell his property that lay along the Arroyo Seco, later part of the Wrigley Estate, and now the headquarters of the Tournament of Roses Parade. The Colonel's son, Charles, however, was already buried in the area along with Laura Giddings and a few other Pasadena residents. The question of what would happen to these graves if Col. Banbury sold his estate prompted Levi Giddings to offer part of his property to be set aside for a cemetery. In early 1883, Col. Banbury's son, Charles, Laura Giddings, and others were removed from the area along the Arroyo Seco and reinterred in the newly established Mountain View Cemetery on Fair Oaks Avenue. By the end of the year, eight other transfers were made for a total of 24 burials.
