This photo was take June 28, 2004. John Hilton is my Great-Great Grandfather. His resting place, as well as other family members, is on the side of a steep hill in Sunset Memorial Park. This trip was taken with my Grandmother and two of her sisters; one who had just gone through a few major surgeries the previous year. The steepness of the hill made it extremely difficult for me to visit. I can only imagine that Grandma and my Great Aunts found it challenging to maneuver.
