Local family urges Santa Cruz County help to protect historic family cemetery in Lake Hill
Summary
A resident asked the Board to support efforts to preserve a family cemetery and chapel in Lake Hill, Arizona, noting military veterans are buried there and the site dates to the early 20th century.
Adele Post addressed the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors during public comment on Jan. 21, asking the board to help her family preserve a private family cemetery and chapel in Lake Hill, Arizona, that she said has been in the family since 1902.
Post said the cemetery contains veterans’ graves and named a family member, Antoinette Della Rosa Ramirez (born 1958; buried 1982), and an earlier interment, Antonio Maria Florencio de la Osa, whom she said was buried in 1902. She asked the board to “help us find a solution” and said she would appreciate the board’s influence regarding receivership and decisions that involve the family cemetery. Post introduced several family members who were present at the meeting.
No formal board action or vote was taken during the public-comment period; the matter was not listed as a separate agenda item at the meeting.
