Spadra Cemetery in Pomona at the foot of Elephant Hill. As you can see this cemetery has been severely vandelized over the years. Many large stones have been malicously knocked over. The Pomona Historical Society has laid the ones that could be found flush over the graves in concrete in an attempt to prevent further damage. It used to be a beautiful cemetery with many old white stones standing where only foundational bases are now.
