You Are Remembered – Rest In Peace
This marker has been dedicated in memory of more than six hundred persons of Japanese ancestry reinterred here in 1956 with several thousand others, whose remains were removed from New Helvetia Cemetery, the present site of Sutter Middle School at Alhambra Boulevard and J Street. Most of those of Japanese ancestry resting here were buried at New Helvetia Cemetery from 1849 to 1912.
This beautiful final resting place was made available through the heartfelt generosity of East Lawn Memorial Park.
Dedicated by
Sacramento Chapter JACL and Sacramento Nikkei Jin-Kai
In behalf of
