The Pioneer Military and Memorial Park is located at 1317 West Jefferson in Phoenix, Arizona. It is composed of seven different cemeteries, which are City Loosley, A.O.U.W, I.O.O.F, K. of P., Masons, Porter, and Rosedale.
To get you better acquainted with each cemetery, we will be posting some scavenger hunts for each cemetery from time to time.
When the early citizens of Phoenix decided that City Cemetery was a disgrace to their beautiful city, the bodies were reinterred and most of them to the City Loosley Cemetery. A large mass grave can be found here for the unclaimed dead, but only a few there are known.
One of our famous interments here is Jacob Waltz. Waltz was prospecting in Arizona and is reputed to have found a gold deposit near the Superstition Mountain, known now as the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine.
Now on to the scavenger hunt..............................
In honor of several benevolent saloon owners buried in City Loosley:
to each person who answers each question correctly (or close), we will send you 10 vintage Saloon drink recipes, some common, some not so common. some of them are the apple of the 1800's bartender's eye! Just send us an email letting us know you posted by March 24th: pioneercem@yahoo.com.
The answers can be found on Find a Grave. Our volunteers have placed all of our interred on this platform. However, we do hope you will join us in Person soon. Good Luck!
