Getting Ready for Arbor Day:  During the first half of the 1800s, the Rural Cemetery Movement spread from France to England and the eastern United States. In the 1860s, it hit California. Rural cemeteries were landscaped cemeteries, and trees were usually a big part of the landscaping. So were obelisks. Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery. [2005]
