At one Marin County cemetery, an old forgotten section has come back from the dead.
Mount Tamalpais Cemetery officially became a cemetery in 1879, bearing most of the San Rafael's founders. The sixty-five acre park is the resting place of politicians, artists - even members of the Pointer Sisters.
Back in his office, Thornton pulled out an original map from 1880, and a log back from the same era to identify the area.He pointed to the antique map, using a magnifying glass to look up a grave number in section J -- cross referencing it in a book that listed the graves and their inhabitant along with a smattering of information.
"We’ve got a map that shows exactly who’s here and where it is if somebody wanted to visit them," Thornton said,"at your own risk."
