1. Eternal Valley Marker
In 1769 Spanish padres sent out by Father Junipero Serra recommended this property as a mission site. It became instead a farm and ranch for the San Fernando Mission.
A stage coach stop called Lyons Station, was established here in 1854 & by the end of the Civil War internments had been made in this cemetery.
In 1888 when the property was acquired by Henry Clay Needham, it came to be known as the Needham family cemetery.
This beautiful area is now being developed as an endowment care Memorial Park, whose founders are dedicated to the perpetuation of its great pioneer traditions.
Memorial property in Eternal Valley is now available to all California families. One high purpose governs this development. It shall be a garden of eternal beauty.
Out of the shadows of night
The world rolls into light.
It is daybreak everywhere.
Longfellow
