Found this marker while looking for someone else. Reported to the groundskeeping crew. They came out and took a photo and will (hopefully!) deal with it appropriately.
Note: as of June 2011, the marker was still not freed from the tree, and I've moved from the area, so someone else should probably try to check on it.
Note: As of 15 Aug 2013 the problem has not been resolved by the cemetery. In fact it has gotten worse. The only readable part of the stone now is Louise and Mar. So it would be greatly appreciated if someone local could act on this. Shortly the tree will have taken over and the stone will be lost. RLLaw
The name was confirmed from Forest Lawn's online burial locator, but I couldn't find the years of birth and death from any of my usual sources. Dates subsequently confirmed via SAC from Contributor 47495180.
With the death year, I was able to find a 1931 Los Angeles city Death Index listing at FamilySearch that indicated the death was "outside" of the city, but there was no corresponding listing in the Los Angeles County indexes.
