"Eladio was killed in the Philippines
in 1945. Eladio received a Purple
Heart and was first buried in Santa Barbara
south of the summer capitol of the
Philippines and was re-interred in this
small cemetery in the 1950s. Eladio's
father worked for fifty years for the cement
company and received a pension.
Eladio's mother, also from Mexico, was
afraid of lightning and had a special ritual
she preformed on the small porch of
the house."- from an internet search for this cemetery.

I am assuming that "Cement City Cemetery" and "El Camposanto de Cemento Grande de la Compania Trinity Portland" are one and the same. Data is from a grave marker.
