Cadre Site is an historic district even before the Americans came. This is where the arch of the old cemetery is located, in a street now called Heritage Rd.
The old cemetery is reportedly where General Emilio Aguinaldo's infant daughter Flora Victoria was interred after she died along the way while Aguinaldo and company were fleeing the American Army in hot pursuit. Mabanglo reports that her father, Don Zacharias Moya Baldelomar y Junio, told her about this. (Don Zacharias Junio was also the father of the former mayor of Bayambang, Atty. Jaime Junio, and Election Registrar Atty. Pepe Junio.)

Diary of Santiago Barcelona
November 10th, 1899
The whole family left Villasis at night for Bayambang. On reaching the ford before Alcalá, the President's daughter, Flora Victoria Aguinaldo y del Rosario, died without her mother knowing it. It must have been midnight. At dawn, on the 13th, we reached Bayambang. The President's wife, still unaware of her daughter's death, requested me to buy more medicine for her when we passed by a drugstore. On my way, I met the President and informed him of the demise of the girl. Without a word to his wife, he, accompanied by P. Aglipay[1] went to bury the child at the Bayambang church.

[1] Gregorio Aglipay, a Filipino Catholic priest who founded the Philippine Independent Church in 1902. He took active part in the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
