What is the name of the people who were moved? Maybe we can find them in the El Paso Co. cemetery index.

Forest View Cemetery was moved in 1976 to Eastonville Cemetery, in Black Forest, NE of the Springs, but it involved only three graves of children/babies.

The County Poor Farm cemetery was moved a few yards west in 1957, but none of those buried are known.

Some burials in Memorial Gardens, Colorado Springs, may have been moved to other parts of the cemetery when Academy Blvd. was widened. This cemetery was opened ca. 1952 and was still quite small in the 1960s, but that's a possibility, I suppose.

I'm not aware of any others that have been moved.
