Apolinario Batiansila Sr. RIP

Andreas found his grandfather's burial site. He knew what cemetery in San Francisco to look at, since the name of the cemetery was displayed on the death certificate. So he and Jill went there on a Sunday. A good part of it was just empty grass. They thought they'd see a map or a legend explaining who was where, but they didn't find anything.

For some reason, there was an older man on site who left the maintenance shack. He approached them and they asked him if he knew where to find Apolinario Batiansila. The man went to a map that was on canvas or cloth of some kind. He looked and found where the site should be.

Andreas and Jill tried to find it, but they couldn't and this same man helped them determine where to look.

The gravesite is empty. There's no stone, no marking. Andreas made a cross from some sticks and put it at the site.
