[HistoricCemeterieslistserv] Burial location methods workshop in North Bend, April 22

[Ken and Tomoko Ono]

Hello, Kuri --

This sounds very interesting.  That is, if I am right, a demonstration  
will be presented to locate a burial.  We have a historical map that  
shows where burials should be but is without a marker or a name, just  
a space.  The space is not used or sold because there may be a burial  
there, but without a record.  This tool would be very helpful to us.    
I would like to see a demonstration.  I don't know where Marshfield  
Cemetery is.  Is it in Coos Bay?  If it is, That is too far for me to  
travel.  Perhaps, there is information over the internet?   Or,  
perhaps, there may be a demonstration at another time, in late fall,  
that would be closer to us in Portland, OR?

Thank you.

Ken Ono
