<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is working to share more cemetery stories. These are posted on the
<a href="https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2021/06/17/the-story-of-henry-dosch-born-june-17-1841/">
Oregon Heritage Exchange</a> blog and shared via Facebook. Commissioner Reed, from Portland, helped the commission create a collaboration with Multnomah County Library to share stories from their collections and connect them to Oregon’s cemeteries.

<p class="MsoNormal">The first <a href="https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2021/06/17/the-story-of-henry-dosch-born-june-17-1841/">
installment</a> from the library is about Henry Ernest Docsch and his family, whose papers are housed at the library. His interests and knowledge of horticulture was widespread and influential; most notably he introduced a hardier English Walnut into the state,
and served as Oregon Superintendent of Horticulture for multiple terms. Thanks to Jim

<p class="MsoNormal">Earlier this month <i><a href="https://oregonheritage.wordpress.com/2021/06/04/cemetery-connections-fannie-fairchild-arbogast/">Cemetery Connections: Fannie Fairchild Arbogast</a></i> was posted. It is a reflection by Commissioner Silbernagel
about her experience with the stories of the Ritter Cemetery. This is a wonderful example of the cemetery as a place for community history.
