[or-roots] Revenue Cemetery

[Bob & Nancy Noble]

Per the "Oregon Burial Site Guide" by Byrd, Clarke & Healy, there is a
Revenue Family cemetery located Northeast of Sandy, on the east side of Ten
Eyck Road.  This is at the east end of the town of Sandy where the one-way
highway couplet ends;  turn left (northeasterly) onto Ten Eyck Road and
drive .6 of a mile to the junction of Coalman Road from the right.  Continue
.9 of a mile north of that junction, and just north of a driveway.  It is
located on Cabbage Hill, before you descend to Revenue Bridge over the Sandy
River.  Two giant old maples are in the cemetery and a row of cedars (Thuja)
marks the east line of the burial ground.  The cemetery is located on the
Francis Revenue DLC #37,   OC #3798 and the burials range from 1853-1953.
On the map, it is at T2S  R5#. and is about 1/4 of an acre in size.  The
cemetery is also known as Cabbage Hill Cemetery.
