David --
I find no listing of such a named cemetery in the 1978 A Cemetery Survey
for the State of Oregon, Clackamas County. Nor do I find it in the
1938ish DAR cemetery transcriptions for Clackamas County, nor in the
Walking Through the Cemeteries series, nor a nearly current Portland
metro Thomas Bros.
My information shows three cemeteries associated with Sandy, OR -- the
Sandy (aka Fir Hill, Fir Lawn, Hood Loop) and Cliff Side cemeteries with
which I believe you are familiar, and the Sandy Ridge Cemetery, about
1/2 mile west of Sandy. There are also the Forrester and Foster
Cemeteries in nearby Eagle Creek.
My questions -- What is your source of the transcription from 1955, and
can you give an exact location, say T R sec ? How many burials? What
family names?
Where are you physically located David?
After that little storm that came through, it probably just washed it
out ...
