Ray;

I realize your hesitency in giving out your address. There are so 
many scams, etc.  Anyway, I'm not hunting for relationships or into
anything else.  I don't freely give out personal information.  I am
75 and don't chase men!  I* will try to tellyou how to get to your close
cemetery.  I hope it isn't too confusing.

The one in Corvalis  I think was for another side of the family, but-
Twin Oaks memorial Gardens= Go east out o Corvallis on Hwy 34 to a 
left fork in the road- the first one going to Albany. It is about in
that fork of the road.

The Powell Cemetery known as Berlin Cemetery=  Take Hwy 34 east out of 
Corvallis.  Go past freeway, staying on Hwy 34 to Lebanon.  On the east 
side of Lebanon there is a road going north to Scio or Lacomb. Don't 
go north, turn right  to Berlin.  I cannot find my directions to the
cemetery.  It is in a notebook that I take when I'm tracking things
down.  It is on a little country road around Berlin.  It is a small
community so someone could direct you.  It is on a little graval road.

The address for: 
        Oregon Historical Cemeteries Assoc.
         P.O.Box 14279
         Portland, Or. 97293

         (503)232-1643

They are a wonderful organization.  I have been a member for several years.
The lady who wrote the cemetery guide was the executive director for
many years.  She just retired last year.  They have a library that
is very helpful.  I have found where relatives were buried through
their records.

Good luck on your searching.

Dorothy Webb
