[or-roots] Bonney, Elwood Cemeteries

[Verdena Veelle]

Hi Jim,
That would be the Elwood Cemetery.  That sounds like about the time frame that my mother taught school there.  Her name was Lillie Moffitt.  I used to go to school there with her sometimes.  I was born in December 1942.  I do have some pictures but am not sure if there is a group picture.  Do you remember the Peterson girls or the Stahlneckers?

The Elwood Community has a reunion every year but I only found out about it fairly recently and we were unable to attend this year.  I think it was in August.  There is still a functioning church in the same building that has been there for years.

Colton had an all-school reunion in July that we did attend.

Bonney Cemetery is closer to Colton.  It is up on a hill and if I remember right you go up Bauer Road to get there.  I have been to several graveside services there but it has been awhile.

Regards,
Verdena

  I attended the first four grades of school at the Elwood School between Colton & Estacada starting in 1945.   There was a cemetery and a church across the road from this one room school.  Would this be the same cemetery?
