[or-roots] Pleasant Hill Cemetery

[Leslie Chapman]

I can't say absolutely that no graves were disturbed as I was not involved
in the project, but I do not believe any were as I was through the area
several times in the course of the work and did notice the proximity of the
work to the cemetery early on.

Now it is possible he was buried without a grave marker. Have you determined
if the mortuary is still in business, or tried to find out where their
records went? I don't find any listing in the phone book for that cememtery,
maybe somebody else on the list knows who is in charge of it.

You could also contact the genealogy society in Eugene, they might be able
to help you.

My problem is that he is not listed on the index of graves, yet his death
certificate says Pleasant Hill Cemetery.  He lived at Goshen from 1853 to
his death in 1913. The coroner and mortuary were in Springfield.  According
to his death certificate, he died one day and was buried the next day.  I
can't see them taking the body up to Sherwood when all of the relatives were
either in the Goshen, Klamath Falls or in Eastern Oregon (Gilliam or Morrow
Counties).

Do you know if there were grave sites in Pleasant Hill that perhaps didn't
have a stone?  When the highway was widened, were any graves moved?

Thanks for any and all help.
