[or-roots] Which Pioneer Cemetary?

[CARROLLOUC at aol.com]

I'm sorry - apparently I somehow missed the name  of the cemetery.
 
Multnomah Park Pioneer Cem. is where several of my  ancestors are buried - 
grandparents (2), gr grandparents (3) and other odd  assorted family members.
 
When I first researched this cemetery I wrote to the  Pioneer Cem. Assoc. I 
was sent not only the numbers of the gravesites but a map  that had been marked 
so I could find them easily. Am still looking there for one  gr grandparent. 
I knew where he was buried when I was a kid in Portland as we  went to the 
cemetery frequently, but all that marked his grave was a wooden  piece of 4 x 4 
with a "C" carved in the top.  Many of the older grave sites  have small, 
concrete markers that have sunk so far down they are covered with  sod and are 
difficult to find. The Cem. Assoc. is very helpful when it comes  to helping you 
find where they are buried.
 
I still stop at the cemetery when I am visiting in  Ptld. I live in Medford.
 
Good luck on your research.

The one that Terry  told me about.  I am just so interested in finding this 
grave.  I  have been looking for over 6 years with no luck and now she says it 
is in  Portland.

There are a number of pioneer  cemetarys in the Portland/Multnomah area. 
Which one are you referring to in  re; to the Hardwicks?
