Cemeteries" volume II Winter 1993, used by permission.

  This cemetery was first known as Pleasant Hill but was later changed to
Pleasant View when it was discovered that the name was already being used.
We do not know at this time when the name was changed.

  Pleasant View was established on or before 1866, It was on the DLC of
Moses Matthew Baker. On his stone it read "Donated the land for this
cemetery May 15, 1886"

  The Cemetery is 3 acres in size and has approximately 2500 graves. It is
about 4 miles south of Sherwood in the Pleasant Hill district. The cemetery
is fenced and has 3 gates, two of which are locked. The west gate is left
unlocked. This cemetery is still in use. Some graves (probably earlier than
1866) are not marked, but many pioneers in that area have stones. Mr. Taylor
has the Sexton records and they helped to fill in names for the graves
without stones.

  Wood, Alice C, b. 1861, d. 11 Mar 1905, Sec. 1 Lot 85, Born Nova Scotia
  Wood, Aubrey A., b. 1881, d. 28 Aug 1954, Sec. 1 Lot 85
  Wood, Inza R, b. 1882, d. 11 Jul 1957, Sec. 1 Lot 85
  Wood, J. N., b. 1839, d. 26 May 1908, Sec. 1 Lot 85, Mr., Born in Nova
Scotia
  Wood, Miriam E, b. 1867, d. 1962, Sec. Not Recorded, Buried next to John N
Wood

  I assume you have all the census information on John N. Wood - 1900 census
lists his wife's name as Jane H.  It indicates they all immigrated in 1882.

  The son, Aubrey A. Wood is in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census.  His wife is
Inza R. Thompson.  They have a daughter, Audrey R. born about 1907.

  There are two submitters on Ancestry.com on Aubrey Wood and his family,
probably good resources for information:    Laura Buffington

  Good luck on your search!

 I live near Denver, Colorado.  My sister and I are traveling to Oregon
 the first week of November.  I want to try and look up as many records
 as possible at that time.  So far, I can't find my g.grandfather's death
 cert. in Oregon.  He died in 1908 and is buried at Pleasant Hill
 Cemetery, near Wilsonville.

 Is anyone familiar with the Wilsonville area?  The nameI am looking for
 is John Nelson Wood and he homesteaded near Grahms Ferry Road 1900.

 Any info is helpful.
