  < <  i have always been told that the waconda cem. is now beneath I-5. does anyone know for sure?  in his write-up for his death, it says jarius bonney is buried at the waconda cem. but everyone in and around that area tells me there is no cem. in that town. -- gary in az > > 

  Gary -- 

  dates would be helpful -- and do you know just where "that area" is on a modern map?  There were two locations in Oregon named Waconda -- the one near Gervais was abandonded long before the railroad used the named for one of its locations -- railroads typically named a place for about every two to five miles of track, whether there was anything there or not -- more at: http://www.salemhistory.net/transportation/electric_railway_waconda.htm

  how this might all tie into the name of Salem's Pioneer Cemetery, I do not know

  Godspeed!
