Long lost Oregon pioneer cemetery found 
SALEM, Ore. - When vineyard manager Ken Johnston was looking into some Waldo Hills property off Howell Prairie Road, he heard that there had been a cemetery on the land someplace.

The property, ripe with significant Oregon history, was owned by Daniel Waldo. Waldo Lake east of Oakridge would someday be named for his son, John.

Waldo was an early Oregon Trail settler. He spent time at Jason Lee's Willamette Mission before settling on the property where the vineyard grows today.

Waldo served as judge for Oregon's provisional government prior to statehood, so many significant discussions and decisions took place on the property.

As the vineyard owned by Winemakers Investment Properties, LLC, was being planted a cluster of three headstone bases were discovered.
