[or-roots] Updates to Coos county websites

[Robyn Greenlund]

Announcing updates to four of the South Coos County's  Historic Cemeteries! 
These new pages and updates to existing pages  include:
-- Complete and up-to-date Cemetery Listings, based on the work of Alice  
Wooldridge in the early 1970's, combined with research into the  cemetery 
records from the cemetery associations  (where available) and by walking the 
cemeteries and recording the  headstones and memorials present
-- GPS coordinates and interactive maps for directions on how to find these 
cemeteries
-- Cemetery plot maps, showing the location of headstones within these  four 
cemeteries, locations and GPS coordinates for major landmarks  within the 
cemetery and unmarked burials where cemetery records show someone was buried, 
but no headstone exists. 

-- "Hot links" on all of the graphics present on the page which can take  you to 
a map showing all of the publicly accessible cemeteries in  Coos county; links 
to Find-a-grave records where they exist, and others. Watch for your cursor to 
change to a pointing  hand and click to follow the links!
-- Many of the listings include obituaries or military affiliations 

These four cemeteries are: 

Catching Creek Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map 
Coquille IOOF Pioneer Cemetery #1 Listing Cemetery Plot Map 
Gravelford Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map 
Upper Fishtrap Pioneer Cemetery Listing Cemetery Plot Map 
This project was supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Commission  on 
Historic Cemeteries and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department,  which 
allowed me to purchase a hand-held GPS and to provide funding for printed copies 
of the cemetery maps placed in the  Myrtle Point library as well as the 
Amling/Schroeder Mortuaries.  Additional listings and plot maps are forthcoming 
for the Lee Valley, Coquille IOOF #2, Coquille Masonic  and Norway Cemeteries. 
This project has taken over two years to  complete.

Links to all of the other 19 areas of  updates to the Coos county website can be
