[or-roots] Historic Old Vancouver City (Wa.) Cemetery

[Glen Jones]

Hello Oregon Rooters 

Many of you have probably seen the news on tv or read in the paper about 

the vandalism at the Historic Old Vancouver (Washington) City Cemetery 

this cemetery was estabished in 1867 but he deaths of some of those reinterred 

go back to 1825, many old pioneers from early Washington and Oregon are interred here. 



The Clark County Genealogical Society has spent the last two years and nearly $14,000.00 dollars 

in Grant money restoring this cemetery, most of that work has been undone by this vandalism. 



The Vancouver City Police say they do not have the time nor resources to investigate this 

Crime and are asking for the public's help.
