  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 the 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.



  Glen Jones Portland, Oregon rooter and Past officer of the

  Clark County Genealogical Society
