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

[Robyn Greenlund]

Glen -

Will there be a work party at the cemetery to repair some of the damage? If so, can you let people know so perhaps we could help?

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.
 
Glen Jones Portland, Oregon rooter and Past officer of the
Clark County Genealogical Society
