[or-roots] Cemetery North East of Heppner

[LinLouVan at aol.com]

Dale,
I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned the Oregon Historic Cemeteries  
Commission. Kuri Gill who is in charge of the program is very knowledgeable 
 about old cemeteries in the state. It is ironic that they Commission just 
had  their quarterly meeting in Weston this past weekend. Go to the Heritage 
 Commission website and then to historic cemeteries.

Dale, the other option would be to  list the name of the headstone that you 
photographed and perhaps someone in  that area would recognize it OR search 
find-a-grave for that name and if it  is listed, find the name of the 
cemetery where it is buried.

transcribed and you  might find the name there.

Dale, 
The  Findagrave site often has pictures of the entrance to cemeteries, 
perhaps  checking that would reveal the name of the cemetery.  Those that  don’t 
have photos sometimes have at least a map attached to orient  yourself from 
the road you were on when you encountered the  site.

I got out just in time, I think.  I was in Walla  Walla and went to a 
family reunion in Milton-Freewater on Oct. 1.  It  was hot in Walla Walla while I 
was there but then on Monday we headed out  toward Pendleton through 
Heppner.  It was starting to cool off and  was quite pleasant.  By the time I got 
to Reno, Nevada it had dropped  over 20 degrees.  On Thursday it snowed and 
when I left for home on  Saturday, Oct. 8 the Sierras were all white.  Very 
nice to not have  been snowed in as I was leery of that.
 
I bumped into an unmarked cemetery just a little North  East of Heppner.  
It was out in a field behind two fences.  I  walked up to it and took a 
picture of one of the very large stones.   I don't know if I can attach pictures 
to this site or not.  I wish I  knew the name of the cemetery and I also 
wish I would have written down  the names I saw.  It wasn't very large but had 
a lot of stones in  it.
 
Does anyone out there know the name of this  cemetery?
