[or-roots] Cemetery North East of Heppner

[Dale Harguess]

Could have been.  There was no name on the cemetery and I was traveling
towards Heppner from Walla Walla.  I will look at the map I have at home to
see if this is the name of the road.  I did go to findagrave and there were
a lot of Dougherty's buried in several cemeteries in the vicinity.  I have a
really good picture of the stone which says, "mother and father" and I could
shoot myself for not going inside the gate and taking more pictures but I am
afraid of snakes and there were a lot of holes around so I stayed on the
path.
