[or-roots] Cemetery North East of Heppner

Dale, Is it possible you drove from Pendleton to Heppner by way of Pilot Rock and over Franklin Summit?  By your description, the most likely cemetery you describe is the Vinson cemetery which is not on Hiway 74 at all, but it is near Butter Creek.

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.

    Also many of the Morrow County Cemeteries have been 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?
