[or-roots] Cemetery North East of Heppner

Careful :-) That's Doherty.  Again, if it's right on the main road, and if you call Franklin Hill a main road, the only one right on the road that meets your description and has a bunch of Dohertys and some Vinsons in it is the Vinson cemetery.

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.

I looked at the picture again and even though it is a pretty good picture I'm not sure of the spelling of the name.  It was Dougherty and I remember there were a lot of the stones with that name as well as a couple of other names.  Even though it is out in the middle of a wheat field it looks like it is visited often.  There is a clear path to the gate and fake flowers on some of the graves.  It is in a pretty desolate place.  Nice fence though.

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.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ormorrow/morrow_county_oregon_cemeteries.htm  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?
