[or-roots] lost family?

[Bob&Diane]

In 1976 the county did not own the cemetery.  The IOOF still sort of managed the cemetery.  Their membership was dwindling.  However a couple of years later much of the downtown area burned, which included those records.  I am hoping someone will remember these people.  Just so sad their family does not care.
