<DIV>The current administrators are very helpful. They gave me everything
they had from 1949 forward. In my case about 70 pages. But they had
no records prior to 1949. I believe this cemetery began in the late
1880's. </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>The Pioneer Cemetery Association, located in Portland should have
records of the graves in this cemetery. I don't have the address or phone
number but you should be able to find it in your Portland phone
directory.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>I remember the cemetery well from growing up in Parkrose. The
cemetery wasn't always surrounded by roads as it is now but I don't know just
when that happened as I have lived in So. Oregon since 1949.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>My Dad's side of the family were all buried in the Multnomah Park
(now) Pioneer Cemetery. I was able to get information from the Cem. Assoc. as
well as a plot map, although I did know where most of the older ancestors were
buried. An annual Memorial Day trek while growing up and I still visit it when
I can.</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is there any records as to who and when people were
buried there prior to 1949. It is my understanding that this is the
year the management of this cemetery change from the Powell Grove
Cemetery Association to Multnomah County.</FONT></DIV>
