Cemetery. The Ford Cemetery is located east of Umapine, just outside of
Milton-Freewater to the North. I was surprised that it is almost this one
piece of land surrounded by homes and pasture.

the Weston Public Library. Index cards for the burials are maintained at the
library. One of those neat things about living in a small town (about 700
population) like Weston. You can access the library from: <A

mind that the library is staffed by one person with limited hours. The
library is supported by the City of Weston--a tribute to the community's desire
to maintain their own library even tho Milton-Freewater and Pendleton are
about 20 minutes away. Donations and annual book sales also helps
support the library. </SPAN></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
