<DIV>I just called my mother-in-law who has family buried in the Pleasant View/Hill Cemetery. The Tooze Road area is the correct area. She said that they always went from Sherwood, and that there were several directional signs to the cemetery. I don't know which end of Tooze Road (which goes East-West) it is on. From what I am interpreting from what she said (which, of course, could be off), is that from the south end of Sherwood, they took Ladd Hill Road to Pleasant Hill Road to Tooze Road.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> Okay; <BR>> <BR>> My apologies, Gary et al, I was basing my directions on the lat and long <BR>> that Sue gave from the quotation, now here is where it gets weird, that is <BR>> in Section 12, I am haveing a hard time coming up with township and range, <BR>> as USGS doesn't make those easy online, but now that I notice where it is in <BR>> relation to Sherwood, which is not where I thought it was. Unfortunately the <BR>> USGS online page changes the image radically between certain resolutions and <BR>> I could never figure out where I was in relation to Sherwood because by the <BR>> time I zoommed out to find it, I had no idea where on the screen the <BR>> cemetery at; Lat: 45D 24' 35" N, Lon: 122D 59' 27" W Lat was in relation to <BR>> it, with a lot of switching between two copies which is also hard to do as <BR>> when you open a copy from their web site, you can open all the copies of <BR>> your net brower you want after that and find another location, but the web <BR>> page will post the result to the first copy of their map you have opened up. <BR>> I discovered I could open multiple copies by clicking on the link in my <BR>> email. <BR>> <BR>> Okay, Bill, NOW I am more confused than ever, according to what I can figure <BR>> from USGS, section three is just south of Sherwood, but I must have the <BR>> wrong Sherwood according to your statement that it is on the Clackamas <BR>> county border because USGS has that border 5 or 6 miles east, right close to <BR>> the Willamette Meridian. USGS has a link to a Pleasant View cemetery at the <BR>> right number of miles south of Sherwood (I think,) but it is about twenty <BR>> miles east there of??? Again the way USGS changes it's image so radically <BR>> with changes in Scale had me fooled, for the longest time I was confusing <BR>> Damascus, which is very close to the Pleasant View I just mentioned with <BR>> Dammasch Hospital when I was jumping around trying to pin this cemetery <BR>> down. <BR>> <BR>> Okay I gave up on USGS and downloaded a program that lets me download as <BR>> much territory as I want, Unfortunately it doesn't have Township and Range <BR>> info on it, but for free I am not complaining. now if we go four miles South <BR>> from Sherwood, we do not come to section three, but we do come to a Pleasant <BR>> Hill Cemetery in section 9, which is off of Tooze Road, and I finally <BR>> figured out the county line thing, man they really weirded out when they <BR>> stuck that area in Clackamas county, it is a tongue of land about five miles <BR>> wide sticking six mile west between Washington and Yamhill and Marion <BR>> counties??? <BR>> <BR>> Still I am confused, is the cemetery I mention off of Tooze road what Gary <BR>> is looking for or what? If that is the right one, it is about four miles <BR>> south of the Sherwood that I finally figured out really is the right one, so <BR>> I assume it is the right place? Gary if you'd like I can email you an image <BR>> and map of the cemetery, if you don't have a problem with downloads. <BR>> Otherwise I can take another stab at trying to give you driving directions, <BR>> USA Photo Maps make it a lot easier to follow, should have done it a long <BR>> time ago. <BR>> <BR>> That offer is extended to others, if you have an obscure cemetery, I can <BR>> (probably) send you a map of the location and a fairly decent aerial photo, <BR>> the one off Tooze road looks like I can almost see the gravestones. It looks <BR>> like the images are about 100 KB and larger maps are only 250 KB or so, most <BR>> folks shouldn't have a problem downloading that small a file. <BR>> <BR>> Les C <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Gary, et al -- <BR>> <BR>> There seems to be some problems identifying this cemetery and it's correct <BR>> location, so if you will bear with me for a bit, I'll try to explain: <BR>> <BR>> Sue wrote: <BR>> <BR>> http://www.interment.net/data/us/or/washington/pleasant/pleasant.htm <BR>> Pleasant View Cemetery <BR>> Sherwood, Washington County, Oregon <BR>> Lat: 45=B024'35"N, Lon: 122=B059'27"W <BR>> <BR>> R1W T3S Sec 5 <BR>> <BR>> Contributed by Deanna J Warren, Jul 30, 2001 [dwarren@bctonline.com]. <BR>> Total records =3D 1,408.=20 <BR>> <BR>> Reprinted courtesy of Lucille Geigle author of "Walking Through The <BR>> Cemeteries" volume II Winter 1993, used by permission. ... <BR>> <BR>> The Cemetery is 3 acres in size and has approximately 2500 graves.

Also, it is the wrong cemetery. <BR>> <BR>> The Interment.net site shows a burial for U G Shaver in the listed cemetery, <BR>> but this is where the confusion starts. <BR>> <BR>> Now, for the geography lesson. The City of Sherwood, which is in Washington <BR>> County, has a common boundary on part of its southern edge with Clackamas <BR>> County. The basis for the Interment.net information is Lucille Geigle's <BR>> "Walking Through The Cemeteries" volume II, Winter 1993. Ms Geigle's work is <BR>> for Clackamas County cemeteries, and as she states, "It [Pleasant View <BR>> Cemetery] is about 4 miles south of Sherwood in the Pleasant Hill district" <BR>> which is in Clackamas County. <BR>> <BR>> The cemetery where U G Shaver is buried is on SW Westfall Rd west of Baker <BR>> Road, near the intersection of Westfall and SW 145th Ave. Westfall also has <BR>> two terminal intersections with SW Tooze Rd going to Wilsonville, which is <BR>> probably the easiest way to get there if you are unfamiliar with the area. <BR>> <BR>> Apparently there are Pleasant Hill Cemeteries in Polk, Umatilla, and <BR>> Washington Counties, as well as two Pleasant View cemeteries in Clackamas <BR>> County and others elsewhere I am sure. What about that pioneer cemetery in <BR>> Pleasant Hill, east of Eugene? Confusion reigns! <BR>> <BR>> My Thomas Bros map book does not show the cemetery on Campbell Rd -- maybe <BR>> somebody closer could go by and see what is there? <BR>> <BR>> Bill Strickland <BR>> <BR>> . <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________ <BR>> or-roots mailing list <BR>> or-roots@sosinet.sos.state.or.us <BR>> http://sosinet.sos.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots <BR>> -- <BR>> No virus found in this incoming message. <BR>> Checked by AVG Free Edition. <BR>> Version: 7.1.362 / Virus Database: 267.12.8/161 - Release Date: 11/3/2005 <BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> No virus found in this outgoing message. <BR>> Checked by AVG Free Edition. <BR>> Version: 7.1.362 / Virus Database: 267.12.8/161 - Release Date: 11/3/2005 <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________ <BR>> or-roots mailing list <BR>> or-roots@sosinet.sos.state.or.us <BR>> http://sosinet.sos.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
