might have information on the Brownsville Cemetery? My husband's great

about placing a marker on them.</FONT></DIV>

Creek, Douglas County in 1866. Her mother, Mary Jane (Bunn) Hamlin Moulton
was living in Coquille, Coos County. Her stepfather, John Moulton,
came to Oregon in 1864 according to "The Pioneer History of Coos and Curry

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">
<P>The Oregon Genealogical Society in Eugene has pretty good information on
the Pioneer Cemetery (I.O.O.F.). I was able to confirm where my
great-grandmother's sister was buried. She appeared on only one
index as there is no marker for her, but the OGS had the plot records that
showed where she was buried.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>By the way, if you see a reference in Eugene to I.O.O.F. #2, that is West
Lawn Memorial Park on Danebo Rd. just off W. 11th.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Laurel Hill Cemetery is officially Laurel Grove Cemetery. The
cemetery association discovered that it had originally been platted as Laurel
Grove or that there was already a Laurel Hill (can't remember which now -
another one of those senior moments). The sign at the cemetery now says
Laurel Grove. However, the cemetery is on Laurel Hill Road. </P>
