Historic Cemeteries! These new pages and updates to existing pages
include:<br>
-- Complete and up-to-date Cemetery Listings, based on the work of Alice
Wooldridge in the early 1970's, combined with research into the
cemetery records from the cemetery associations
(where available) and by walking the cemeteries and recording the
headstones and memorials present<br>
-- GPS coordinates and interactive maps for directions on how to find these cemeteries<br>
-- Cemetery plot maps, showing the location of headstones within these
four cemeteries, locations and GPS coordinates for major landmarks
within the cemetery and unmarked burials
where cemetery records show someone was buried, but no headstone exists.
<br>
-- "Hot links" on all of the graphics present on the page which can take
you to a map showing all of the publicly accessible cemeteries in
Coos county; links to Find-a-grave records where
they exist, and others. Watch for your cursor to change to a pointing
hand and click to follow the links!<br>
-- Many of the listings include obituaries or military affiliations

These four cemeteries are: <br>

This project was supported in part by a grant from the Oregon Commission
on Historic Cemeteries and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department,
which allowed me to purchase a hand-held GPS and
to provide funding for printed copies of the cemetery maps placed in the
Myrtle Point library as well as the Amling/Schroeder Mortuaries.
Additional listings and plot maps
are forthcoming for the Lee Valley, Coquille IOOF #2, Coquille Masonic
and Norway Cemeteries. This project has taken over two years to
complete.</font><br><br>Links to all of the other 19 areas of updates to the Coos county website can be found here:<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://genealogytrails.com/ore/coos/updates.html">http://genealogytrails.com/ore/coos/updates.html</a></span><br> <span style="color: black;"><div>Robyn<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://rgreenlund61@yahoo.com">rgreenlund61@yahoo.com</a><br><br><font color="#bf005f" face="bookman old style, new york, times, serif" size="2">Interested in Coos County History?
