the freeway is the Roseburg Masonic Cemetery/Memorial gardens was a part of his original DLC and is very close to the NW corner of it. On the 1967
Metzger map it shows both the DLC boundary and a section right near that NW corner identified as a "Cemetery". Per Historic Cemeteries in Oregon (Kuri Gill) the
Old Roseburg Masonic Cemetery annotation says "Refer to 1897 deed" and Old
Masonic Cemetery. It was also called Roseburg Pioneer Cemetery. Since often
cemeteries which were originally family cemeteries were later turned
over to fraternal organizations, my suspicion is that this plot was a family cemetery until it was deeded to the Masons. According to Jeremiah's Will, this
section of land would have been the piece given to his son, Milton, who was estranged from his wife about then and living in Curry county. <br><br>Thoughts on where to go next on this one anyone? <br></font><br></font><div><span style="color:black;"><div>Robyn<br><a saprocessedanchor="true" 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?

still exist, and where they can be found?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Assessment Census for '95 <br clear="none">
Tax payers should begin taking an inventory and account of what property they possess liable to taxation. The assessor is required by law to assess each man with what he owns on the first day of March, and no matter if you sell your house and lot on the 2nd
day of March, and the assessor does not assess you until the middle of June, you will have to pay taxes on that house and lot just as though you owned it in June. It is a physical impossibility for the assessor to call on every man in the county on the first
day of March and hence you will save both yourself and the county official much time, if you will prepare a list of your property on the first of March and lay it away where you can place your hand on it when he does come. the legislature of 1864, then meeting
in October, passes a law making it the duty of the assessor at the time of assessing his county in 1865 and every ten years thereafter to take an enumeration of the inhabitants and industrial products of his county. In this enumeration there are 27 columns
to be filled out and Assessor Sterling estimates that it will take more time to make the census this year than to make the assessment. For example in each family, he must list the number of males over 21 years, number between 10 and 21 and number under 10,
and the females between 10 and 18. He must get the number of bushels of wheat, oats, barley, corn and rye; tons of hay, pounds of wool, butter, cheese and the number of horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and all productions. The census rolls are to be turned
over to the county clerk when compiled and it is his duty to keep a copy and send original to secretary of state.
