Hi Chet,

There is a list on the OPRD Heritage Programs website. www.oregonheritage.org Look under the cemetery program and cemetery list.

By the way some might argue that the Lee Mission Cemetery is the resting place for the mother of the first white child born in Oregon. Anna Maria Pittman, though he died as an infant.

Take care, Kuri

How can I find a list of all the historic cemeteries in Oregon? It would be very interesting to go around and visit some of them. 
I didn't know until this week that St Louis cemetery the mother of the first white child born in Oregon was buried there.  There is so much history out there.

  Hi Kuri: 

  I really thought the conversation regarding the disinterment question was valuable for me as sexton of the cemetery. 
  I print the information from most of the conversations and file, just in case I need to refer to them later or someone asks a question.   I was glad to see a price for a disinterment.

  I hope you were able to tour the cemetery with Denny and John yesterday.

  These are interactions on the Historic Cemeteries Listserv for which you signed up. It is a why for people to share information about historic cemeteries.
