[HistoricCemeteries] laws about pulic cemetery on private property

[W David Samuelsen]

Janice Healy had to say about this cemetery.

it's Agate Beach, aka Cape Foulweather and Megginson

Established 1873

"These burials are Indian and white graves.  Located off road. Take 
Lighthouse Drive, then take the first streetpast the Izzy's Pizza that 
leads up the hill. Rocky Way was posted No Trepassing (September 1991). 
It is at the end of this street, on the right, there are 15 known 
burials, but as of Aug. 1990 only the stones of Mrs. briggs and a boy 
could be found. The site is mostly destroyed."

Guess this is one of those cemeteries falling under protection of 
Historic Commission, especially more if there were veterans buried at 
this place.

I don't know if you know the Oregon State laws on cemeteries, but my understanding is she has to let at least family of the people buried in the cemetery into visit. But, by appointment, and she does not want people in the cemetery.
