[or-roots] Clakamus [Clackamas] Co. cemetery info

[W David Samuelsen]

"Oregon Burial Site Guide" is much more comphrensive I have seen to
date, but still missed a few. It DOES list BIG BIG cemeteries such
as Lincoln Memorial Park of Portland, Willamette National Park, City
View Cemetery of Salem, Mount Hope of Baker City, so forth.

This same compiler who did the original Cemetery Survey is the same
person, said the death certificates are not all that cracked up to
be.   Like this one  "buried on a farm near Mulina". Where is this
one in Clackamas County? Which township/range is this one burial?

This compiler has been to many cemeteries himself, took photographs
of many tombstones in many small as well big cemeteries.

This book is blue cover and contains over 500 pages of reference.
Published 2001.
