[or-roots] Re: Pioneer Cemetery near Amity

[Sharon Ryan]

There is a cemetery at Amity, just simply called Amity.  It was est. in
1854.
According to the "Oregon Burial Site Guide" Leave Oregon Hwy 99W and go west
on the highway to Bellevue.
The cemetery is on the south side of the highway and there is a city park on
the opposite side of the hwy.
