Sharon and Carla:

I am a little confused here (ever notice how often I use that expression?)
Are you saying the cemetery Carla is looking for is in Bellvue? at a city
park there? Or on the road to Bellevue; 5th street is the street you take to
leave town to go to Bellevue and the cemetery I found on USGS is just off
that, but USGS also shows the Deer Creek Cememtery about two miles south of
Bellevue. If a person were driving to Bellevue from Amity on whatever it is
5th street turns into, there is a country road going south off of that just
a few hundred feet before you reach the intersection with hiway 18 in
Bellevue and about 1 1/2 to two miles down that is Deer Creek Cemetery.

If it is the one in Amity I mentioned last night, it sounds like Carla is
going to be coming from the North. In that case
this sort of gets you there;

5. Take I-5 SOUTH towards SALEM/TIGARD - go 0.6 mi
6. Take I-5 SOUTH - go 5.6 mi
7. Take the OR-99W exit towards NEWBERG/TIGARD, exit #294 - go 0.3 mi
8. Continue on OR-99W SOUTH - go 15.3 mi
9. Continue on OR-99W SOUTH/OR-219 NORTH - go 0.5 mi
10. Continue on OR-99W SOUTH - go 6.4 mi
11. Bear  on SE DAYTON BYP - go 0.3 mi
12. SE DAYTON BYP becomes DAYTON BYP - go 1.7 mi
13. Continue on SE DAYTON BYP - go 2.2 mi
14. SE DAYTON BYP becomes DAYTON BYP - go 0.1 mi
15. Continue on NE THREE MILE LN - go 2.2 mi
16. Continue on MCMINNVILLE BYP/NE THREE MILE LN - go 0.1 mi
17. Continue on E MCMINNVILLE BYP - go 1.5 mi
18. E MCMINNVILLE BYP becomes W MCMINNVILLE BYP - go 0.2 mi
19. Continue towards OR-99W - go 0.2 mi
20. Turn  on SW OR-99W - go 2.8 mi
21. Continue on S OR-99W - go 2.1 mi
22. S OR-99W becomes N TRADE ST - go 0.3 mi
23. Continue on S TRADE ST - go 0.3 mi
24. Arrive at the center of AMITY, OR

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.
