  This cemetery was first known as Pleasant Hill but was later changed to Pleasant View when it was discovered that the name was already being used. We do not know at this time when the name was changed.

  Pleasant View was established on or before 1866, It was on the DLC of Moses Matthew Baker. On his stone it read "Donated the land for this cemetery May 15, 1886"

  The Cemetery is 3 acres in size and has approximately 2500 graves. It is about 4 miles south of Sherwood in the Pleasant Hill district. The cemetery is fenced and has 3 gates, two of which are locked. The west gate is left unlocked. This cemetery is still in use. Some graves (probably earlier than 1866) are not marked, but many pioneers in that area have stones. Mr. Taylor has the Sexton records and they helped to fill in names for the graves without stones.

    Gary, I hope you are still doing ok. I work so much I didn't have time to email you again for a long time. I don't know if I ever answered all your questions about Hazel Shaver. I have been trying to get more information from my father Marion Vlahos, who is now almost 89. It is more difficult as he doesn't recall a lot of the details, although he is very sharp, still drives and has a good sense of humor. I live in Juneau Alaska. Hazel Shaver Vlahos and John Vlahos are buried at Pleasant View cemetery outside of Sherwood. Hazel's family (about 5 of the Shavers are buried there as well.) Sadly, so is my youngest sibling, brother Steven John Vlahos, who died almost 3 years ago in a fall at the old farmhouse in Peach Cove (near West Linn) where he was living at the time. It is the same property owned by Hazel and John in the early 1900s. It is hard to find more information about the Shavers. I would like to find out when Francis Marion Shaver came west or Ulysses Grant Shaver. One of them, UG I think was a riverboat captain on the Canby or Willamette. Well, have to get to work. Sincerely, Frances Vlahos-Rohm (I was named for Hazel Frances..)
