Glen;

I find a Memorial Gardens not too far from Mt. Nebo, but I don't think
that's what you are looking for.

http://www.interment.net/data/us/or/douglas/rosenat/roseburg_pr.htm

is a partial listing of the Roseburg National Cememetery on Interment dot
net.

okay, here is the index page for that cemetery;

http://www.interment.net/data/us/or/douglas/rosenat/index.htm

but it doesn't list the location;

Roseburg National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in
Oregon, Douglas County, Oregon. It encompasses 4.1 acres, and as of the end
of 2005, had 3,442 interments. It is administered by the Eagle Point
National Cemetery.

The 1930s-1950s was also a significant period for the Veteran's
Administration (VA). Established by Congress in 1930, the VA assumed care
and responsibility for the soldier's homes, known as the Na-tional Homes for
Disabled Veterans (NHDVS), and for the cemeteries operated on those
properties. The new agency constructed many VA medical facilities across the
country and some included cemeteries within their boundaries.
