Hi Gary, 

At this web site below, looks like Pioneer Memorial cem. on Waconda Rd. is
same also & has these other names including Waconda?
Maybe when they put I-5 in they moved the original Waconda Cem. graves, I
hope? I didn't find your jarius bonney at the Pioneer Cem. so maybe he is at
the original Waconda Cem. under 1-5? That is the case here at Scappoose
Oregon, A Mr Jackson had a donation land claim here in 1843 & died of small
pox shortly after arriving from the gold fields in CA. with gold that the
family says & has the original  map (I have copy) location of his grave (X)
& shows gold in the creek area that he buried in Jackson Creek & was buried
near what the local Chinook Indians called gravely plains, It's as you come
from the south (Portland way) heading north towards & just before Scappoose,
OR today & the rail road came though way back, then Hwy 30 came though..then
they widened  Hwy 30 & moved the graves that were in Farview Cem. (No
Jackson there) Will anyways I have helped his family with the research &
even went to the court house/records, walking with my granddaughter by my
side, to search for his grave, but I believe the family is right,he is
buried under hwy 30 or else under tons of dirt that was plowed our the years
in the field close to the RR & Hwy 30. To this day my granddaughter wants to
go back & look for his grave & maybe we will...She's just like her grandma

Hi Les,
 
Thanks, I have checked all the Salem Pioneer cemeteries I could find.. to no
avail. 
But, I did just a few minutes ago come across this, (Keizer's only burial
ground) very interesting reading.

Nancy;
 
It would seem there isn't a Keizer cemetery, best guess I could give you
would be Salem Pioner, but no Mccubbins listed there.
 
http://www.idreamof.com/cemetery/or.html
 
you can find a list of most of the cemeteries in Marion county there, I
assume they are listed by location also and you should be able to find those
closest to Keizer as possibilities. I checked the USGS topo maps and found
no indication of any cemetery in the Keizer area.

i have always been told that the waconda cem. is now beneath I-5. does
anyone know for sure?  in his write-up for his death, it says jarius bonney
is buried at the waconda cem. but everyone in and around that area tells me
there is no cem. in that town.
gary in az.
