> 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 <g>
