Well, I am sorry to hear that the State of Oregoon would be so callous, I
had thought that they were held to higher standards. I did know that
destroying a cemetery was no big crime in Oregon as I am aware of others at
risk, Laurel Hill in Glenwood being a prime example that is near and dear to
my heart. It would seem that Gary's family has been unfairly singled out for
loss though and that is really sad. I guess it is a good thing his Kin have
him to ferret out this information so there is at least a paper trail of the
last resting places of all these missing folks.

If someone had access to a USGS map from before 1950 it should have the
location of the cemetery at Waconda on it, unfortunately I do not know of
any ready source of this information.
