[or-roots] Re: Looking Glass Cemetery Book by Douglas Co. Gene. Society

[Denise Merritt]

I own the Lookingglass Cemetery Book from Douglas Co (Published 1990 from a physical inventory taken Sept. 1988 & Sexton records).  There are no HUNTLEY or LEE surnames listed.  It is not indexed but typed according to the surname on the tombstone so it is possible someone could be listed under a married name.

I also have some HUNTLEY's in my family tree of records.  James Franklin "Frank" HUNTLEY (1870-1929) married my relative Ida CENTERS (dau of Frances Gage & William Centers).  I have done some research on their specific branch of the HUNTLEY family.

I think your index is nicely done for the Myrtle Point book.

  In an earlier posting Dennis mentions the book Looking Glass Cemetery book from 1916. While the families I'm researching are predominently from the Coos County, they were also in Douglas county in Looking Glass before moving here. Does anyone have a copy of the book (or know where one exists). I'm interested in the Huntley and Lee families (Jeremiah Huntley and kin and J.D.B. Lee and family). 

  I've also just completed indexing and abstracting the book Myrtle Point Beginnings by Curt Beckham, written in 1986. It's currently posted at www.freewebs.com/homehistorian/curt/index.htm. Over 570 individuals are listed, from the 1850's until 1986. A lot of the information Curt used was from Orvil Dodge's history, but that book wasn't indexed either. I am willing to do lookups on the book if more information is needed. Curious what this group thinks of the format for the pages too.
