This might be an appropriate time to repost my query about the Oregon
Pioneers buried in the Milliorn Cemetery near Junction City. These are not my
direct family -- so if anyone is offended by that, please just click on "delete".
I am making one last stab at collecting available information before I put my
document in the Junction City Historical Society's library.

Query to Or-Roots Mailing List for Information 5 December 2004
I am appealing to anyone on this list who might have any information about
the people listed here who are buried in Milliorn Cemetery in Junction City,
Oregon.
This cemetery is very close to the edge of what is now High Pass Road
(slated to be upgraded in 2009). I am putting together as much information as
possible about those buried there -- real pioneers of Junction City. I am in the
process of putting together the history of the cemetery and bios of the people
to present to the Planning Commissions and Councils that might be eager to
wipe out part of the cemetery to please developers.

Supposedly he was in prison with a Rev. Skaggs who is credited for saving his
life.); He was living in South Junction Precinct at the time of the 1910 Federal
