[or-roots] Luper Cemetery

[Denise Merritt]

With all those directions you should be able to find it in the neighborhood. 
It must be close even tho Google Earth doesn't match up the exact address 
David provided I suspect it won't be difficult to locate once you are 
actually "there".

This is a good week-end for visiting cemeteries - I have fond memories of 
cemetery searches done on Memorial Day week-end as many cemeteries are 
"unlocked" that are otherwise closed.
