[or-roots] I.O.O.F. Cemetery & Laurel Hill - Eugene

[Barbara Herring]

The Oregon Genealogical Society in Eugene has pretty good information on the Pioneer Cemetery (I.O.O.F.).  I was able to confirm where my great-grandmother's sister was buried.  She appeared on only one index as there is no marker for her, but the OGS had the plot records that showed where she was buried. 



By the way, if you see a reference in Eugene to I.O.O.F. #2, that is West Lawn Memorial Park on Danebo Rd. just off W. 11th. 



Laurel Hill Cemetery is officially Laurel Grove Cemetery.  The cemetery association discovered that it had originally been platted as Laurel Grove or that there was already a Laurel Hill (can't remember which now - another one of those senior moments).  The sign at the cemetery now says Laurel Grove.  However, the cemetery is on Laurel Hill Road.

Hi, 
Lillie died in 1917 and was supposedly buried in the I.O.O.F. cemetery by the U of O.  I have her death cert from the Archives, but I would love to confirm her burial place. 
Thanks, 
Gail
