A Living Connection
This cemetery is not just a historic site—it is part of a living family history. Among those laid to rest here is William Schooler Jones, a direct ancestor and early settler who came to Oregon on a wagon train in 1846 with his family. Preserving this land is both a personal responsibility and a commitment to honoring those who came before.
