Oregon Cemeteries

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Collection contains tombstone inscriptions from Oregon cemeteries. This collection is described in the “Genealogy” article on this site. Another important collection is Oregon Cemetery Records, 2 vols. (Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society, 1956-61; FHL book 979.5 V3p; films 824258-59).

Oregon cemeteries are listed in Oregon Cemetery Survey (Salem, Oregon: Oregon Department of Transportation, 1978; FHL book 979.5 V34o; film 1033848 item 4; fiche 6051231). This gives the name, size, location, condition, and sexton's or caretaker's address of each cemetery.
