Unfortunately, the newspaper has apparently chosen not to show the story in its online version of the paper, but I wanted to let you know the project exists. Many local businesses and people, as well as the Hood River County Historic Museum, have become involved in the project. Thirteen graves have been found, but it is believed 27-39 people are buried at Frankton Cemetery. According to the newspaper article, the young man ". . . welcomes any historical or genealogical information pertaining to the cemetery." I hesitate to put personal information on the web, but if anyone is interested please email me privately at bpjohnston@charter.net and I will send you contact information. Beth Perry Johnston
