Carol, I was recently in Umatilla County, home of the Blue Mountain Genealogical Society, and they were extremely helpful. They have several publications covering cemeteries in the county, and may be able to help you. According to Oregon GenWeb, the Weston Cemetery is the same as the Athena Cemetery. ("Weston;1871 ;Fully maintained cemetery [C]. Located one half mile west of town on hill. Athena, OR Township 4N Range 35E Section 22. Latitude 454904N Longitude 1182450W Athena, Oregon ) We were there, and the cemetery is exceptionally well maintained. Writing to the cemetery association may help you find your person. There is also a small cemetery just outside of Weston called Kees Cemetery (now called Blue Mountain). A sign indicated that records (and keys to access the area) were available at the Weston City Hall. Good luck!

You'll find separate indexes, including listings for Mansfields, at these URLs: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/or/county/umatilla/weston_cemetery.htm http://www.usgennet.org/usa/or/county/umatilla/athena_cemetery_index.htm However, this may be the one you're looking for. This is from the listing for the Blue Mountain (formerly Kees) Cemetery: http://www.bobg.org/kees_cem.htm Mansfield, Mrs. Elizabeth 1796-1884; George W., son, 1837-1890 Good luck! Beth Perry Johnston
