This fall the Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society is going to do an in-depth recording of the tombstones, their location, condition and other elements at the Pioneer Cemetery in The Dalles. Thus far in searches made through records we have not come across a burial map of the cemetery. It is possible it may be in boxes stored in the City Hall’s basement. Or these records could have been destroyed by fires or floods experienced in The Dalles in the 1890s. We are asking for help from the public. We would like copies of any recorded family plot descriptions/deeds that you may have available in yours or a relative’s possession. The cemetery has been known as Bigelow’s cemetery, City cemetery or Dalles City cemetery. Presently it is known as Pioneer Cemetery. If you could send copies of these recorded deeds we would be so grateful. Please send the copies to: CGGS, c/o The Dalles/Wasco County Library, 722 Court Street, The Dalles, OR 97058.
