Judith, Could you do a look up for My Great Grandmother and her second husband. They are buried at the old Scotch church. I am missing a few details. They are buried next to each other. When you enter the walkway to the front of the church, they are to your left a few rows in and up front. Do you have anymore info than the transcription? Fred Alvord, d.? Maybelle Alvord d.

Jewel, If you are talking about the Old Scotch church then this is what I remember, You take Glencoe road out towards HWY 26. Before you hit the hwy you need to turn RIGHT on Zion Church Rd. Travel not to far down and the church/cemetery will be to your left. Here is the Url: http://www.oldscotchchurch.org/ Hopefully this will get you there. >From: "Mann, Jewel L." <MannJ@nwmedstar.org> >Reply-To: ORWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com >To: ORWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [WASHINGTON] Monumental Moments >Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 06:31:17 -0700 > >JUlie >I believe my grandmother is burried there, I went there as a young girl and >I thought it was off of hwy 26 near North Plains, am I close and is there a >way to confirm it?

Hello List, I posted this link once before but am not sure if it was resent after getting new information on the picture. http://home1.gte.net/tkirk9/buxton/buxton_school.htm There was an oil drilling rig set up near Buxton in 1920s. I have been told it was on the PONGRATZ place but my source has the dates confused and I have not been able to locate any additional information. Any one have any clues on this one?

My 4th ggrandfather, 4th ggrandmother, 3rd ggrandfather, 3rd ggrandmother, and one of their daughters and her husband, plus relatives of my 3rd ggrand mother are buried in the Old Pioneer cemetery, and I was very dissappointed not to be able to attend, but the living need to take precedence at times, and my nieces wedding was a priority... anyway... this is my bit...

THE BANKS HERALD Banks, Oregon, Thursday July 17, 1913 BURGLARS VISIT BANKS GIVEN HOT RECEPTION Nothing like it ever took place in Banks before, and it is to be hoped never will again. Two young men, strangers in community, came into town last Friday, loitered abut during the day, and in evening proceeded to steal good from the Kinton & Schulmerich store. Mr. Kinton noticed the fellows and suspicioned them, so after closing, seeing the men still on the street, he watched to see what they were up to. It wasn't long before they were seen fooling around one of the side windows, and then one effected and entrance and crawled in. Help was called from the hotel and armed with guns Messrs, Kinton, Wilson, Walker, Engen, and Foltzenlogel hurried over to the building. Some going one way and some another, they encircled it and came upon one of the fellows by the window. He leveled a gun at Kinton, Walker and Engen and demanded them to throw up their hands. They ducked, and at that instant Wilson fired at him and he shot at Kinton, both shots coming pretty close to hitting. He then got down and crawled under the store. All this time the fellow on the inside was trying to get out, and finding his way at the window blocked he broke through the front doors and made a dash across the street, and as he ran Wilson empted his revolver at him. He stumbled over the crosswalk and fell, fired several shots from a revolver, and flew out of town. By this time more town's people had been awakened and were gathering about and all went after the man under the building, to keep him there till Sheriff Reeves who had been telephoned, and his deputy Mr. Applegate arrived. Every place of escape was watched, and whenever he peeked out he was ordered back with several guns looking at him. The Sheriff arrived at about 12:30 and finding where the follow was he and his deputy went under the store and brought him out. He had hid his revolver and when the sheriff asked him for it he denied having one, but it and his other tools were found under the store. He was taken to Hillsboro and after being lodged in jail gave his name as George McGrew. Sheriff Reeves thinks he belongs to the gang that has been robbing other stores in the county, and articles since found in his lodging house room in Portland tend to strengthen that belief. NOTES Someone urged Max, Burt Friday's dog, to go under the store, and McGrew shot at him, the bullet cutting the nape of the dog's neck. Bullets fired by the fellow who escaped penetrated the side of W.S. Atlee 's store wall and were found in the store. The prisoner is a good type of the class whose lives are spent in the under world. The fellow who entered the store disturbed nothing, and did nothing but try to get out and away. Some religious person rang the church bell thinking to call out the fire company, but there was no response. [The notes were part of the original article] I do not have any connection to the persons named in this article.

Dear Julie: As part of the Committee of three orgranizations (Washington County Family History society, Oregon Historic Cemeteries Assn.,Inc, & Hillsboro Historical Society) that put on the "Monumental Moments" cemetery walk, we were gratified by the turnout. The weather was good, a big factor, and yes the Argus gave us a very nice write up on Thursday the 11th; and an article appeared in the Oregonian on that same day in the Washington County section. I am told that the Argus will have a photo essay on Tuesday the 16th. They have been very kind to us. The Hearse is owned by the Fir Lawn Mortuary and Cemetery; and was brought over through their courtesy. It was built in Canada; acquired by Gordon Bronleewe in 1985. It is available for use at this time. Saralie gave you the outline about the Cemetery's history; it was purchased from the family of Anthony Tongue; once was part of the David Hill/Wheelock Simmons Donation Land Claim. It has had a long history of care and little care; but the City of Hillsboro is now doing a good job. The cemetery was Lodge founded, and maintained by them until 1972.

According to the program given to visitors, "The Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery was founded in about 1860 by two fraternal organizations, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Masonic Lodge. The spaces were separate and known as the IOOF and Masonic Cemeteries. There were burials here before the formation, including David Hill, the town namesake who died in 1850. Creed Turner, hanged for murder in 1851 also was buried in this vicinity. He has no marker. For many years the cemeteries were maintained by these two lodges, lots were sold to members and non-members. L. E. Wilkes bought another 2 acres from the Tongue estate in 1929 to resell as burial lots. Edwin Bowman is to be remembered and honored as the gatherer and keeper of the records from 1952 until the City of Hillsboro accepted responsibility for the cemetery in 1972." They also provided a generalized map indicating that from the West to East, the cemetery is divided into four sections. West IOOF Masonic East IOOF Tongue Family Cemetery The tiny Tongue Family Cemetery is located adjacent to the southeast corner of the EAST IOOF. It has wonderful old trees outlining its lot. The "representatives" did a wonderful job telling a little about the life of each person beside whose stone they were standing. It's easy to tell that a lot of planning and research went into the monologues, the program and costumes. Though the traffic noise of Highway 8 was a slight distraction, the event was totally enjoyable, especially the soulful violin being played in the background and sounding gently throughout the cemetery.

Periodically over the past nine years I have lived here, several names for some cemeteries around here have puzzled me, and some transcribers have done double work in some cemeteries under the assumption the cemetery they transcribed had only one name. I guess it is a growing process that will result in our transcriptions of the future, and all we can correct, will be listed under every name cemeteries are known by. The cemetery walk took place in a cemetery sometimes called the pioneer cemetery, and indeed names of known pioneers are found buried there. I suspect since the cemetery is just blocks from old downtown Hillsboro, on the old wagon road (before the railroad) to Orchards (now Cornelius), and the absolutely intriguing old College Town Forest Grove, suggests to me that it was the original cemetery of Hillsboro when it was surrounded by farm land with small churches founded here and there on the dirt roads. How it garnered other names as it grew would be interesting to know, but possible it was one farm where different churches had different plots donated to them, so named each plot the way they wanted to. It would be interesting to know who the farmer was who originally donated the land, or even the year in which that occurred. The earliest burial I have found was in the Forest Grove Cemetery three miles west and dated 1835. That was a few years before Forest Grove was founded, and was probably a private burial on what was farm land. I have no further information on that very early pioneer. It would be interesting to know if he was killed by Indians, died by accident (some drowned in the Tualatin River, and in other floods of lowlands), or died of natural causes. Adding to the interest, he was here long before wagon trains came, long before Portland was here, long before the railroad came, long before the side-wheeler steam boats plied the Tualatin as far as Orchards; how did he get here?..................he was really, really early, an Oregon "Sooner" I guess<GRIN> Sorry I missed it gang......I really wanted to meet you all. Perhaps we can do this again, perhaps as an annual event, or perhaps quarterly featuring different old cemeteries in this part of our universe. One thing I am working on is linking every cemetery transcription to photographs provided by visitors. So if anyone has photographs of any cemetery in this county, I will add them to the USGW, Washington County, Oregon website so visitors can find them. Don --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

We went to the cemetery walk...it was wonderful! Interesting and fun, especially the Benjamin who was representing his own fifth great grandfather...all the representatives were very informative. I didn't know that was a cemetery combined from three original ones, nor that it had a substantial potters field...
