Is there anyone who could give us the details of the Historical cemetery walk in Hillsboro? The horse drawn carriage sounds wonderful, Did you get any press? It would have been nice if the Argus covered it.

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.
