    2. Re your question about Cooper Mountain Cemetery: See: _http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/or/washington/cemeteries/coopmtcc.txt_ (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/or/washington/cemeteries/coopmtcc.txt) which lists the names of those markers remaining at the cemetery and states: "A list of markers read in 1968 was published in St. Cecelia’s Parish’s "The First Century: A History of Catholic Life in the Beaverton Area, 1876-1976" (Oregon: the parish, 1976) [Family History Library US/CAN Book Area 979.5 A1 no. 142; Film 1321491, Item 1], p. 66." and, "The Cooper Mountain Catholic Cemetery served Sts. Peter and Paul Mission Church, part of St. Cecelia’s Parish (Beaverton, Oregon). Sts. Peter and Paul was established in 1902 on a couple acres on the top of Cooper Mountain. The church, built at the east side of the parcel, has long since disappeared. What remains is the cemetery with about 25 stones. Most stones are legible. All but a few are quite covered with lichens and moss. All but those noted below face south."
