Thanks to Jim and everyone who wrote me about my cemetery inquiry! I got more response than I ever expected! And a special thanks to Floa Swisher who went way above the call and actually went to Newark to find the cemetery and get up-to-the-minute directions for my sister-in-law. It is so refreshing to find a group of people who are willing to give assistance. If anyone ever needs info on the Oregon/Washington area, please contact me so I can return the favor!
