Luper Cemetery is near Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, and is one of the earliest pioneer cemeteries in the southern Willamette Valley. The site is also known as Irving Cemetery or Baker Cemetery. The first grave site was in 1857, although records indicate that the cemetery began in 1859, when land was donated by Thomas and Elizabeth Baker. The cemetery is named for James Luper, an 1852 pioneer from Illinois, who settled nearby in an area known for a time as Luper, Oregon. James Luper owned the land surrounding the cemetery. A grave site location service has identified 160 graves, many of pioneer families. (www.lupercemetery.com/)
Don't know if this was a marker or just a very elaborate bench, but it was quite nice. Saw no names on it, but I didn't examine it very closely.
Placerville received its name because of placer mining in the vicinity. The ghost town is located 17 miles East of Horseshoe Bend. The townsite was selected December 1, 1862; and by December 16 there were 6 cabins in the camp. By the early summer of 1863, the town had 300 buildings and a population of 5,000. At the meeting of the first legislature held in Lewiston in 1863, the citizens obtained a charter for their city. Father Mesplie, a Catholic priest, held the first church service January 4, 1864, and in that same year a stage line was established between the Basin and Wallua to carry Wells Fargo express. It ran every other day from Placerville and went through in four days. By July 1864, 4500 claims had been recorded in the that district.

A better wife than her husband deserved.
A better mother than her children deserved.
He came into the world without fanfare
and he left the same way.
But while he was here he made a difference.
Evergreen Cemetery in the East End of Richmond is overgrown, volunteer to reclaim it from Mother Nature.
I used to live very close to this little cemetery. It is quite overgrown and neglected and the signs have all gone, hopefully to be replaced because this cemetery is part of the old Stuart town history. Stuart was renamed Alice Springs in 1933. Anyway, the cemetery is on a little corner of George Crescent looked over by the railway line as it comes into the railway station.
