OLD PIONEER CEMETERY
MILTON, OREGON
Courtesy of Frazier Farmstead Museum
Located west of Milton City Hall in a wheat field beyond end of S.W. 8th Ave. Untended and overgrown and with many stones moved from original location and many vandalized. Partially fenced with a locked gate at entrance. First burial this cemetery occurred in May 1878. No records have been located and it is presumed that they were lost or destroyed. The following records were compiled over a period of years from old newspapers, family records and other genealogical sources. The Oregon Department of Transportation cemetery survey printed in 1978 states this cemetery has 25-100 burials and was also known as the Old Pioneer Cemetery. There was evidence of more burials here other that the ones listed in this survey.
In the mid 1930s several graves were unearthed across the canyon from this cemetery but no identification was ever learned as to the identities. Some of the skulls were identified as Indian and some as white men and it was presumed by newspaper accounts that a battle may have occurred at this spot in the early years as this was the original stage coach road that went through this canyon and over the hill to connect with Dry Creek and on to Weston.
