Longest Cemetery Residents

Included in this list are all the burial records for individuals who died before 1871. Besides all being pioneers, it is interesting to note how young they are in general. Not many old people made the overland journey so the population as a whole was rather young and of course life was usually hard for settlers in the early years as they got established. Another indication that these are all new immigrants is that all those born in Oregon are infants and young children. Everyone else was born in the East.

These records are listed by burial date. The earliest ledger records are incomplete so several other people who are listed without a burial date probably belong on this list as well. Nineteen of these thirty individuals are missing monuments. Thomas Tuckness, while he has a monument here, was likely buried in Missouri.
