  • Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum “The Call of a Better Way”
    Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum at City View Cemetery 100th Anniversary 1914-2014 Walking Tour “The Call of a Better Way” You are invited to take a walking tour of the historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum. This self-guided tour packet includes a brief history of Mt. Crest Abbey, a map of the mausoleum, and the personal history of significant members of Salem’s community interred within the mausoleum. Feel free to stay as long as you like. Staff members will be available in the Funeral Home to answer any questions you may have. During pre-war optimism of the early 1900s--the Progressive Era--many people believed that technology and science were advancing rapidly. This also applied to their view of burial. The modern age of the mausoleum and the “Call of a Better Way” began, even though above-ground entombment is a long-standing custom. A mausoleum is an alternative to ground burial. It offers crypts for entombment and niches for cremation. It is dry, clean and secure, and protected from the elements. Mt. Crest Abbey was built by the Portland Mausoleum Company, and its construction was completed in the spring of 1914. Mt. Crest Abbey was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30th of that year. The mausoleum is one of six similar mausoleums built by the Portland Mausoleum Company in Oregon between 1910 and 1919. The Portland Mausoleum Company went out of business in 1929--the same year that ushered in the Great Depression. Mt. Crest Abbey was designed by prominent architect Ellis Lawrence of Portland and his firm Lawrence & Holford.

McCullough in the 1920s and 1930s. His concern for aesthetic value fostered bridge designs that are unique in their architectural details and enhance their natural surroundings. Unfortunately, several ofMcCullough's bridges have deteriorated with age requiring the Oregon Department ofTransportation to devise solutions which keep these bridges safe for public use and at the same time retain their historic quality. The purpose ofthis thesis project was to develop a typological study of his bridge designs, investigate the results ofstrategies applied to maintain them, and provide an analysis ofthe extent to which they sustain the historic integrity ofstructures they were applied to.

  • HISTORICAL and GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH SOURCES for OREGON's SOUTH COAST
    HISTORICAL and GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH SOURCES for OREGON'S SOUTH COAST Prepared by Steven Greif, Coos County Historical Society (2017) (for additions or edits to this guide, please contact the Coos History Museum) INTRODUCTION The following information is intended to be a general, preliminary guide for those persons conducting research on Coos County and south coast history and genealogy. Operating hours for libraries, courthouses, and museums vary, so call ahead for the latest information. Native Americans lived on the Oregon South Coast for thousands of years establishing a culture that continues today. Starting in 1542, European explorers began sea exploration of the area. A Hudson’s Bay Fur Company explorer, Alexander McLeod (1827) and an American fur trapper, Jedediah Smith (1828) became the first Euro-Americans to explore the region by land. The wreck of the Captain Lincoln occurred on the North Spit of Coos Bay in 1852; the following year, Empire City on Coos Bay was established as the first townsite. By December 22, 1853 Coos County was formed by the Oregon territorial legislature. The county, river, and bay took their name from the native Coos Indians and first appeared in print in the Lewis and Clark journals as “Cook-koo-oose”. The Coos County Historical Society was formed in 1891. Empire City served as the county seat from its founding until 1896, when citizens voted to move the county seat to Coquille. At various times the county economy has thrived on mining (gold/coal), shipbuilding, lumbering, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. RESEARCH SOURCES for OREGON'S SOUTH COAST 1 | P a g e HERITAGE MUSEUMS There are many good museums on the South Coast.

Over 500 cubic miles of water (a rate ten times the combined flow of all the rivers of the world) thundered toward the Pacific Ocean with flood speeds of approximately 65 miles per hour. The ice dam eventually reformed and the flooding sequence may have occurred an additional 40 different times on an average of 50 year intervals.
