Bishop Dean H. Byrd (1992) Janice M. Healy (1952) Oregon Burial Site Guide Clatsop County Area: 873 square miles Population (1998): 35,424 County seat: Astoria, Population: 10,130 County established: 22 June 1844 Located on the south bank of the lower Columbia River where it enters the Pacific Ocean. Clatsop County was the site of the first white trading post in Oregon and therefore the earliest established cemetery. This was Fort Astoria founded in the spring of 1811 for the fur trade. It was occupied by the British in the fall of I 813 during the War of 1812 and was renamed Fort George. Returned to the Americans in 1818 and once again called Fort Astoria, the name was gradually transferred to a small civilian settlement as Astoria. The earliest burials after 1811 and those dating from the 1850's to about 1878 are now built over. Eventually most of Astoria's known burials were transferred to Ocean View which was established in 1872. The Clatsop Plains Pioneer Cemetery was begun in 1846 and is the earliest organized cemetery outside of Astoria. By the 1870's there were at least four other organized cemeteries. There were many family burial sites and still some Indian burials sites and a United States Military cemetery begun as early as 1868 at Fort Stevens. The most prominent ethnic nationalities from Europe were Finns and Swedes who are scattered through many cemeteries and family burial sites. Clatsop Plains Pioneer Dean H.

NECANICUM The grave site is located about 1.5 miles POST OFFICE west of Necanicum Junction along the right (north) side of U.S. Hwy. 26 and just before the bridge over Little Humbug Creek. This is about 15 miles south and east of Seaside. She and her huband Herman Ahlers (1859-1944) were German immigrants who settled here in 1886. The Ahlers house served as a post office from 1896-1916 and was variously known as Ahlers, Push and lastly Necanicum. (Not shown on Necanicun Junction 1985 USGS Quad. map.) ASTORIA [OLD] ? 9 Circa 1850 T8N R9W S8 AKA: 1. CATHOLIC This was the second cemetery used in Astoria [ASTORIA] in the early 1850's; Fort Astoria Cemetery 2. POTTERS FIELD being the first. This site was formally 3. SHIVELY donated about March 1865 by John M. Shively FAMILY but was used as much as a decade previously. Shively donated to the city, Block #55 (now Block #255) bounded by Irving and Jerome Streets and 14th and 15th Streets. Most burials seem to have been around 14th and Irving. The cemetery was also known as Catholic because the church was near by. Located on the John Shively D.L.C., OC #1052. Around 1878 removals were begun to rebury the graves farther up hill to Hillside Cemetery, now Astoria Pioneer. See the article on the latter. (Not shown on Astoria 1949-84 USGS Quad. map.) ASTORIA PIONEER D 5 2 1865-1903 T8N R9W S17 AKA: 1. CITY Located at the intersection of 15th and 2. HILLSIDE Niagara Streets in the city of Astoria: 3. HILLTOP Block #93 of the Shively Addition. The city 4. PIONEER maintains this old cemetery as a park. There [ASTORIA] is a historical marker which records some of the history. It is now signed as Astoria Pioneer but was most often referred to as Hillside Cemetery in earlier times. The cemetery was deeded on 12 April 1865, the third of the city cemeteries. Around 1878 the graves from the Astoria [OLD] Cemetery were reburied here. In 1897 a city ordinance forbade any more burials within the city limits and ordered reburials to what is now 117 Oregon Burial Site Guide Clatsop County Name of Cemetery and also known as I Number of burials I Acres Condition I Date started or nudist known burial I Townshp I Range I Section Ocean View Cemetery in Warrenton. Burials continued in Hillside until 1903 and in 1904 the removals to Ocean View were carried out. More than 700 burials had been made in Hillside. There are still some old monuments remaining in Astoria Pioneer Park and pre- dating the establishment of this cemetery. This is on the John Shively D.L.C., OC #1052. {9 May 1992} (Not shown as a cemetery on the Astoria 1949-84 USGS Quad. Map.) BAYNEY CREEK A 0.01 5 Circa 1900 T6N R9W AKA: 1. BARNEY CREEK Perhaps found in Section 2. A logger was killed during a tree-felling accident and was buried nearby with a wooden marker and picket fence. It is near a concrete bridge over Bayney Creek on the Youngs River Mainline Road. This road follows the left (west) bank of Youngs River between Saddle Mountain Road and Youngs River Loop. (Not shown on Olney 1949-73-81 USGS Quad. map.) BITTERLING FAMILY A 7 6 1887-1902 T7N RlOW S24 The homestead and burial site was located in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 24. Julius Bitterling was a German immigrant and Anna Louise Ottinger a Swiss immigrant who met in Astoria where both were employed in a restaurant. After marriage they settled in 1875 on this homestead near the bygone settlement of Melville. Louise was born in 1851 and died 23 August 1887 giving birth to their sixth child. Julius was born in 1842 and died 28 November 1902. The graves have been removed to Clatsup Plains Pioneer Cemetery. The date for Julius on the monument is incorrect. (Not shown on Gearhart 1949-73 or Olney 1949-73-81 USGS Quad. maps.) CASEY FAMILY, ROSE A 7 5 ? T7N R9W 7 These could be located on Section 11 or 14, probably on Section 11.

T6N RION 328 Located in the south part of Seaside along the west bank of the Necanicum River from the northwest end of the Avenue 'U' Bridge. The burial ground was about 100 feet wide and extended northerly several hundred feet to a point about east of the old Seaside Hospital, now the School Administration building. The area was noted as still being used as late as 1852-1860 and probably later than that. It was mostly of canoe burials. Any interments were shallow because this was on an old beach line and large boulders underlay the ground surface. Some graves were later marked with wooden crosses. After the area was subdivided in 1909 much of the cemetery was covered over: on Elizabeth Lattie D.L.C. #37, OC #3256. (Not shown on Tillamook Head 1949- 73 USGS Quad. map.) CLATSOP PLAINS PIONEER C 2 2 1846-1957 T7N R1OW 34 AKA: 1. ASTORIA Access to the cemetery is from U.S. Hwy. 101 South of Astoria and Warrenton. Take the road to the right (west) marked by the sign for Camp Rilea, Oregon National Guard. Almost immediately after turning off of U.S. Hwy. 101 is the the driveway to the left (south) to the Clatsop Plains Pioneer Presbyterian Church. Parking is limited to the church parking lot but you are free to enter the cemetery on foot. Five acres were deeded to the church in 1851, 2.5 extra acres deeded in 1888 for additional cemetery use, but only about 2 acres are enclosed by the fence. There are 245 known burials (20 November 1975) but undoubtedly more have been interred since then; on the Robert Morrison D.L.C., OC #720. {25 June 1996} (Gearhart 1949-73 USGS Quad. map.) 119 Oregon Burial Site Guide Clatsop County Name of Cemetery and aim known as I Number of burials I Acres I Condition I Date started or eeriest known burial I Tna‘aahP bflge I Stadion COMCOMLY,S GRAVE A 0.01 ?

    Fort Clatsop By Unknown This photo shows a replica of Fort Clatsop, the modest structure in which the Corps of Discovery spent the winter of 1805-1806. Probably built of fir and spruce logs, the fort measured only fifty feet by fifty feet, not a lot of space for more than thirty people. Nevertheless, it served its purpose well, offering Expedition members shelter from the incessant rains of the coast and giving them security against the Native peoples in the area. Although the Corps named the fort after the local Indians, they did not fully trust either the Clatsop or the related Chinook people, and kept both at arms length throughout their stay on the coast. The time at Fort Clatsop was well spent by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. The captains caught up on their journal entries and worked on maps of the territory they had traversed since leaving St. Louis in May 1804. Many of the captains’ most important observations about the natural history and Native cultures of the Columbia River region date from this period. Other Expedition members hunted the abundant elk in the area, stood guard over the fort, prepared animal hides, or boiled seawater to make salt, but mostly they bided their time, eagerly anticipating returning east at the first sign of spring. The Corps set off in late March 1806, leaving the fort to Coboway, headman of the Clatsop. In a 1901 letter to writer Eva Emery Dye, a pioneer by the name of Joe Dobbins noted that the remains of Fort Clatsop were still evident in the 1850s, but “not a vestige of the fort was to be seen” when he visited Clatsop Plains in the summer of 1886.

The assessment was prepared under the requirements and guidance of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a detailed Source Water Assessment Plan developed by a statewide citizen's advisory committee here in Oregon over the past two years. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon Health Division (OHD) are conducting the assessments for all public water systems in Oregon. The purpose is to provide information so that the public water system staff/operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water. As you know, the 1996 Amendments to the SafeDrinking Water Act requires Consumer ConfidenceReports (CCR) by community water systems. CCRs include information about the quality of the drinking water, the source of the drinking water, and a summary of the source water assessment.

  • Oregon Silverspot Recovery Plan
    PART I INTRODUCTION Overview The Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta) is a small, darkly marked coastal subspecies of the Zerene fritillary, a widespread butterfly species in montane western North America. The historical range of the subspecies extends from Westport, Grays Harbor County, Washington, south to Del Norte County, California. Within its range, the butterfly is known to have been extirpated from at least 11 colonies (2 in Washington, 8 in Oregon, and 1 in California). We, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, listed the Oregon silverspot butterfly was listed as a threatened species with critical habitat in 1980 (USDI 1980; 45 FR 44935). We completed a recovery plan for this species in 1982 (USDI 1982). The species recovery priority number is 3, indicating a high degree of threat and high recovery potential (USDI 1983; 48 FR 43098). At the time of listing, the only viable population known was at Rock Creek-Big Creek in Lane County, Oregon, and was managed by the U.S. Forest Service (Siuslaw National Forest). The Siuslaw National Forest developed an implementation plan (Clady and Parsons 1984) to guide management of the species at Rock Creek-Big Creek and Mount Hebo (Mt. Hebo) in Tillamook County, Oregon. Additional Oregon silverspot butterfly populations were discovered at Cascade Head, Bray Point, and Clatsop Plains in Oregon, on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington, and in Del Norte County in California. The probability of survival of four populations has been increased by management efforts of the Siuslaw National Forest and The Nature Conservancy, however, some threats to the species remain at all of the sites.

Its inspiration came from Carlos Schwantes historical survey, The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History which provides a glimpse of national events in American history through a regional approach. David Peterson Del Mar’s Oregon Promise: An Interpretive History has a similar approach as Schwantes, it is a reflective social and cultural history of the state’s diversity.
