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 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 Military cemetery begun as early as 1868 at Fort Stevens. The most prominent ethnic nationalities from were Finns and Swedes who are scattered through many cemeteries and family burial sites.

AHLERS, DORTHEA A 0.01 ? 15 Nov 1915 T5N R9W S22 AKA: 1. 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

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 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. There are 16 to 20 Indian graves on the Lilli Watson Farm, 0.2 of a mile northwest of Youngs River Loop

junction on OR. Hwy. 202 near Olney. Land owner noted in Metsker Landownership Atlases 1930 and 1956. (Not shown on Olney 1949-73- 81 USGS Quad. map, but is on 1936 ODOT map.)

CLATSOP INDIANS ? ? 11 ? T6N RION 328 Located in the south part of Seaside along the west bank of the 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 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.)

COMCOMLY,S GRAVE A 0.01 ? Circa 1835 T8N R9W 38 AKA: 1. CONCOMLY Chief is said to be buried under the old Taylor House near 15th and Exchange Streets in Astoria. Originally buried near Point Ellice on the north side of the Columbia River, the date of transfer to Astoria is unknown to the compiler. The chief's skull was stolen by an English doctor and taken to Portsmouth, England, where it remained from 1836 to 1961 when it was returned to Astoria and reburied in Ilwaco Cemetery across the Interstate Bridge in 1972. (Not shown on Astoria 1948-84 USGS Quad. map.)

CRAZY VALLEY ? ? ? ? T5N R9W Located in Section 16 or 21. "Past the fish hatchery near the old C.C.C. (Civilian Conservation Corps) camp was an old cemetery" was the vague description. The fish hatchery was on U.S. Hwy. 26 on the North Fork Necanicum River between Necanicum Junction and Cannon Beach Junction. The site of the C.C.C. camp is now ocupied by an Oregon Department of Transportation maintenance station. The compiler wonders if the "old cemetery" could perhaps be the Dorthea Ahlers burial site about a mile east. See that article. (Not shown on the Necanicum Junction 1985 USGS Quad. map)

DUNKIN, GEORGE ? ? 5 1886 T7N R8W AKA: 1. INDIAN GEORGE Located in section 20 or 29, 2.5 miles east of Lex Norman's home in Olney; a 160-acre homestead in 1870, near Barth Road. George was an Indian, 7 of his dogs were shot and buried with him. (Not shown on Green Mountain 1949-73-81 USGS Quad. map.)

ELSIE B 1 2 1889 T4N R7W S5 AKA: 1. SUNNY HILL Located 0.25 of a mile from Elsie, on U.S. CEMETERY OF Hwy. 26 about halfway between Elsie and NEHALEM Jewell Junction. Halfway between Milepost 20 and Milepost 21 and on top of the ridge is the obscure driveway on the right (south) called Elsie Cemetery Road. Drive 0.3 of a mile to the cemetery which is not visible

from the highway. The visitor must approach eastbound on U.S. Hwy. 26 towards Portland because of the volume of traffic. The cemetery was incorporated 10 May 1927 and there were 94 known burials in 1992. (Elsie 1984 USGS Quad. map.)

ETERNITY AT SEA A ? 1 1980 T5N R11W 8-0 COLUNBARIUM Located on an acre-sized rock 1.2 miles off AKA: 1. TILLAMOOK shore from Tillamook Head. This lighthouse ROCK was built in 1879-81 but is no longer used as LIGHTHOUSE such: it was closed down 2 September 1957. This became privately owned in 1979 by Kron and Waid and was added to the National Register of Historic Places 9 January 1981. It has been adapted for use as a columbarium and has space for 300,000 niches. The rock is now a Federal Wildlife Refuge for seabirds and is almost entirely inaccessible for boats. Pontoon-equipped helicopter flights are made annually or on other suitable occasions. A good view of this can be had from Cape Meares lighthouse {29 May 1998} with binoculars or a spotting scope.

MASONIC Broadway with U.S. Hwy. 101 to Milepost 23.2 [SEASIDE) and then turn left (east) on Beerman Creek 3. SEASIDE Road, and go 0.5 of a mile to the cemetery on the left. Only about 5 acres is currently open. The earliest dated monument is 1909; the Masons took over the cemetery in 1913 and as of Memorial Day 1987 there were 1090 recorded burials. There is also an infant burial located just outside of the cemetery at the northeast corner near a large alder tree. {26 June 1996} (Tillamook Head 1949-73 USGS Quad. map.)

FORT ASTORIA ? ? 11 Circa 1811 T8N R1OW S8 AKA: 1. FORT GEORGE This was the first cemetery in the Pacific Northwest for burials of whites. It was a "stone's throw" from the fort itself, which was where 15th Street and Exchange intersects. A plat map published in 1834 defined the cemetery as occupying Block #120 bounded by Duane, Exchange, 16th and 17th Streets and partly under 16th Street. The cemetery was then along the Columbia River shoreline. Since then landfills have been extended into the river. Fort Astoria was established in 1811. During the British occupation between 1813 and 1818 it was known as Fort George. There are no remaining records of this cemetery which may have been in use as late as the 1850's when it was superseded by the Astoria [OLD] Cemetery, see that article. (Not shown on Astoria 1949-84 USGS Quad. map.)

FORT STEVENS (OLD] A 0.4 6 1868-1898 T8N R1OW S5 A small cemetery 165' x 104' in size was constructed 0.25 of a mile south of the post on the east side of the road on a sandy ridge. The first burial was in May of 1868. By December of 1869 the post surgeon reported that there had been 3 deaths, "all due to inebriation." In August of 1898 it was decided to move the cemetery as its site was needed for building sites. At the end of that year 20 bodies were removed to the present cemetery site. Why 20 were moved from a reported 21 graves (Aug. 1898) was not explained. From Fort Stevens, by Marshall Hanft, 1980. Oregon State Printer, page 67. See the article on U.S. Army Fort Stevens, for the later history. (Not shown on Warrenton 1953-84 USGS Quad. map.)

GRONNELL FAMILY ? ? ? 1881-1902 T4N R7W AKA: 1. GRONNEL Most likely located within Section 4. Leave U.S. Hwy. 26 at Jewell Junction at Milepost 21.8 onto the Fishhawk Falls Highway. Go only about 0.1 of a mile on that highway and turn left onto Gronnel Road before this county road passes underneath U.S. Hwy. 26. The cemetery is somewhere off of Gronnel Road (the Clatsop County Road Dept. spelling) which goes southerly along the left bank of the Nehalem River. NOTE: This site is on private property. (Not shown on Elsie 1984 USGS Quad. map.)

HAMLET A 1 2 Circa 1891 T4N R8W SE Located near Hamlet: 4 miles southeast, off of Necanicum Highway (OR. Hwy. 53). Go 3.64 miles on Hamlet Road to Hill Road; turn right (south) onto Hill Road. The cemetery is on the right, before the North Fork Nehalem River Bridge crossing 0.2 of a mile from the main road. The cemetery was incorporated in 1916. This was a Finnish/Bohemian settlement. There are many burials of the Hill/Maki family. Hill is a literal translation of the Finnish surname Maki. (Not shown on Hamlet 1984 USGS Quad. map.)

HECKARD FAMILY ? 0.3 ? 1870's T7N R9W 818 Located on the Lewis and Clark Road about 6 miles from Astoria, on tax lot 700: are the Heckard children burials. NOTE: No other information was given in the report. There

LATTIE-CLOUTRIE FAMILY A 1 11 1853 T6N R1OW S21 This bygone cemetery in Seaside was located along the east side of South Franklin Street at the jog north of Avenue 'S' and the west bank of the Necanicum River. The cemetery was established for the family and descendants of Elizabeth Lattie whose Clatsop tribal name was Sikkas. She was born about 1813 and died 13 May 1868. She married Alexandre Lattie a Scottish-born pilot for the Hudsons Bay Company. Their daughter Helen married a well-known mountain man Antoine J. Cloutrie (originally Cloutier). She died 23 May 1882. The gravesites of mother and daughter are the only ones which can possibly be located. Three more members of the family are known to be buried including William Lattie, son of Elizabeth. He died in 1900. Others are probably buried here. After this area was subdivided in 1909 some parts of the cemetery were built over and other parts abandoned. On the Elizabeth Lattie D.L.C. #37, OC #3256. (Not shown on Tillamook Head 1949-73 USGS Quad. map.)

LEWIS AND CLARK D 3 2 1897 T7N R9W 86 AKA: 1. RIVERVIEW Located approximately 7.8 miles south of Astoria and 3.1 miles south of U,S. Hwy. 101 Business Route, on Lewis and Clark Road. On the Preston W. Gillett D.L.C., OC #2942. (Olney 1949-73-81 USGS Quad. map.)

LUPATIA CREW A ? ? 3 Jan 1881 T5N R11W S1 The British bark "Lupatia" ran ashore in a storm on the night of 3 January 1881. The nearby Tillamook Rock Lighthouse was not quite completed at the time. A burial party on 10 January 1881 found two sets of bodies and buried them at or near two small coves between Tillamook Head and Bird Point in what is now Ecola State Park. The sites are dangerous to reach and probably no traces now remain. Either 10 or 12 were buried. One

McTAVISH, DONALD A 0.01 22 May 1814 T8N R9W S8 Located at the northwest corner of 15th and Exchange Streets in Astoria, immediately west of the site marking Old Fort Astoria. Donald McTavish was one of seven men who drowned when their longboat was swamped in the Columbia River. He was Chief Factor at Fort Astoria, called Fort George, at the time of the British occupation. Originally, he was buried with this marker at the Fort's burial ground. Some time during the 1870's these bones and the marker were removed to the Astoria Pioneer Cemetery. About 1904, the monument was removed and eventually was placed at 15th and Exchange Streets. In the 1970's the tombstone was once again moved: this time to the Heritage Center. But where McTavish's bones are, who knows? (Not shown on Astoria 1949-84 USGS Quad. map.)

OCEAN VIEW E 100 1 1872 T8N R1OW S28 AKA: 1. CLATSOP Located in the south part of Warrenton. Leave Fort Stevens Highway (Main Street) just south of Warrenton High School and take 18th Street up the ridge to the northwest. It is 0.28 of a mile to the main entrance to the largest cemetery in Clatsop County. Although more than 40 acres are not currently in use there have been close to 16,000 burials as of June 1996. Land for this cemetery was purchased by the city of Astoria in the early 1880's but the present caretaker reports burials on the site as early as 1872. Most earlier burials in Astoria have been reburied here. The Warrenton Pauper Cemetery is now a part of Ocean View, see that article: on the William H. Grey D.L.C., OC #4192. {25 June 1996} (Warrenton 1953-84 USGS Quad. map.)

PAUPER [WARRENTON] C 4.5 5 20 Apr 1885 T8N R1OW 821 AKA: 1. CLATSOP COUNTY This cemetery is located about 0.5 of a mile 2. COUNTY west of Main Street in Warrenton on the ridgetop and along the south line of 9th Street. It is now a part of Ocean View Cemetery but the caretaker told the compiler that the "Pauper Cemetery is not now in use." There is an interesting Article in the Winter 1982 edition of Cumtux, Vol. 3, No. 1, by Lloyd Ferrell which tells some of the history. Clatsop County purchased about 4.5 acres but only a portion was ever used. The first recorded burial was on 10 November 1885. Only 26 burials, including 2 women, were buried by 18 July 1893 when the surviving records end. There were burials for a total of about 30 years and indeed there are two death certificates for "County Cemetery" for burials on 9 January and 29 March 1915. Chinese burials were separate and were located northeast of the present Ocean View Mausoleum. The caretaker has an old map of the Pauper Cemetery with some of the burials marked in ink and some in pencil. (Not shown as a separate cemetery from Ocean View on Warrenton 1953-84 USGS Quad. map.)

RED-HEADED MAN ? ? 7 ? AKA: 1. RAMSEY, JACK A great deal has been writen about a red- headed white man (Ramsey) supposedly wrecked on shore a generation before Lewis and Clark arrived. This gentleman has been described as a Spaniard or an Englishman, the latter with the name Jack Ramsey tattooed on his arm. Whatever his nationality, he is supposed to have left descendants noted by early white visitors. In 1955, construction workers near Fort Stevens uncovered a grave identified as that of the red-headed man. Then it was covered up again. The compiler wonders if there was a store of red hair in this grave which presumably predates 1805. On this unsatisfactory note, this lost grave is consigned to future archeology.

RYAN FAMILY 7 5 7 T7N R8W Perhaps located in Section 30 or 31. The supposition is based upon the name of a Ryan
