It was another day of cemetery hunting. We found two in the Marcola, Oregon area. One is called Valley View Cemetery. That one was not very old and my camera wasn't working anyway. The funny thing about it is we found a geocache we weren't even looking for.
The second cemetery we found is Camp Creek Cemetery which was started in 1850. I got my camera working finally and here are a few pics. It is still being used and looks well cared for.
I thought the texture on the stone here was interesting.
Sarah Strange, died Feb. 3, 1897. I about fell over when I saw this one. That's the same name I used for a character in a short story I wrote. It was pretty weird seeing it on a tombstone.
Here rests a Woodman of the World
The Woodman of the World Hall (WOW Hall) still stands in downtown Eugene, now used as a community music venue.
Just interesting color contrast
