TERRELL CEMETERY

This cemetery may have been north of Mehama on Fern Ridge Road and was probably
used only for County burials.   G. P. Terrell, a County Judge, had a store at
Mehama and also owned land in that area.  However, neither my father or his
younger brother, both of whom lived at Mehama from childhood to maturity [my
uncle lived there until his recent death] recall a cemetery in the Mehama area.

If the burials were County burials, there may have been no markers ever placed
at the burial sites and as such the knowledge of these burials may not have been
known by very many people.  The following list of burials was taken from the
RIGDON Funeral Home (at Salem) records of early burials.  These only give the
deceased's name, date of death, age (when known) and who ordered the service.


The burials, as listed, are:

MORTON, Frank, died 29 Aug 1900, age 32 yrs, service ordered by Marion County.

SWANSON, A. P., died 06 Dec 1900, age 66 yrs, service ordered by Judge Scott.

YOUNG, J. W., died 13 Feb 1901, age 70 yrs, service ordered by Marion County.

WALKER, D. W., died 07 Jan 1902, age 53 yrs, service ordered by Marion County.

SMITH, Chas., died 07 Feb 1903, age (blank), service ordered by Marion County.
