CEMETERIES: COOPER MOUNTAIN CEMETERY, WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON USGENWEB ARCHIVES(tm) NOTICE: ************************************************ Copyright.

It sits on the south side of SW Gassner Road between SW Winslow Drive and SW Miller Hill Road. GPS coordinates are 452715N/1225220W. CONTENTS How to Read the Transcription Part 1: Index of Names Part 2: Gravestone Inscriptions Description of the Cemetery HOW TO READ THE TRANSCRIPTION The transcription is in two parts. The first is an index to all the names found in the cemetery and in the Cemetery Association database. Numbers from the first part refer to the second part, a transcription of all the text on each stone. Part 1: INDEX OF NAMES Each name has two numbers. The first gives the location of the gravestone in the cemetery, as if someone were standing at the cemetery entrance, as explained in the next paragraph. The second number gives the plot and grave numbers from the original Cooper Mountain Cemetery Association plat. The second number is followed by additional or conflicting information from the Cemetery Association database. GRAVESTONE LOCATION NUMBERS Not all burials have gravestones. Those that do are numbered by a row number and a gravestone number separated by a period (e.g., 6.8 = row 6, gravestone 8). Standing at the cemetery entrance, the rows are numbered 1 through 10 from left to right (east to west). The gravestones are numbered from front to back (north to south). So, from the entrance, grave 6.8 is in row 6 counting from the left, and stone 8 in that row counting from the front of the cemetery. A number in parentheses following the grave number, for example, 2.7(10), 2.8(10), is the Cemetery Association’s block number for the several graves that are enclosed together inside cement curbing. CEMETERY ASSOCIATION PLAT NUMBERS These numbers are different from the transcriber’s notation numbers, as they snake around the cemetery from north to south, then south to north, then north to south again. The first number indicates the block of graves (out of 36 used to date), the second (after the slash) the grave lot in the block. Additional information following this number is from the Cemetery Association database. Note: there are a few inscriptions for people who may still be living. No information is given for them beyond the text of the stone. SURNAME Given name(s) Gravestone location no.

BARTLETT APR. 1964 - AUG. 1995 DESCRIPTION OF THE CEMETERY Cooper Mountain Cemetery is located about six miles west of Beaverton in unincorporated Aloha, Washington County, Oregon. It sits near the top of Cooper Mountain at 745 feet elevation and is surrounded by a rural residential area. The site is a 0.9-acre plot on the south side of SW Gassner Road between SW Winslow Drive and SW Miller Hill Road. GPS coordinates are 452715N/1225220W. A wooden sign at the entrance reads, COOPER MOUNTAIN CEMETERY EST. 1899 The cemetery plat indicates that a church once stood in the northeast corner at the entrance to the cemetery. Rows of mature trees surround the cemetery: Douglas fir, horse chestnut and linden on the north (road) side; cypress on the west; cypress and a maple on the south; and Douglas firs, madrona and Japanese maples on the east. It lies on a deer trail that crosses Cooper Mountain from north to south, and chickadees, crows and scrub jays call out from the trees. The cemetery is maintained by the Cooper Mountain Cemetery Association, which holds a plat, burial certificates for most graves and a spreadsheet database of burials. The Association can be reached at 503-628-1866, 14930 SW Vandermost Rd., Beaverton, OR 97007. The Beaver (Beaverton, Oregon) Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution placed a stone marker at the entrance of the cemetery in 2001. A plaque on the marker reads, COOPER MOUNTAIN CEMETERY ESTABLISHED 1899 WASHINGTON COUNTY, OREGON PLAQUE ERECTED BY: BEAVER CHAPTER NATIONAL SOCIETY DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MAY 2001 The chapter registrar provided a list of gravestones in June 2003 (referred to as the old DAR list). A few discrepancies between that list, the stones and the Cemetery Association database are indicated. A founding member of the Beaver chapter is buried in the Cooper Mountain Cemetery. More information can be found at the chapter’s website, http://www.rootsweb.com/~orbcdar/cemetery.htm.
