*  Pioneer Graveyard

This general area was used by early settlers and members of the nearby congregational
church (United Church of Christ) as a burying ground starting in the 1840’s.  Many of
the remains - including Rev. Harvey Clark (1807-1858), a Pacific University founder - 
were moved to Forest Grove’s Mt View Memorial Gardens in the 1870’s.  According to 
available information those still remaining here include:

John Kimzey (Kimsey) 			1814 - 1849
Henry Naylor				DIED - 1848
Philomen Lee				1803 - 1851
Elizabeth Lee				DIED - 1858

Dedicated during the Kimsey Family Reunion
