Mountain View Cemetery, established in 1854,

is one of the oldest cemeteries in the West.The first

known burial occurred in December 1847 for the infant

John Barclay, son of Dr. and Mrs. Forbes Barclay. 

The second oldest headstone belongs to the

                                   former Dr. William Allen who died                                                                                 June 8, 1851.

                                                                                             

Squirrels and deer make their homes in our quiet

wooded areas, and are common sights during the

spring and summer months.

 

Our Old Cemetery section is the resting place for

a number of well-known figures in early Oregon history. 

Monuments and family plots for Peter Skene Ogden,

Colonel W. L. White, L. D. C. Latourette, and

Charles Barlow stand in silent tribute. 

                   

As with all areas of Mountain View Cemetery,

visitors are welcome to stroll through this

peaceful, serene area.
