Guide to Milwaukie Pioneer Cemetery Lists:
The burial list is “our best guess” as to completeness and accuracy. We
have used several lists prepared by largely unknown sources to compile as
complete information as possible. When information differs, and we have several
sources, we have chosen to use authority/heirarchy in the following manner:
lists provided by whatever source available;
list with the largest degree of overall accuracy;
any available permits, receipts or other documentation;
headstones (after all they are “carved in stone”);
family information as provided, if known to be “for sure”.
List Key: Each list uses the same key
Under Notes column: includes misc. info. and the following—
“perm”—a burial permit in file. (Permit numbers appear to have no system,
but have been included where found, just in case some sort of tracking system
shows up in the future.)
“perm?”—a burial permit may have existed at some time. We do not have it.
“rcpt”—a burial plot digging receipt in file.
“CD”—certificate of death, Board of Health, Oregon or other. When
the “perm” or “rcpt” entry is followed by a “letter”—the undertaker/funeral home
(see key below) which may have more information, if their records can be found.
NOTE: When a cause of death is shown, it comes from the burial permit,
and is only shown if there may be an old newspaper article or other that could
contain further information. We have shown babies w/ “stillborn” or “premat” in
order to confirm age.
“GAR” (Grand Army of the Republic) list—this individual appeared on a
list drafted by someone showing burials of individuals who served in the Civil
War—it appears that there may be possibly 1 or
2 CSA (Confederate States of America) soldiers included on this list
also.
“PM”—name appears on grave plot maps drawn in the 1960’s and added to as
time went by.
“WOW”—Woodmen of the World headstones.
“W”— “Waverly Cemetery” list published Fall, 1963, in Newsletter of the
Mt. Hood Trackers Genealogical Group, list is incomplete, has many errors and
the source is unknown.
“D”—appeared on the DAR list, see headstone info. below.
“B”—family info contained in latest edition of “Milwaukie Pioneer
Cemetery Comes To Life”
Under the “hdstn. found” column:
“X” — we have found and verified an existing headstone since 2003.
“X-33” —there may have been a headstone in 1933 (info. from a list done
by the DAR sometime in 1933 and added to at a later date—very inaccurate
list—may have been of wood?)
“X+33” —this grave appeared on the DAR list above and still has an
existing marker.
“*” &/or “sons”—this person appears on the list loaned to us from the
American Legion (*) or Sons of Civil War Vets (sons). The Legion list
purportedly came from some sort of county records and has a fair degree of
accuracy (“P-79 county records” written on the list??).
Under date/records col: year of death first—actual
death or burial date if known—# of yrs. w/+ means mons, wks. & days shown
somewhere (headstone, permit or list).<br style=" font-style: normal;

General information about the burial lists:
In 2007-2009, the late Madalaine Bohl, Director of Milwaukie Museum and
Cemetery Trustee and Dolly Macken-Hambright, Trustee and sec/treas of the
Pioneer Cemetery Assoc. spent 3 summers at the cemetery, photographing and
transcribing all of the markers then found at the cemetery.
The winters of those years were spent collating the information from all of the
sources then on hand, and it is felt that the best and most complete record of
those buried at Milwaukie Pioneer is encompassed by the list in this file.
The data base used allowed for rearranging information along different
perimeters, which is why there are 3 lists, containing the same information, in
this file.
There are still copies of old, inaccurate, out-of-date lists floating around in
records here and there, but none of them will be as valuable for research as
these lists and none will be as accurate as we have tried to make this list.
Should the original burial book surface someday... it will be interesting to
compare notes and see how one differs from the other.
