Pioneer Cemetery

This is one of the oldest pioneer cemeteries in the state of Oregon. The first burial took place in 1846.

I’ve been in cemeteries in which I felt an overpowering sense of grief but today in this tiny, hidden, mossy place… filled with bird calls and dappled sunlight, I felt only peace.

This message was crudely cut and faint with age but when you remember the ‘other eyes’ that read it so long ago…and were hopefully comforted, it still touches the heart.

“Weep not mother and children for me…For I am in Glory waiting for thee.”
