Burials Under a Tree
Damn and damn again....
Terrebonne Pioneer Cemetery has some very old and very beautiful pine/fir (not sure) trees in it. While it looks cool and comfortable under those old trees and a charming place for a headstone, what the pitch does to the gravestones is sad, sad, sad.
I have gingerly been picking off the large bits of pitch and dislodging the stuck pine needles before photographing. Very messy.
Today I was wearing a brand new shirt ---- and managed to get pitch all over it. I will try the ice cube trick and the SHOUT, but.... Yes, it's in very obvious places.
Moral of the story --- you chose:
1. Don't wear new clothes to the cemetery.
2. Don't clean up graves to photograph.
3. Don't bury your loved ones under trees that are pitchy or leafy.
Update: Ice cubes and patient scraping followed by SHOUT worked again - always amazes me when it does!

Terrebonne Pioneer Cemetery

about 1 1/2 miles east of the town of Terrebonne, which is just north of Redmond and Bend,
on B Street, which becomes NE Smith Rocks Way just before NE 17th Street.

The Terrebonne Pioneer Cemetery was established on January 28, 1919 when John M. Perry and Lola Mae Perry deeded their land for an I. O. O. F. Cemetery (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). Lola Mae's son, from a previous marriage, had died and needed a place of burial. In the early years the grounds were cared for by the Odd Fellows, the Rebekahs, and, in 1950, the Terrebonne Pioneer Ladies Club. They found the cemetery sandy and overgrown. They cleaned it up, planted shrubs and grass and hired a gardener to water and maintain the grounds. In 1998, Autumn Funerals took over the administration of the Cemetery and a trust was set up to care for it permanently. The internments range from quite old to very recent. The current caretaker goes out of his way to preserve items left at the gravestones and maintain the beautiful and peaceful atmosphere.
I am currently working on a complete and up to date transcription on the cemetery.

Cemetery Transcription ~ Getting Started
Starting a cemetery transcription seems to also involve a few false starts....
Enthusiasm bounds forth prior to logic setting in.
Where do you start?
How do you keep track of what you are doing?
What information should you collect?
Who are you collecting for?
And, could you please set a schedule for the sprinklers?!
I found the Oregon Gravestones project and thought, what a good thing for me to do - to get me out of the house.... thinking I would be working locally, I signed up! Then, I was told someone else was doing the cemetery I was planning on. It's not like there is only one cemetery around - and that goes for everywhere. I thought, I'll do the old Pioneer cemetery in Terrebonne.
It's funny, you begin with a certain perception and it all gets stopped when you realize that nothing is as you thought it would be!
First, I thought it would take no time at all to whip through this small cemetery - HA! Since I am also taking pictures, this is far more time consuming than I ever dreamed. I didn't start in a terribly logical manner either - unusual for me and proving that I didn't really know what to expect. Wandering through and reading headstones was far different than recording information, cleaning the headstone and taking pictures. So far, a good day's work is 50 stones.
Then, I come home, enter the information on the transcription list - upload the photos, crop and re-size them - check for obituaries online - enter the information and download the photos to the data bases I am working with. HOURS!
I'm generating a lot of paper. I don't much like that, but I need the paper until it is in the data bases.
The thing I did expect was how some gravestones just reach out to you and say - don't you wish you knew more about me? And, for the most part, one can only imagine!
