Grass Valley Cemetery 1965 Survey with Notes.

J.B. Goit surveyed the IOOF Cemetery in 1897 and E.F. Sharp surveyed it in 1904. A warranty deed, R.L. Campbell et al, Trustee, from Oliver P. King, et us, was recorded in Deed Book E, page 66, Sherman County Courthouse 13 September 1897 and signed by Oliver P. King and Addie King, witnessed by C.R. Rollins and C.W. Moore, in consideration of $1 paid by R.L. Campbell, J.D. Wilcox & J.H. Smith, Trustees of Grass Valley Lodge #131, IOOF, Grass Valley to Oliver P. and Addie King of Grass Valley: six acres in the SE ¼ of Section 22, T2S, R16E, for cemetery purposes. The conveyance is given for purpose of correcting an error in a deed dated July 10, 1897 and recorded in Deed Book D, page 617. The Grass Valley Lodge #131 – Willard Barnett, Marcus Eslinger & Rodney Rolfe, officers, signed articles of incorporation to provide for the care, maintenance and improvements of the Grass Valley IOOF Cemetery. Graves from the King ranch were removed to the Grass Valley IOOF Cemetery, including white granite markers.

Apparently 16 blocks were originally platted for the cemetery, with a grid of 18 lots each. Through changes in fencing over the years, the cemetery now includes Blocks 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, part of 15 and part of 16. See The USGenWeb Archives Project – Oregon.
