Moro Cemetery

Compiled by Sherry (Woods) Kaseberg
Moro Cemetery, 1965 Survey with Notes

The Moro Cemetery was operated by the Moro IOOF Lodge. “Moro IOOF – MEMORANDUM. It is hereby understood and agreed by and between the trustees of the Oddfellows Cemetery Association of Moro that the price of lots in the cemetery shall be as follows: – To members of the Order of Odd Fellows, for each lot $5.00 – To non-members $5.00 – To those who had deceased friends or relatives buried in the old cemetery and removed to the Odd Fellows Cemetery $1.00. Dated at Moro, Oregon – October 30, 1895. Signed – J.M. Smith, J.B. Hosford and George N. Bolton.”

The Observer, on May 24, 1929, reported, “Moro Town Talk. The Baptist cemetery and the Odd Fellows Cemetery were joined in one ownership this week when a quit claim deed from the Baptist cemetery association was placed on record giving the title to the Odd Fellows association of this city. The management of the property intends to move the tool house from its present location to the end of the driveway, build a turn-around for autos at the end of the driveway, and enclose both properties with an iron fence. Water to be piped to all sections of the ground is also part of the new work to be done.”

The following record is based on the 1930 plat of Moro IOOF Cemetery, a copy of the 1894 original plat by Lamborn, and a field survey of all sections of the cemetery in 1965. Information from a variety of sources is incorporated in the notes for a more comprehensive view of life, death, and genealogy in Sherman County.

In an interview, Ronald Powell stated that “railroad workers were buried in the paupers’ section with wooden markers. “Nigger Nels,” who lived in a cabin behind Charley Powell’s place, SW of Moro, was buried in the pauper section at Moro. The first cemetery was behind the courthouse, and graves were moved to the Baptist cemetery (the upper section of the Moro Cemetery) and now part of the Moro Cemetery. The pauper section is the lowest section below the entrance road.” [It is not clear whether Nels, above, is the same person as Nelson Dade who is buried here.]

The City of Moro provided some history: “The dedication of the Odd Fellows Cemetery took place in 1894; then turned over to the Friendship Baptist Church in 1897; then in 1922 turned over to the Moro Odd Fellows; which in 1965 turned over to the Chris Schultz Post #71 (American Legion) which lastly was given to the City of Moro in 1981. The City of Moro Cemetery is licensed by the Oregon Mortuary & Cemetery Board (CM-0254).”

A basic alphabetized version of the 1965 field survey was published by the Genealogical Forum of Portland, OR in 1970 in Yesterday’s Roll Call.

The Baptist cemetery and the Odd Fellows Cemetery were joined in one ownership this week when a quit claim deed from the Baptist cemetery association was placed on record giving the title to the Odd Fellows association of this city. The management of the property intends to move the tool house from its present location to the end of the driveway, build a turn-around for autos at the end of the driveway, and enclose both properties with an iron fence. Water to be piped to all sections of the ground is also part of the new work to be done. – Moro Town Talk
