Gideon Richardson Cemetery

Territorial Road, Lane County, Oregon

Thanks to Arline P. Cox who provided this information October 11, 2000

This cemetery is located on the old Gideon Richardson Donation Land Claim and cannot be accessed after heavy rains start as you have to drive a dirt road across a farmer's field, park your car and walk to the top of a knoll where the cemetery is located, and a person needs to obtain permission from the owner of the property.
