Steps Toward Municipalizing Uto
Grounds Llvermore and 8tcwart
Are the Surviving Members of tlie
Old Board of Trustees Nothing
Can Ue Done at TSIe Time Toward
Securing (lie- Howard Tract and
Walter's Island for a Park.
Legal advice regarding the poswlble
disposition of the aid cemetery across
the river Is now being sought by
Messrs. Llvermore and Btewart, the
surviving trustees of the' Cemetery as
sociation, and when the -same has been
secured it Is the intention of those
men to take action towards improving
the grounds
This morning Mr. Llvermore stated
that he expected an opinion from his
attorney. Judge Fee. within a few
days, and that when the legal rights
In the matter are learned, he will be
favorable to the trustees taking action
towards removing the graves and
making the place Into a public park.
Also Mr. Stewart was likewise found
to be In favor of such being done. To
the East Oregonlan this morning he
said:
"When the old cemetery was estab
iimjru, my lamer, km Btewart. sur
veyed the grounds and laid off tbe
cemetery, the land being deeded to
trie .trustees by Mr Haley. In the
deed Mr. Marshal, Mr. Llvermore and
myself were named as trustees, ano
the provision was made that In case
one should die the remaining two
should appoint a successor upon the
board. This hns not been done since
Mr. Marshall's death, as we have let
the matter go. However, I am In fa
vor of appointing third man on the
board, and if we can legally do so. to
give the land to the city s.s a public
park, provided the city will agree to
remove the bodies to the new cemetery
and properly Improve the grounds.
Also, I would like to see a monument
erected upon the ground in honor of
those who were iformerly .burled
there."
Should it be necessary for one or
more graves to be left In order to hold
the grounds and to .prevent H. F.
Johnson's quit claim deed from be
coming good, Mr. Stewart Is willing
to leave those of his mother and
brother, now burled there, and also
to have his father's remains removed
from the cemetery at Pilot Rook and
placed with them. It was his father's
wish for many years to be burled In
the old cemetery, but he finally con
sented to different arrangements when
burials were stopped and the old
(Crave yard allowed to fall Into ruins
While Mr. Stewart does not know
whan can be done In the imnttcr until
a legal opinion Is secured, he realises
that the ground Is no longer suitable
for a cemetery, and believes that the
bodies should be rrmoved to Olney
eemetery, where they may to cared
for. However, he Is strongly .opposed
to allowing the land to full Into pri
vate hands and will not allow such
under .any circumstances should he
be able to prevent. Ho says that some
time ago he was approached by H. F.
Johnson In the matter, but that he
stoutly refused to concur In allswlng
the cemetery lo be declared a nutseiico
and all the b idles removed so as to
make the Johnson quit claim good.
Regarding the proposition of secur
ing the Howard tract tlotpz the Wal
ter's mill race and also Walter's Island
for park purposes, It Is apparently Im
possible to do anything, as those back
ef the deal say thnt satisfactory ar
rangements cannot be made with Mr.
