PIONEER GRAVES AT JACKSONVILLE GIVEN ATTENTION Dense Growth Removed From Tombstones in Old Cemetery Donation of Plants, Bulbs Requested JACKSONVILLE, April 13. 8pl) Uncovering of old graves and tomb stones In the historic Jacksonville cemetery which have been hidden for years under dense growths of vines snd foliage baa brought to light many facta concerning early southern Oregon residents snd almost forgot ten incidents. , Through efforts of Ike Coffraan, new cemetery caretaker, general cleaning of the older sections of the graveyard and beautlflcatlon of those lots not cared for by living relatives Is being undertaken. Coffman hopes to eventually clean and straighten the entire cemetery and make It as attractive as possible, he states. Starting In the I.O.O.F. section of the yard, Coffman has cleaned, re shaped and set out plants on long neglected graves. He points out that In order to carry out the program of beautlflcatlon, more suitable plants and bulba are needed and that any donations for this purpose will be greatly appreciated. Coffman states that he hopes to complete the work by Decoration day. One headboard discovered by Coff man stands above the grave of R, A. Tlbbetts, who died July 6. 1864, at the age of 33. A check of cemetery records showed that Tlbbetts was the first grandmaster of the I.O.O.F. lodge In California and was a mem ber of lodge number one st Yreka. Cal. Records further showed that the first local lodge meetings were held on Jackson creek with music pro vided by an organ which had been shipped from California to Crescent City end transported from there by mule-back. The organ may still be seen in the attic of the Jacksonville lodge hall. Another ancient tombstone held the photograph, under gtass. of Mrs. John Hockenyos, interred there. Mrs. Hockenyos hsd come to southern Oregon from Baden. Oermany, and passed away in 1873. A more dismal history surrounds the grave of George Punek, who died In 1869 at the age of 41 of black smalt box. It la related that as bis body waa carried to 'the cemetery, the cortege was enveloped In thick black smoke from tar which was burned continuously throughout the Journey and up to the moment his body was Interred, "at the stroke of midnight."
