Visitors Gather At OlJ Cemetery Over Week End By KATHERINE CHAPMAN Mail Tribune Correspondent Hornbrook The historic Henley - Hornb-onk cemetery was Ihe mecca for- countless out-of-town visitors over the Memorial Day weft ei.d. Of the 248 persons who signed the visitors' register, the one from the farthest dis tance was Mrs. Charles Dailey Jr. from Hawaii, a relative of Mrs. William "anders. Other visitors came from points raiiRing from Calexico, Calif., to Seattle, Wash. One of the most beautiful and well-kept cemeteries in this part of the country, the old burial ground, dating back to 1854, is the final rest ing place for members of nu merous pioneer families of Old Oregon Trail days, and many of those who make an nual Memorial Day visits here are defendant "of those early day families. During Che day's activities each year, many old friend ships are renewed as the vis itors mill around and talk over the old days. For the past few years, a project of the Hornbrook Grange has been the serving of a ham dinner at the Grange half on Memorial Day, which has accomodated many of the visitors spending the day here. Some 70 dinners were served this yegr. Until about 20 years ago, the local cemetery was typical of many country cemeteries overgrown with weeds and uncared-for, except for a quick clean-up of individual graves by family members on Me morial Day. Through the efforts of Gor don Jacobs, who at that time was chairmanf the board of Siskiyou Coui ty supervisors, an almost infinitesimal tax as sessment was passed which has enabled the cemetery as sociation to provide perma nent care for the grounds. j Jacksonville Lfons Elect Officers; O.
