PORTLAND EVERGREEN CEMETERY
Dates are for deaths from the actual cemetery books unless noted otherwise
* Denotes ADDED data from various sources; Use as a guide ONLY
The book from
about 1919- 1930 gives death date or burial dates and lot no only no
ages, I have done my best to find approx ages from census and other
data; Several Surnames are mis-spelled in these records also ex; COVEY
instead of the correct CONEY an d in some years the lot number is not
noted;
The burials
from `1807 to 1911 are in different books and I do not yet have access
to these, but have added what I could find from that period of the
earliest settlers to Portland
