School Building at Pleasant View Cemetery 

This photo is from the estate of Wallace Young.  His notes at the top are as follows:

"The first lumber school building at Pleasant Hill could have been built before 1890.  Pleasant Hill between Sherwood & Wilsonville, Oregon is where the children of the pioneer Zumwalts, Bakers, Youngs and older grandchildren went to grade school and Lily Ann Graham and succeeding Graham girls taught.  Lily (Mrs. Marion Calvin Young) took this picture in 1918 when building was only still being used in bad weather for funerals at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery on the same grounds, where many of these pioneer families are buried."

I cannot verify all of the above, and I am not sure just where this building once stood, but believe it was at the eastern end (downhill side) of the cemetery.  It was gone by the 1940's.  If you have more information about it, I would love to hear about it.     Charlotte


 

An Interesting Local Photo 

This photo was taken in 1918 at the annual cherry picnic at the home of Marion and Lily Young in Wilsonville. The eight elderly gentlemen are Civil War Veterans, members of the Grand Army of the Republic.  Click on the photo for a closer look and more info.
