Entrance to Lone Oak
A nifty wrought iron arch and stair railings mark the entrance to Lone Oak Cemetery on the corner of 3rd Ave. and Fern Ridge Rd. From what I've gathered, the cemetery was started in the late 1800's by a fellow named George Duncan, along with the local Oddfellows and Masonic Lodges (source: Rootsweb.com).
There are actually two cemeteries right next to each other. On one side is Lone Oak, and the other is St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery. It has its own entrance, and one of these days I'll take a picture of it, too. Be sure to watch for that exciting event.
Tomorrow I'll post a photo of a rather unique marker in Lone Oak. I love it, and I hope you will, too.

I am guessing that the cemetaries are in Stayton. That seems appropriate somehow.
I do like to walk in cemetaries, reading the stones, imagining the lives (and deaths). I'll look forward to your post tomorrow.
Nice shot, Celine. That's a beautiful portal.
