Mountain View Cemetery, established in 1854, is one of the oldest cemeteries in the West.The first known burial occurred in 
December 1847 for the infant John Barclay, son of Dr. and Mrs. Forbes Barclay. The second oldest headstone belongs to the former Dr. William Allen who died June 8, 1851.
Our Old Cemetery section is the resting place for a number of well-known figures in early Oregon history. Monuments and family plots for Peter Skene Ogden, Colonel W. L. White, L. D. C. Latourette, and Charles Barlow stand in silent tribute.
Squirrels and deer make their homes in our quiet wooded areas, and are common sights during the spring and summer months. As with all areas of Mountain View Cemetery, visitors are welcome to stroll through this peaceful, serene area.
