Regarding G.A.R. Memorial. We at this cemetery know very little about this statue, other than what was printed in the newspaper, dated May 30, 1911, along with what unfolded at the event held at the time, miles out of Woodburn, its closed town. Today, the city is visible from the cemetery grounds. Thanks to historians, we know a great deal more, but much remains unknown.
