In the process of completing the photo survey of Block D, Mike Dalton took this photo. Mike is meticulous when it comes to documentation of burials, for which we are grateful. The United State was just 34 years old when Henry Huxley was born in 1810. Lewis & Clark had just returned home from their trek to the Pacific Ocean; George III was the monarch of Great Britain. James Madison was the U.S. President.
As far as we know, Mr. Huxley is the cemetery elder, having been born before anyone else who currently resides in Multnomah Park. We hope to find some interesting facts about him and post it to the blog.
