Looking at the above photo of a monument in rather poor condition it is hard to tell what it says. I took the photo of this monument on a recent trip to the cemetery on a whim. About the only thing I could easily read is that this person died in Oct. 1906, they were 60 some years old and 12 days, and they are at rest. I figured I should be able to find someone in the database who died in Oct. 1906 so I searched the spreadsheet and found one person: Eliza Fenton Plummer. you can now make out her name at the top Eliza Fenton, probably the words "wife of" and an 'H C'. The surname is still illegible, but there does appear to be an 'E' towards the end of the name. The date of death can be surmised as '28'. Eliza Fenton Plummer is buried near her husband H C Plummer!Having looked through Funeral Notices printed in the Oregonian, I've learned there's a pattern in when a Funeral Notice is printed after a person's death; and that is usually two days. But for some reason I went to the Multnomah County Library's on-line files of the Oregonian for Oct 31, 1906 to check if I could find Eliza Fenton Plummer's Funeral Notice. To my disappointment it wasn't there. However, there was a Funeral Notice for a Frank Crupy who was being buried at Multnomah Cemetery. I went back to the data base to find a Crupy being buried there and found only one person with that surname. The only information I found in the cemetery database was for a "Mr. Crupy" who is buried in Section A, Lot 17, grave nr 1. At least now we now have a name for Mr. Crupy and we now know when he died, 104 years ago. There is no marker at A, 17, 1 commemorating Mr. Crupy.
