While working on a genealogy presentation for our Elders Quorum, I ended up researching the name of one of my ancestors, John Lippert.

I found him in a census from Roy Oregon in 1820, which lists his age as 63 and having been born in 1857. However, a search of cemeteries near Roy Oregon (beginning with the Catholic Cemetery) found he was buried at the Union Point Cemetery in Banks.
I'm enclosing some snapshots of the graves that were located there, however, there's a discrepancy between the grave and the 1920 census as his grave has him born in 1855.

| the mapping of the cemetery - there is a 3 ring binder with names that correlates to the map |
The rest of these are names I haven't had a chance to verify.
