South of the bridge in Newport, Oregon lies the South Beach cemetery. This cemetery has suffered severely from neglect and vandalism, and is slowly turning back into forest. Before it disappears completely, I wanted to record what I could for this cemetery. I have gathered here all persons currently known or suspected to be buried here, plus some members of their family (that I could find). See http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/or/lincoln/cemeteries/s-beach-cem.txt for names and transcriptions.

    History of Benton County, Oregon; D. D. Fagan, 1885 pp. 485-486:

    "The value of the oyster trade at Yaquina bay has been already adverted to, but as it was suffering from a depletion of the beds it became necessary in the month of March, 1869, for the oystermen to form themselves into a protective association for the better preservation of the beds. As a means to securing greater benefits to the public the following officers and members were enrolled to carry out the purposes of the association: Newton Pool, President; Joseph B. Lewis, Secretary; William Caffery, Treasurer; Norman McClellan, Charles G. Hagmer, William H. Anderson, Christian Haker, John E. Ford, W. Baker, Celestin Jagnan, R. Starkey, James Brown, Thomas Ferr."
