My wife is an aficionado of pioneer cemeteries and, after driving up the hill and spending a leisurely hour walking among the various sections of the well-laid out community cemetery, her verdict was, "this is the most unique and best situated cemetery I have visited!" Plenty of benches, a restroom, clear roads and paths, many shade trees and open spaces for sunny or rainy or hot or cold days. If you love history, if you want to see the various groups and civic and religious groups with their own sections, all in a peaceful setting well away from the hubbub of the town, this is the place!

On July 14, 1888, the Odd Fellows Cemetery Corporation purchased eight acres of hillside property in South Marshfield from Charles H. Merchant for the sum of $350. In 1891, the Marshfield I.O.O.F. Cemetery was officially dedicated as a public burying ground, with each member of the I.O.O.F. lodge receiving one plot, and the remainder being made available for purchase by other community members. In recognition of the cemetery’s historic importance as the resting place of many of the people who were responsible for the growth and development of the Coos Bay region in the late nineteenth century, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is the oldest extant, intact burying ground in the Coos Bay region. The cemetery is currently managed by the City of Coos Bay with the support and assistance of cemetery volunteers.

A piece of history that could easily be overlooked. But the information was very insightful. A place that offered a quiet reflection about the people who helped build the area.
