JORY FAMILY CEMETERY




               

          

As with many pioneer cemeteries, the Jory Family Cemetery has endured periods of neglect and controversy. In 1964 the land the cemetery is located on reverted back to Marion County due to tax foreclosure. In later years it was adopted by residents of the
Rosedale area who cleaned it up and maintained it.  An article in the local Oregon Statesman newspaper documented their efforts.   In 1992 it came to the attention of some Jory descendants that the land had been put up for sale and that 1.39 acres of the 1.52
was to be used for home development.  It was the beginning of a 12 year long process to get the cemetery registered as a pioneer cemetery and to regain custody of the property.  As of 2004, the Jory Family Association  regained ownership and began to
restore and maintain the cemetery.  A search was done to identify burials, headstones were repaired and a few new headstones were set to mark the unmarked graves.For further information visit the Jory Family web site.

The cemetery is located down in a small canyon below Cole Road on what was once James Jory Sr.'s donation land claim in Sec. 29 of T8S, R3W.  The earliest burial is that of Elizabeth Jory Fenn, a daughter of James Jory Sr.   An initial listing for the cemetery
was done by Mark Poulin and Addie Dyal Rickey and published in the local Willamette Valley Genealogy quarterly, Beaver Briefs XIV #4.  Since that time much new information has been discovered.  The following listing is information as it is known today.  
Questions regarding the cemetery and the burials within in it can be directed to Jack Jory.   Jory Genealogy questions can be directed to Cindy Allen. The website is maintained by Stephenie Flora.  Headstone photos were provided by Cindy Allen.and Stephenie Flora

Off Jory Hill Road, under an oak tree (only one in the field) a burial was made in 1862.  This land belonged to the Jory family and has now been made into a county park.  Ella Editha Jory daughter of William Jory and Jane Eliza Moore
(grandparents of Victor JORY) died on the 31 August 1862 at the age of 4 years and 6 months.  She was first buried here and then reburied in the I.O.O.F (Salem Pioneer) Cemetery. See: Oregon Statesman, September 15, 1862 for notice of the death.

In 2009 while clearing out locust trees in the cemetery Cindy Allen found the actual grave of Elizabeth Jory Fenn.  Howard Jory originally put up a grave marker in the cemetery for Elizabeth, but at that
time he did not  now the actual place of her burial.  During the 2009 cleaning a footstone was found buried under the dirt near the fence line on the west side.  It is not near the other stones. Bev Koutny had been told by
an older Jory relative that Elizabeth was not buried in the rows that now have markers so it would appear her original grave has been located.

Thomas Guier
b.
d.
Thomas Guier's burial sitte is unaccounted for, but we have been told the neighbors were buried in a separate area from the Jorys. I put Thomas Guier down 
on the plaque. He had funeral home records stating that he was buried in the Rosedale cemetery. The Rosedale Pioneer Cemetery was not even started at the time he died – 1894.  He was the father – in – law 
to John Oliver Laskey. John is the grandson of John Hicks Jory.  So he and John Fabian are the only unmarked ones that we know of without gravestones. [Cindy Allen]

   When he reached Oregon he came direct to what is now Marion County and settled on a donation land claim south of Salem, at present known as

Grant me this day
that I no sorrow
bring to any
human heart
or living thing.
Help me to scatter
sunshine every
hour and manifest
Thy love
Thy truth
Thy power.

  d. 25 Mar 1937son of James Jr. and Sarah (Budd) Jory

He never married.  A stone was not placed at his gravesite at the time of burial and was added in recent years.  

He was also a historian of sorts and wrote a letter telling the story of Battlecreek in the "Ladd & Bush Quarterly" of April 1915.

     "JOHN W. JORY, who resides seven miles southwest of Salem, on the Jefferson road, was born December 15, 1850, on the farm on which he now lives, the son of James and Sarah Ann (Budd) Jory. The father was a native of 
Cornwall. England, born June 9, 1820, and came to America with his father in 1830. locating near St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada. In 1847 he came to Oregon, settling at Salem, where he resided until 1849, when he went to California to mine
gold. There he was reasonably successful but remained only one year, after which he retunred to Oregon and located on a donation land claim of Six hundred and forty acres, which is the farm where John W, Jory, of this review, now lives. At first he
built a log house with a clapboard roof and, having cleared and cultivated the land, he erected in about I860 a frame house and a barn. Before the Civil war James Jory gave his support to the democrat party but the righteousness of the Union cause led
him in 1861 into the ranks of the republicans.  In 1890 he became dissatisfied with the republican principles as they were then interpreted and joined the populist movement, while yet later in life he turn. to the siocialist cause, believing thai the platform
and measures of that party would bring about the most disirable beneficent for the great mass of people and humanity at large. He was a public spirited man. held many local offices and gave much of his time to the cause of education, a great 
organizer of school districts.  He passed away on December 10, 1905, highly esteemed by friends and respected by antagonists for his absolute faithfulness and fearlessness in expressing and defending his convictions.  The mother was born in Michigan 
December 31, 1826.  She was married in Illinois in 1846 and is still residing at her home place, having now reached the age eighty-six years. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, to which faith the father also adhered. In their family
were eleven children: Phoebe A., who resides at home: T.C. who is a teacher in the schools of Dundee, Oregon; John W., the subject of this review; Mary J., who is the wife of F. R. Reynolds of Marion county, Oregon; Elizabeth C., who married Rev.
J. Swayne of  Centralia, Washington; Martha K.. who resides with her mother; Sarah P., who died at the age of two and one-half years; Henry D., an editor of North Yakima, Washington; Arthur B., deceased;  L. May, at home; and Percy A. who is deceased.
All of the members oi the family are well educated and four of the sisters are graduates of the Willamette University.
     John W. Jory, after completing his course in the district schools, attended the Willamette University for four years after which he returned to the farm and has been connected with the home state ever since except a short time in 1880 which he spent
in eastern Oregon.   The home place which he operates, contains in one undivided tract, two hundred and seventy-five acres which belong to the heirs. In all he manages over four hundred acres, on which he principally is raising grain and blooded stock.
     Mr. Jory gives his political support to the socialist party, and he keeps well Informed on the questions and issues of the day. He has held local school offices and has been a great help in the advancement of the welfare of his community He is a
member of the Methodist Epicopal church, and his upright and honorable life has gained for him the high regard in which he is universally held." [Centennial History of Oregon by Joseph Gaston Vol II p.990-991]
