Jackson County OR Archives Cemeteries.....Griffin Creek - Complete Survey ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/or/orfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Darlene Casteel darlene@thecasteels.net February 24, 2007, 6:44 pm Abstracted By: Darlene Casteel The cemetery occupies a portion of Joseph Franklin Griffin's Oregon Donation Land Claim. It is accessed through private property. From South Stage Road in Medford, go south on Griffin Creek Road about 1.7 miles to Burrell Rd. on your right. Go about .2 mile up the road to the private property gate on the right. The owner is very accommodating to visitors, but be sure and respect his land as you travel through to the cemetery at the end of his driveway. Sign on the gate reads 'OLD GRIFFIN CR CEMETERY' There are many graves in this cemetery without markers or markers that are no longer readable. Many of those names are included in the book 'Griffin Creek Cemetary', ISBN 1- 56768-056-9, by Ruby Lacy and Lida Childers, Copyright 1995. These two ladies contributed a wealth of research data to the records of Jackson county, and are both now deceased. I have permission from Virgil Lacy, son of Ruby, to post that information on this web page. Names with an (*) are taken from the book.
