It’s Halloween, so let’s visit a cemetery! Look out for ghosts, maybe even zombies. We will be walking a loop within the Gillespie neighborhood, including the Gillespie Cemetery. It holds graves named for many streets, schools, and parks in Eugene, familiar family names in the community such as: Gilham, Harlow, Armitage, Goodpasture, Ayres, Young, Gilham and Gillespie. This cemetery honoring our hardy pioneers and the land of Gillespie Butte are connected.
A local author wrote: “the top of the butte is rounded and grassy with scattered oak trees and panoramic views. It is permeated with mystery. If the cemetery speaks of its pioneer past, the butte whispers mostly of a time before the settlers came to the valley.” Living here for over 14,000 years in the southern Willamette Valley, the Kalapuya were the Native American ethnic group and the major tribes were the Chemapho,Chelamela, Chafin, Peyu (Mohawk), and Winefelly.)
