They were paved over and forgotten for decades. Now a cemetery garden will honor Chinese workers buried in SE Portland
Today 7:00 AM
On a Sunday afternoon, the Lone Fir Cemetery is serene. A handful of people stroll along the black asphalt paths that divide blocks of burial land. A man sitting beneath a towering red cedar leans back against the thick trunk, headphones on. Fresh roses blanket recent gravestones.
But the southwest corner has no trees, nor gravestones or roses. The land was known as the Old Chinese Burial Ground now Block 14 and was used to temporarily bury early Chinese immigrant workers until their remains could be sent to their hometowns.

There is not a single building in the town of Logan that is not historically connected to the annals of times past where the names of many civic, business, and political leaders strived and even thrived in what was an ever-growing city full of vigor and vision â most of which occurred in the first 30 years of the 20th century.
