Hargadine Cemetery, Sheridan and Walnut Streets, Ashland, Oregon, 1997

The nomination form for the National Register of Historic Places describes Hargadine Cemetery as officially established in 1867, in the city limits of Ashland. Many first-generation settlers and pioneers (1867–1910) are laid to rest here. The cemetery initially began as a family burial ground where Robert and Martha Hargadine buried their one-year-old daughter on December 8, 1867. But two weeks later, young Cuyler Farnham was also laid to rest in a nearby grave. These are the first recorded burials. Local artists, James and Ann Hill Russell, and James Carr Whipp carved created many of the headstones. Hargadine Cemetery was the oldest privately own cemetery in Ashland, until 1989 when the city assumed responsibility for it. Additional documents include research notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, maps, photographs, and a copy of the cemetery plot map.
