Read More	Located in an area known as The Burn, near Mist, Oregon, south of the junction of Oregon Highway 47 and Oregon Highway 202 about 2 miles on gravel logging roads. The cemetery is 2 ¼ miles from the small community of Mist and two miles from the nearest home. Its landscaping is by Mother Nature and a timber company. This cemetery is fairly hidden and unmarked to protect it from vandalism. It is also surrounded by privately owned timberlands. Permission to access the area may be required. The cemetery is owned and maintained by descendants of those buried here. In 2001, one of the descendants wrote that "approximately 58 graves are located in this 2-acre cemetery." Between 1870 and 1890, homesteaders settled in the area known as "The Burn." In about 1910 other families moved to The Burn on the places vacated by some of the homesteaders. Homesteaders and settlers could not make a living on this land and moved on. The church burned down. Then in difficult times the properties went to the county or were sold. The Burn area became private timberland some time during the 1920s. On 15 October 1889 William F. and Melinda A. Hiatt deeded 4 acres to the United Brethren in Christ. Two acres included the church building and 2 acres were established as a cemetery. The earliest known burial was in 1895. The burial site was set aside behind the church on a knoll away from swampy terrain. It was referred to as a "Potters Field." During this time no law required plot designation, or names of buried people. It was a free burial site for all families. Most original markers were made of wood and lost by years of deterioration. Reverend Henry G. Orwig conducted the church services on The Burn. Reverend Orwig and his wife Mary A. Orwig are buried here. There is also the reburial of cremains from a 1982 death. That original burial, found by a local logger, was near an abandoned farm house nearby.
