Two men planned, and did, murder Mr. Delaney. After capture they were convicted and sentenced to be hanged in Salem, near the area now [1987] known as Pringle Park. It is said people came from miles around to witness this execution, including the writer's great-grandfather who walked the distance from Hubbard to Salem to see this event. Following the execution, relatives of the man known as (George) BAKER, claimed his body and took it to their home territory, near Molalla, for burial. Disposition of the remains of BEALE was in doubt as none of the cemetery wardens in attendance wanted to accept the responsibility of burying him within the confines of their cemeteries. The venerable DANIEL WALDO, whose wife was distantly related to BEALE, said he would accept the responsibility of burial. He loaded the body of BEALE into his wagon and transported it to his home, his Donation Land Claim being SE of Salem, where a family burial ground had been established. The seventh & eighth children of the Waldos, ANN & JUDE, are said to buried in this family cemetery, which is described as being in "a sightly location on a knoll surrounded by a picket fence". [In some instances there are beautiful ornamental wrought iron fences surrounding these family graveyards.] As late as 1960 there is mention of a rose bush, still blooming, which was planted along side the graves of the Waldo children by their mother. It has also been reported that, in 1894, a colored man by the name of DRAKE, who was also hanged at Salem, was interred in the Waldo Cemetery. The known burials in the Waldo Cemetery: WALDO, Jude [he is in the 1850 Census as Jeddiah, age 2; not in 1860 Census] WALDO, Ann [she 4 in 1850 Census; 12 in 1860 Census; not found in 1870] BEALE, George P.

All of the known cemeteries, including those in surrounding towns and nearby areas, have been scanned for burials of these early pioneers and their families. Some have been traced to other locations, but there still remains a rather large number who are unaccounted for. It was a common practice, particularly in the early years of settlement, to bury one's family members on their own property, and this was probably the disposition of some of the early burials. Many of these home burials were never marked or had wooden markers which have since disintegrated and because of this are lost for all time.
