Asylum Cemetery
Salem, Marion County, Oregon, USA
In 1913 the Oregon Legislature voted to have the remains from the Asylum cemetery disinterred and cremated. Some remains were claimed by families and moved to a place of their choice. Those are clearly noted in the book "The Asylum Cemetery 1883-1913" published by the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society. The rest of the cremains were kept in the basement of the Adolescent Ward at the State Hospital until 1976, when all were placed in vaults in the Memorial Circle on the State Hospital grounds. The records of each individual are maintained by the Oregon State Hospital and are accessible to family members only.
