Founder and owner of this cemetery. Eugene Albert was an "undertaker" by trade. Arrived in Sumpter in 1895. In later years committed to the state hospital at Salem, Oregon. We believe he may have originally been buried in his own cemetery, then moved to be buried next to his wife at Mount Hope Cemetery.

THE CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF OREGON 1811-1912
ALBERT E. CASE, who was well known in Sumpter, Baker county, as the proprietor of a furniture and undertaking establishment, passed away March 9, 1912. He was one of the early pioneers who journeyed westward, settling in Washington while a young man. Leaving his native state of Virginia in boyhood, his earlier education having been received there, he engaged in active work in Washington at a period when methods were extremely primitive and the settlers had many hardships to encounter and overcome.
In 1882, in the state of Washington, Mr. Case was married to Mrs. Emma (Mullett) Hurley, the widow of C.F. Hurley. Shortly after his marriage Mr. Case removed to Sumpter, Oregon, and engaged in the furniture and undertaking business. By careful business management he succeeded in building up a good trade and became one of the well known and popular business men of Sumpter. His strenuous early pioneer life and later his business activities apparently overtaxed his strength and after 1909 he was an invalid and the business which he so ably built up in the days of his strength and vigor was after that time of necessity conducted by his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Case were the parents of a son, Earl, who is attending high school and is also assisting his mother in connection with the arduous duties devolving upon her as manager of her late husband's furniture and undertaking business. By her previous marriage Mrs. Case had become the mother of two sons: Ernest Hurley, who is connected with Milton College, of Milton, Wisconsin; and Carter Hurley, who resides in Iowa.
Mrs. Case is a member of the Order of Rebekahs, belonging to Lodge No. 128, in which she has twice served as noble grand, and she also belongs to the Woodcraft, her membership being in Camp No. 329 of Sumpter. The management of the furniture and undertaking business seems to have fallen into capable hands, as Mrs. Case is maintaining one of the neatest furniture stores in Baker county. Her business ability is here displayed in an unmistakable manner and in the successful conduct of the business she has shown herself to be one of the bright and able women of the community and one who enjoys a wide acquaintance, being regarded everywhere with the highest respect and esteem.
