Houston / East Albany Cemetery is one of four pioneer cemeteries in Albany (Masonic 1853, Riverside 1847, Waverly 1877). It is officially located on the Anderson Cox Donation Land Claim, but no Coxes are known to be buried there. There is no building, office or sign on the cemetery. A strip 30 feet wide on the southern edge is unplatted, and is a hillside sloping down to Waverly Park. The only parking access is in Waverly Park or the two nearby cemeteries. Total area is 1 acre.
The earliest known burials are [1] Mary (Brown) Houston, who married 25 Dec 1827 in Miami County, Ohio to Robert J Houston Sr, and [2] their six-year-old son, Robert Jr. Mother and son died in October 1851 in Linn County, Oregon. The Houston family emigrated from Ohio to Oregon in 1848, and settled a Donation Land Claim just east of the cemetery.
