There are two newspaper articles that mention this burial. "Stories of Pioneer Days Revealed At Historic Clackamas Cemetery" by Carolyn Patrick states:
"In the beginning, when Clackamas was known as Marshfield, W J Matlock gave this tract of land for a free burial ground for the pioneers. One of the first to be put to rest was the small Adair child, first name forgotten and the grave unmarked but for two rough field stones and a rose bush, long returned to its wild state."
"Memorial Rite Set Wednesday" states:
"The Clackamas cemetery is the second oldest burial ground in Oregon, the first internment having taken place in 1849 when Miss Rose Adair was laid to rest."
