The cemetery for the former Eastern Oregon State Hospital was on the grounds of what is now the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution. The people who died at the asylum were either buried, or cremated. Apparently 1,467 cremains were transferred to the Olney (Pendleton City or Sexton Olney) Cemetery, in March 1984, when the hospital was converted to a state prison.
