Blackburne Family Cemetery
The Blackburne Family Cemetery formerly existed in a orchard owned by George and Alma Blackburne located on the southside of Highway 30 and about three miles west of Rufus, OR. There were only three known burials: Joseph Wilson Blackburne (1838 - 1908); Clara Blackburne (1840 - 1920); and Ronald W Blackburne (1922 - 1922).
Due to flooding from the construction of The Dalles Dam, it was necessary to move the graves. Disinterment was accomplished in May 1956 and best information available is that they were reinterred in the SunRise Cemetery at Wasco. Source GenWeb/herman Co., OR.
