Friends Pioneer Cemetery Newberg Oregon

The Newberg Pioneer Cemetery was established in 1879 and today there are over 6000 people buried at that location. I located twelve (12) Haworth's buried in the cemetery, the oldest one  was Enoch M Haworth, born in 1840 in Howard County, Indiana. Enoch served in the Civil War and his headstone gives that recognition.

Death Certificates on file at State Archives Salem Oregon

I located and printed twenty four (24) Death Certificates of Haworth's, all but one being born in the 1800's and Enoch of course being the oldest. I have traced the Haworth Line on most of these (24) names, back to George the Immigrant as shown in the picture

Conclusion and Closing Statement

  #21 The "Haworth Record" Published in 1906 in High Point North Carolina.

   #22  Hand written notes from Lindley Haworth to my grandfather, Eli Joseph Haworth in the teens.

   #23  A duplicate of the hand written notes by Lindley Haworth.

Take note at the bottom of the page where someone wrote "we ought to try and have a reunion".  Here we are today, 103 years later and we are finally having that long awaited reunion in the Portland area.

We will now distribute to each family a 31 page booklet that you can read at your leisure. The information will detail all the data I have collected regarding the early Haworth's migrating to  Newberg Oregon.

Thank You
