FUNERAL HOME SALEM OREGON

The Salem Keizer area is one of Oregon’s oldest communities. The Indian name for Salem was Chemeketa, said to mean “meeting or resting place”. Keizer was named after the first settlers. Salem, the state capital city, is Oregon’s second largest city, with a population of approximately 150,000. Salem is also the county seat of Marion County. However, a small portion of Salem within its incorporated limits of 44 square miles lies across the Willamette River in Polk County. This is referred to as “West Salem”. Salem is located in the center of the Willamette Valley, and is one of the most fertile and agriculturally productive regions in Oregon and the United States.

It was the Smith family which started Keizer’s only cemetery with the burial of an infant daughter at the southeast comer of their claim. Originally known as the Smith graveyard, it is now called the Claggett Cemetery.
