The Nye Cemetery is situated in the North East one-fourth of Section 26, Township 13 South of Range 1 West in Linn County, Ore., and on a portion of the original A. P. (Adam) Nye Donation land claim....
No exact history of this cemetery could be obtained save that it was first donated for cemetery purposes of Adam Nye, the man who took up the original Donation Land Claim here. According to information received from M. J. Nye of Sweet Home, a grandson of the original claim owner, Adam Nye gave the land and he and his wife were the first persons buried there. No exact date of their deaths could be obtained. It is presumed that the wife died first and was buried here and the husband soon followed after the land had been set aside as a cemetery. No monument marks the graves of these first burials but their resting place is beneath two large cedar trees, and these are the only trees of any size growing with the cemetery.
The first burial definitely recorded here is that of an infant daughter of the above A. P. & M. Nye who died n November 11, 1861, aged less than a year. The second burial of record is that of another member of the Nye family, Lewis B. by name, a son of J. L. & H. Nye who died on November 8, 1862 at the age of slightly over a year. The third recorded death date is that of Adaline Klum who died on March 13, 1864.
The earliest birth date recorded here seems to have been that of William Arnold, born January 2, 1802. The second is Mrs. Sarah A. Moss born June 6, 1816. Apparently this latter was of the very old pioneer Moss family of Sweet Home.
