Add PhotosThis cemetery was created for the couple who were one of the Coquille, Coos, Oregon town founders. The couple never had children. But they were loved by the early town settlers. The two were married in 1853 and emigrated to Coos County from Knox County, Indiana, in 1857. The wife became the first white woman in Coos County. They led a pioneer's life with all the trials of that solitary life when her husband, Daniel Pulaski, was away from their log home for weeks at a time. She being left in a wilderness. They owned much of the land that became Coquille. Elizabeth [Price] Pulaski died at their residence near the river on 18 September 1880. Her husband became a town businessman and owner of many buildable lots over the years. The Coquille River was their major means of travel. In the early days she felt left alone and had to battle homesickness and the struggle for life it's self. She continued the work of carving out their home place and with planting gardens and growing fruit trees for food. In the early days anyone traveling by was welcomed into their home … and out of the weather … and to share what food they had. Also, the wild animals around them tried their best to help themselves to their farm animals and crops.
Daniel Pulaski was born in Poland and emigrated to the United States of America and he first settled in Knox County, Indiana. Where his wife was born and schooled. Upon his death, Daniel gave one third of his wealth to the town's school system. By that time he had sold their home, in Oct. 1886, which was then considered one of the town's choice locations and a very fine home. He then moved to Bandon further down the Oregon Coast and there built a small house for himself. Upon his death at home near Bandon. He had his remains moved back to Lower Fishtrap Cemetery. He died on 14 July 1897, at 11 o'clock after a severe stroke. He was 85 years, 10 months and 16 days old.
