The Drew Cemetery (aka Ka'ish Cemetery) is privately owned by Anna Campbell of Grants Pass, Oregon. She has given permission for this cemetery to be listed and for photographs to be uploaded. This cemetery has gone by a number of names, including Chief Drew, Tom Johnson allotment, Peterman Tract, and the Cemetery of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. Despite the large sign stating "Chief Drew Memorial Cemetery" the owner states the correct name is the original Siuslaw name of "Ka'ish." Regardless of the name, we honor the individuals buried here. The list of burials comes from several sources, including listings compiled by the Siuslaw Genealogical Society and the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum. Photographs were taken by Suzanne Smith of the Siuslaw Genealogical Society. Further information regarding the cemetery can be found in the cemetery compilations by the genealogcial society and the museum.
