I caught this bit in National Geographic's Top 10 Cemeteries to Visit.....
(#9) "Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland, Oregon
Roaming this natural landscape—one of the few cemeteries that allows the planting of a tree or garden to commemorate the dearly departed—is like the turning the pages of a Portland history book. You’ll find graves of pioneers; Block 14, a memorial in the works for the Chinese immigrants who helped build the city; and crypts of captains of industry, like the imposing Gothic-style MacLeay family mausoleum."

Hi Ginger,
Kyle Maclea I think is away for a short time but no doubt he will be interested in this cemetery with Macleays.

With the spelling, there might be a connection to the Clan MacLeay Pipes and Drums.
