About Stewart Creek Cemetery, Quincy, OR
I have recently found out that my great-grandfather may be buried in Stewart Creek Cemetery in Quincy, Oregon. He died in 30th of March 1954 and was buried on the 1st of April. He was born in 22nd of Feb in 1878. His name was Thomas Oja.
Even if he apparently left his wife and kids behind when he immigrated to USA to never return I’ve been thinking about finding his grave if I ever get there.
I’ve found some pictures from Google but how is that place? Is there any chance to find his grave almost 70 years later?
Edit: I found some old info: Thomas Oja -- (Born 2/22/1878) -- x -- April 1, 1954 Died 3/30/54. No markings about which grave he would be buried in.
Also: St-N-L93-G3 That would probably mean Stewart Creek - North - Lot 93, Grave 3.

Ok so this is a maintained cemetery, and they have a contact form online which you can find here: https://www.rainiercemeterydistrict.com/stewart-creek-cemetery They might be able to help find his grave site and document it.
There are a few photos of the cemetery on find-a-grave https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/39460/stewart-creek-cemetery/photo
His digital memorial is here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/25916959/thomas-oya https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/25916959/thomas-oya Dates are correct, surname spelling is wrong but I assume this is him. No photo of his stone, but you can click on the maintainer of the memorial at the bottom and some of them are willing to go out and get a photo if you request one.
So based on the fact he has a memorial, It would probably be feasible to find his grave with the info you have.
This is so nice of you to pull together all this info!!!
I enjoy genealogy as a hobby so I had some ideas where to look which made it easier.
