No history of the Masonic Cemetery could go without mention of Fielding McMurry (1815-[[1860]]). In
[[1859]], he sold ten acres from his donation land claim to Eugene Lodge #11 for the cemetery site, on partial credit, and with the stipulation that he be given a family plot. His land was also the site of the first school in [[Eugene]] — the “Point of the Hills” school, run by [[Moore, Sarah Ann|Sarah Ann Moore]] in the early 1850s. McMurry died two years before the cemetery land note was paid in full to
his estate.
