To reach the cemetery in Nespelem from Hwy 155, turn west to the fairgrounds and continue just past the community center. Take a left at the creek, then a quick left up the hill for about a half-mile. The cemetery is at the top of the hill enclosed in a tribal fence.

I have visited this cemetery twice. There was no name on the cemetery so I first gave it the name of the oldest or first burial listed with a stone. Sanmuth Cemetery.

I later received correspondence that it was called the Little Bob Cemetery. The contact person is Mabel Jake at 509-633-1854. The cemetery is maintained by family of those buried here.

It appears to still be burying but not too recent. I could not tell how many burial spots were without identification, nor was I able to find more information on who else might be buried here.

I visited this cemetery on Jul 24, 2003, using my digital camera. I am willing to share photos.
