Walla Walla County, Washington

Contributed by Rella Gleaton Mar 13, 2001 [rella@ultraplix.com]. Total records = 4.

Knight Cemetery or Pettyjohn Cemetery in Walla Walla County is located between Prescott and Eureka, Wa. on a knoll above the Touchet River. It is said to be about 10 miles West of Prescott on the North side of the road about 1/8 mile off the road in the center of a wheat field in Sec 2 T9N R35E.

It was established in 1868 by Johnathan and Hannah Warner Pettyjohn at the death of their infant son. The number of burials is uncertain as it is now a plowed wheat field. In October of 1999 this cemetery was not found. This information is transcribed by Rella Gleaton from the records of Garland Wilson, area historian.
