Cemetery History

A large standing stone at the front of the cemetery says the following “this land was homesteaded and donated by Lyle and Melba Taylor and is dedicated to their memory and pioneer spirit of the Columbia Basin”. [see photo]

Cemetery is in very good condition and well cared for. Cemetery is not fenced in. There is parking for cars. The oldest marked grave was from 1957 but appears burials didn’t start until 2009. The cemetery is still actively used.
