Penawawa Cemetery Removals

In 1963, the Army Corps of Engineers began construction of Little Goose Dam along the Snake River in Eastern Washington. The town of Penawawa had been located along the banks of the Snake River and would eventually become submerged underwater once water levels began to rise. In 1966, the Army Corps of Engineers removed graves from Penawawa Cemetery and reinterred them at Colfax Cemetery.

Records linked below were compiled by Barbara Croney, with assistance from Craig & Nikki Corbeill, from the cemetery's interment records. These include all known reinterments from Penawawa Cemetery.
