Lone Pine Cemetery
Tekoa, Whitman County, Washington

Lat: 47° 13' 32"N, Lon: 117° 08' 56"W
Section 21 T20N, R45E

Contributed by Bud Engelhardt, © Jan 28, 2000, last edited Mar 29, 2011 [budengelhardt@msn.com]. Total records = 64.

Traveling on Highway 27 from Latah toward Tekoa go three miles, turn right onto Fairbanks road, continue about one mile to Sievke Road and turn left. The cemetery is located about a half mile on the Sievke Road.

The earliest date of birth on a stone is 1809 and the earliest date of death on a stone is 1883. At the time of this writing (1999) the cemetery is badly in need of attention. It is a jungle of lilac and native brush and weeds. There are headstones that have been destroyed or tipped over plus badger and ground squirrel holes everywhere.

A survey was done in Sep of 1999 by Virginia (Ottosen) Engelhardt and I. We found there have been no burials permitted since 1953. This list is the same as what was copied by Margie Robertson and Lorraine White in 1973. Additional names added from family.
