Transcription Notes: “This was the cemetery for the Chief Joe Aeneas family, but now the land which is around the cemetery is owned by someone else. It has a fence around it, and sits out there alone. It was on allotment land but now it is separate.” “From Tonasket, drive southeast on Hwy 20 for about 8.5 miles. The cemetery is up on the hill on your left, some distance from the road. A flag pole might help to identify it from the road. This cemetery did have an entrance road for years, until some development company purchased land next to it. They have placed a gate across the road with a sign which says, No Trespassing. “ “It is not possible to reach the cemetery without permission to cross private property. I went to the farm on the opposite side, and they let me go across their property. No access by automobile.” “I found it a bit hard to make the climb, but I love a challenge. This is the cemetery where I lost my keys and bumped my head. “ “There is a fence around the cemetery, but it does not get much care. It did have a more recent burial, but I think it is used very little, and almost forgotten. “ The [following] list of surnames were hard to tell if they are actual burials. Each one had their own stone, without the given name and dates, inside the grouping for that family. If they were surname stones, they were very different. They looked as if someone had gone through the cemetery and marked where each burial was, which they had no given name or dates for. These stones were all alike, names stamped into a slab of cement. Brittain, no data Brown, no data Day, no data Edwards, no data Garnet, no data Grant, no data Gregory, no data Hayes, no data Hedrick, no data Henderson, no data Leese, no data Vance, no data White, no data” “I visited this burial site Aug 16, 2003, and surveyed it. “ |
