Introduction	The Ellisforde Mission Cemetery index lists individuals interred at the Ellisforde Mission Cemetery in Okanogan County, Washington. See photos. Index information about an individual may include name, birth date, birth place, death date, and names of family members. Index data was compiled by Maggie Rail, a member of the Washington State Cemetery Association who has transcribed over 400 cemeteries since 1993. Ellisforde Mission Cemetery is located at Lat: 48°47'27"N, Lon: 119°23'50"W,T38N R27E Sec 14. There are 167 individuals listed in this index. This index is in English. This index is open for research. Transcribed by Maggie Rail, Sep 10, 2000, updated Sep 30, 2003. Transcription Notes: “This old Catholic Mission cemetery can be found directly behind the Brethren Church in Ellisforde, WA, which is on Hwy 97, north of Tonasket Wa about 7 miles.” “The shrine housing the old mission bell lies south of the cemetery, which you will pass on your way. The cemetery is enclosed in a wire fence. Parts of this cemetery were overgrown, hiding the crosses which marked the burial sites, but the largest part has been cleaned out.” I walked this cemetery on Jun 26, 2000. There are a few entries with very little information. They are included, because it might be a clue for someone. I compared my work with an earlier reading of the cemetery by Opal Willms and Violet Utt in 1983, in "Okanogan County Cemetery Records," pub. by OCGS in 1991. These entries are followed by and asterisk .” “* Information from family members. Note: There are two additional markers with the following inscriptions: Man, Age 20-30, Died 13th C. A.D., 45 OK 512 2 Men, 1 Women, 2 Children, Ages 32, 22, 21, 7 and 5, Died 5th C. A.D., 45 OK 561"
