Notes from transcriber Maggie Rail, 1999, last edited Sep 06, 2011:

“This cemetery can be found just to the west of Hwy 395, behind the Crossroads Community church, SE of Valley, WA. From Hwy 395 turn west onto Bulldog Creek road and take the first road to your left which is called Church Rd.”

“Behind the cemetery is Saint Joseph Catholic Church where services are held during the summer months. This cemetery is in excellent condition, having perpetual care.”

“This cemetery is often referred to as the Jump Off Joe Cemetery.”

“I surveyed the cemetery in June of 1999. I compared my readings with the current Sexton files and the 1976 readings done by Vera & Chester Rojan and Carrie Lartigue. When they differ I inserted (1976 reading).”

“Earliest listed date of birth: 1835”
“Earliest listed date of death: 1898”
“Most recent death: 2011”
