Location: HIghway 25, Cedonia, WA. Lat 48° 09' 16"N, Lon 118° 10' 04"W, T31N R37E Sec 28.

Cedonia Community Cemetery is located in Cedonia, WA on Hwy. 25, on the left if you are driving north. The cemetery sits in front of the church and is very visible, and easy to spot.

About 1883 Christian Engelhardt homesteaded across the road from where the present church and cemetery are. In 1885 Christian donated land for a church and cemetery to the community, with the stipulation it must always be the Cedonia Community Church and Cemetery. The cemetery is maintained by the church and community and is in excellent condition. My wife, Virginia Engelhardt and I first walked and recorded this cemetery in Aug of 2000.

Earliest birth date listed - 1830, Nathan Young
