From Basin Street drove northwest on 3rd Ave SW for about 4 blocks and you will come to the cemeteries. This one is abutting the Ephrata City Cemetery on northwest corner.

Transcription Notes
This cemetery is owned by Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church, which is across the street from the two cemeteries.

An agreement has been reached with the city of Ephrata for the maintenance of the grounds. The maintenance building is to one end of the cemeteries. If you need help to find someone, I am sure they would be glad to assist you.

This city keeps this cemetery very well maintained, however it appears there are some missing markers or headstones, as well as some very difficult to read from age.

I walked and read this cemetery on Jun 23, 2004, using a digital camera. I am happy to share the photos I have. I do not have a photo of Those with an * asterisk because a few records came from other sources, or a bad photo.
