Notes from transcriber Maggie Rail, October 2001:
Foresters Cemetery lies on the west end of the lower road, next to the Old Knights of Pythias Cemetery, on the north side of the road. Foresters Cemetery had no evident dividing line between it and the cemetery north of it, which was the Druid Cemetery. Lat: 47° 13' 11"N, Lon: 121° 00' 11"W T20N R15E Sec 17. See map.

The information I have presented comes only from the reading of the headstones which was done when I visited the cemetery. I was unable to find a contact person for this cemetery. It has all the earmarks of an abandoned cemetery.

I surveyed this cemetery on Aug 19, 2001, using pencil and pad, plus my digital camera. Transcribed Oct 20, 2001.
