Notes from transcriber Maggie Rail, August 2001:
To reach the Moose Cemetery, drive west through Roslyn on Pennsylvania Ave. Continue hanging left till you reach Memorial Road, where you turn left or south. Continue following the road and stay left and you will spot it behind the Veterans Cemetery. This cemetery lies next to the Veterans Cemetery and across the road from Dr Starcevic #2 Cemetery. Lat: 47° 13' 11"N, Lon: 120° 59' 58"W T20N R15E Sec 17. See map.

The Moose Lodge started in Roslyn in 1911, with 50 members. In 1931 the lodge merged with the Ellensburg lodge. I have been unable to find a contact person for this small cemetery. It is seemingly abandoned. I surveyed this cemetery on Aug 20, 2001, using pencil and pad, plus my digital camera. Transcribed Sep 15, 2001, last edited Mar 22, 2010.
