| Introduction |
The Swipkin Family Cemetery index lists individuals interred at the Swipkin Family Cemetery in Riverside, Okanogan County, Washington. See photos. Index information about an individual may include name, birth date, birth place, death date, and names of family members. Index data was compiled by Maggie Rail, a member of the Washington State Cemetery Association who has transcribed over 400 cemeteries since 1993.
Swipkin Family Cemetery is located at Lat: 48° 28' 00"N, Lon: 118° 27' 39"W, T34N R37E Sec 8. There are 11 individuals listed in this index. This index is in English. This index is open for research. Transcribed by Maggie Rail, Sep 28, 2003. Transcription Notes: “After you cross the bridge in Riverside, take the East Omak Road for about 4½ miles. You will come out on a flat and watch for a lane that turns left across a sagebrush field. It is another mile or so and one wonders if you will really come to the cemetery, but it is on the top of the flat hill, which is where the road will end. There was no sign to help direct one to the cemetery.” “This cemetery is still being used. It has many more buried in it than are reflected by this account. Numerous unmarked graves, and also many with just a cross with no name. The graves are all decorated and maintained.” “I walked and read this cemetery on Aug 17, 2003, using a digital camera and will share any photo I have with family.” “*Information from Millie Joe McDonald previous to her death.” |
