I have not been successful in obtaining access to the sexton files, to compare my work with. I have researched and found additional names of others buried here, which had no existing marker at the time I read the cemetery. I cannot vouch for their accuracy or the accuracy of the stones.” “This is a replacement transcription for the first one I did in 1998, which was a transcription from a book to start with and included additional names found in my research. I have created this new transcription in 2001 which comes basically from tombstone and marker readings.” “An asterisk * has been placed following any entry added, for which I found no marker. I found these names entered into the following resources: "Gateway to the Palouse, 4th Ed.", by Nona Hengen, various obituaries and a transcription done in 1961, and published by EWGS, and various old death records.” “If there is a difference with a record found elsewhere and what I have, I am willing to check the stone again and correct if necessary. I use the stones as the basis of my work. If what the stone has, disagrees with what is found elsewhere, researchers can make a note of that, I will not change what the stones has, but will correct errors I might have made in transcribing from the stone.” “I walked and read Spangle Cemetery, using a digital camera, on Sep 13-14, 2001, and do have a digital photo of all existing and legible stones or markers at that time. After 2001 they are from obits or family.” |
