Driving NE from Ephrata toward Soap Lake on Hwy 28, continue a half-mile
east of the turnoff to Soap Lake. The cemetery will be on your left at
Road A. There are three different entry gates. Be sure to pay attention
which ones are open. During the summer they close them for short periods
of time while watering.
This cemetery was first started by the Paul Family in September of
1955. In 1963 it was first purchased by Leslie Parr and very soon after
on Jul 31, 1963 by a group of 9 investors from Spokane, who kept it
until September of 1965 when William and Fanny Lewis purchased it.
The Lewis' continued to operate it for about 39yr, until William passed
away in May of 2002. Fanny continued to operate it until 2004
when she sold it to John and Vanessa Brown, who will be taking
it over before the end of this year. Fanny is still there as I
transcribe this.
In 2011 I am told the cemetery is managed by Mike Reynolds. I
do not know who owns this cemetery at this time.
The cemetery is divided into four gardens (listed below). I tried to
show the garden each is buried in, but please do not be upset if I erred.
The office will be able to help in that event. It might be helpful to
also have the row. The office is on the cemetery grounds.
I have transcribed from the photos I took, using my digital camera,
as I walked and read this cemetery on Jun 24, 2004. I am willing
to share a photo for a donation, if I have one that someone would
like for private records only. Additions after that date are from
obits or family.
