Jameson Cemetery, Jameson, WA 98830 located 8.5 miles straight south
of Mansfield and then one mile west on '5 NE'. The cemetery is located
where '5 NE' and 'D NE' cross. The cemetery which is fenced on three
sides is about 2 acres in size. Only two graves were found with one
stone -- there are others (guessing 20?) marked with metal pens - some
graves still having four pens while others had 3, 2 and even just one
open left in the ground. The area has been overgrown by the sagebrush
and other natural vegetation. ATTENTION: There is an UN-COVERED WELL
on the grounds where the Jameson School was located.

Lee and Lena have one home made hand poured concrete marker marker for
the both of them. At this time, the apple box form was still around
the concrete. There were a couple of cans for flowers, that had rusted
out the bottoms.
Obits are on file at the WAGS library in Wenatchee Fred Pflugrath finished
walking the cemetery on May 12, 1999. From the appearance, I doubt if
anyone had been there in sometime except for the county road crew. The
sagebrush in some areas is at least 4 feet tall. Any misspelling and
wrong dates, please let Fred Pflugrath know. Thanks.
