Total records = 1,010.
Medical Lake Cemetery is located about two miles north of the town
of Medical Lake, south of Thorpe Road and about 1/2 mile west of
Brooks Road.
For years the records for this cemetery were kept by several
different businesses. Due to the continued change of ownership,
a complete and accurate listing is not available. In the last
years a Medical Lake Cemetery Association has been formed and
it is trying to recover as many records as possible. There may
also be some of the burials removed from Fairview to this cemetery,
these records also are unavailable. (Fairview borders on Medical
Lake Cemetery.)
Contact people for this cemetery are: Janice Radmer, 509-299-5269,
or Eleanor Ahlf, 509-299-3497
It is said that around 1934 all the burials from Deep Creek Cemetery
were removed to Medical Lake Cemetery. I found only one or two
that reflected that when transcribing. While they may indeed be
in here, no mention is made of the transfer in the records. I
did a complete physical survey of this cemetery on Aug 13, 1999,
comparing this with the current Sexton files. Transcribed and
compiled by Maggie Rail © 1999.
Some listings may have more than what the stone had on it, for
various reasons. There were new stones in some cases, in some
cases it was info from the sexton files. I tried to place most
of this added info in parenthesis.
I revisited this cemetery on Sep 24, 2004, using my digital camera
to read it again. I found 29 new names but have eliminated about
36 of the previous listings due to duplications or errors. Those
with an asterisk * following the entry, I was not able to find
this time so I have no photo for those. I will share any photo
that I do have which is legible. Many were illegible stones. We
are missing many from this listing which either have no stone
or it is broken or illegible. Please contact me if you see an
error or you have a name I do not have and proof it should be
listed here.
