This old burial place is in the Turnbull Refuge area, thus the name for it. It was at one time an Indian burial ground, possibly a family gravesite. Several years ago some college archealogical students exhumed remains (reportedly Indian) and used them for study, leaving other unmarked graves.

I have so far been unable to find this burial ground. I found it listed one place as in T22N R41E Sec. 1, but I am not sure that is correct. It is also reported to me there are several family burial sites south of Spokane, in and around this same area. Hopefully one day I can find more of them. Anyone who has information further on this, please contact me.
