Total records = 1,107.
Driving south on Hwy 195 from Thornton WA, when you reach Steptoe, turn
east/left onto Scholz Rd and continue for .3mi. Cemetery will be seen
on left side of road, on a hillside.
The town of Steptoe is situated just north of where Hwy 23 intersects
with Hwy 195.
This cemetery was established in 1882, however County court house records
state it was established on Jun 21, 1884. That was probably the date
they recorded it.
The cemetery contains 3 acres and is an endowment care cemetery, owned
and maintained by the Bethel Cemetery Association in Steptoe WA. I found
it in excellent condition.
The records listed with an asterisk * following them, are from a transcription
done by Wes & Carrie Lartique, in May of 1973 and I found no marker
or stone for them.
I visited and walked this cemetery on Jul 03, 2006, using my digital
camera, and transcribed from the photos.
