Digging Deeper: Resurrecting the Snohomish Pioneer Cemetery - June SIGS Meeting

In 1998, a judge declared the county’s first cemetery “lost and forgotten.” Its not-so-permanent residents had been divided by a highway, unearthed and reinterred at other cemeteries, or—worse yet—left in place with no headstone. Over 60 headstones had gone missing from the site since its founding in 1876, and for much of its history, no burial records were kept. Yet over 300 of Snohomish County's earliest pioneers were laid to rest there—all with interesting life stories.

Join Taylor Russell of SnohomishWalks as she shares her journey of piecing together the most accurate (and biographical) burial list to date using archives and digital research tools.

This is a hybrid meeting offered both in-person and online.
The online presentation begins at 7:00pm
