Paul Dorpat, Seattle Historian, who does the Then and Now article in the Sunday paper, might be interested. Also HistoryLink.com collects King County information. (Seattle being in King County). Carroll - I'm sorry I didn't save that Snohomish Cemetery article for you. You can buy a paper from the Times, or you can contact the archive desk and see if you can get just the one article.

I have written to PSRoots many articles pertaining to SNOHOMISH CEMETERY (variously called Indian Cemetery, Pioneer Cemetery, Snohomish Pioneer Cemetery, et al. I call it SNOHOMISH CEMETERY because I saw the old Plot Map of it that the Low descendants had researched & attained a copy of of the Plot Map and its title in the old flourish script printing SNOHOMISH CEMETERY so that is what I call it and since there was at one time a Snohomish Cemetery Association. As a kid when I went swimming below that cemetery at the old Pilchuck Bridge in the 1930s we as kids called it the Indian Cemetery because we knew that there were Indians and Pioneers buried there & we tromped through it looking at the various tombstones; the tombstones that were obvious for babies or small children were obvious, as well as the tall oblisks at various places. SNOHOMISH CEMETERY, though neglected, desecrated in various ways over the many years remains a cemetery in my mind despite those who would think otherwise. The Status of SNOHOMISH CEMETERY needs to be updated for the Record, for the Archives, and it is my intention to try to further that record. Newspaper articles, and postings have made errors in reporting on this CEMETERY. At this time I wish to make Reference to an article which I consider very accurate in scope. I got wind of the article while attending a genealogical mtg in Marysville. Ever since, I have been trying to get a copy of the original article from The Seattle Times that published it, complete with PIX (pictures). I have yet to see the PIX, but I will pursue until I succeed as I am curious to see what PIX they published. I have seen the article, and I feel that it is a well written account about SNOHOMISH CEMETERY, the ONLY cemeter within the City Limits of Snohomish. I grew up just 2 1/2 blocks from SNOHOMISH CEMETERY but it was not until the controversy over the placement of a Youth Center - proposed to be built on top of the eastern portion of the cemetery that remains on southern portion next to the Snohomish Sr. Center, with its blacktop parking area. That is the area that we visited most often after swimming in the Pilchuck in the '30s, 40s, etc. THERE IS A GENEALOGICAL TIE BETWEEN THE ORIGIN OF SEATTLE'S HISTORY AND A GRAVE IN SNOHOMISH CEMETERY-This tie is incorporated in this article which not only tells of Seattle's origins via the family names who were founders, but also explains a lot regarding the History of Snohomish Cemetery in these later years when research was accomplished that divulged a lot that was mystery until the research was accomplished. I call it APPLIED GENEALOGY: A family whose legacy was being affected by action that was going to use the Cemetery as the site for a youth center; proposed to be built upon or near the grave of their ancestors burial site (not affected by the 1947 Hwy 2 swath (only a part of the whole) that was cut through that cemetery, namely Snohomish Cemetery. Their ancestors had played an important role in the Founding of what was to become the city of Seattle, at Alki Point beginnings. They wished to protect, and fight for the honor that was their legacy, and their burial site in Snohomish. Little or nothing was known about that part of the history of that cemetery until it became known in these latter years. The article I wish to refer to is as follows:Ref The Seattle Times, Seattle, WA Date: Sun Sept 2, 2001 Local News section Article: Seattle by and by: The misplaced pioneers By: Stuart Eskenazi, Seattle Times reporter To See this Article: Go to the Seattle times Search Archive http://seattletimes.com/web refer to the date Sun Sept 2, 2001 & the title of the article Seattle by and by: The misplaced pioneers. COMMENT: If you like genealogical based history, you will enjoy reading this account referring to early Seattle founders and the Low family who were participants, and whose ancestry is buried at Snohomish Cemetery yet, despite the fact that their oblisk was moved to the G.A.R. cem outside of the city limits because vandals had threatened to destroy the tall oblisk that was at Snohomish Cem. The remains were NOT removed from the Snohomish Cem. site. I need to write more comments about Snohomish Cemetery because I see statements about it which need clarification or updating & I feel compelled to try to respond to what I read & feel the need to clarify, & document. In these times of other world problems, in which our varied lives are being threatened, Snohomish Cemetery may seem trivial, inconsequental, but I feel the need to record as best I can about the subject as the site was a part of my early remembrance of our old swimming hole just below it. Pilchuck Julia has been said to be the last to be buried there, but I did read an account of a niece of Pilchuck Julia's (her name unknown) who visited her grave at Snohomish Cem. The niece was seen praying at the gravesite, and this niece was said to have been buried at that cemetery in about 1931. Pilchuck Julia was buried there in 1923, a victim of smallpox; witnessed by 13 yr. old Vic Matthieson, in his 90s, still living - the only person who witnessed the burial, except for the 2 gravediggers who buried her & got out of there "post haste" as they were deathly scared of smallpox exposure. Vic apparently was not. I interviewed Vic about that experience. I wasn't born until Nov 1924 ! Thank goodness for Vic. Carroll in Snohomish * * * 30 * * *

Greetings, Many of the Native American records come from the BIA and are kept all across the US in the many NARA archive locations because that's where they originated. Today many of those records are on microfilm for easy research even at those locations. However, I can tell you about two exceptions, and I would hope that both would be mentioned at the session scheduled below for Tue 6 Nov, 2001 One is the microfilm for the Five Civilized Tribes that is normally kept at the Ft. Worth NARA. The Seattle NARA has copies of those with the Ft. Worth ID on them for anyone that want's to use them. The other exception is records for tribes in Montana and the Dakotas that was originally kept at the Denver NARA is now kept at the K.C. NARA. How or why that change came about I don't know. I only know that it happened. Another exception to NARA policy is the records kept at Ft. Worth. If you can't make it to Ft. Worth, the NARA personnel will search them for you for a fee. That is the only location they will do that.

Recently, going through old family memorabilia, I came across a dozen studio portrait photos of Rochester High School graduates, class of 1930, six men and six women, all but one unidentified. The women signed their first names only, while none of the men signed their photos. The back of one photo frame has an inscription that reads: Hazel Burr, Senior '30, Rochester High, Nov 15, 1929. The other five women's names are: Verna, Eileen, Dora, Shirley, and Eloise. The pictures, all in sepia tone, are about 3 x 4 size and mounted in attractive standup cardboard frames. These people were classmates of my Uncle George Gentala--of Independence, WA--who was Valedictorian of that Rochester class of 1930. Ironically, I cannot find George's class photo; he died a few years later, 1937. I am proposing to give each original photo to anyone claiming to be close family. If anyone believes they can help identify any of these persons, please contact me privately, and I will send scanned photo copies by e-mail attachment. Walter Gentala, Kent, WA [email protected]
