Snohomish Tribune, Vol. 109, Nr. 44, Wed, Nov 4, 1998 Page 4 Opinion QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: Editorial City can build pride with youth center The decision to allow the City of Snohomish to keeps its senior center at its current site is a positive motion for the communityh. At debate was whether or not the Snohomish Senior Center m,ust move from its property that once was a cemetery, is slated to become a youth activities center. With the court's decision to allow the propertyh to remain as it is, the city cvan move ahead with positive community-building projects. A youth center will be a vital part of the communityh, a place kids can derive pride from, much like the pride of the original Snohomish settlers and native peoples. While proper respect must be paid to the founders of the city, time has already taken away the chance to preserve the cemetery, which was officially moved decades ago. In deference to those who once rested at the site, a memorial of some kind should be erected. The best memorial of all, though, will come from a bridging of generations - seniors with memories and family stories of the city's history sharing those memories with the city's youth as a senior and youth find their homes next door. END OF QUOTED EDITORIAL ARTICLE ON P 4 OF THE OPINION SECTION OF THE SNOHOMISH TRIBUNE. What will be the longevity of the two together? When growing pains take place, who will move? Tempest Fugit, and of the Essence?

Snohomish Tribune Vol 109, Nr.44 Wed Nov 4, 1998 Front Page QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: Picture - captioned-"Jack Davis, president at the senior center, moves brush aside for a view of gravestones. Picture, lower Left on page - captioned-"Some questions are still sitting in the bushes next to the center. (one large base stone of sandstone criss-crossed grooving, plus another lying back of it). Jana Alexander photo. Snohomish Senior Center on safe ground Judge's decision will allow center to stay at its current, controversial, site By Jana Alexander The City of Snohomish moved a little closer to construction of a youth center and heard a loud sigh of relief from members of the Snohomish Senior Center on Oct 26, when Superior Court Judge Charles French issued a decision in favor of the city, the Snohomish Senior Center and the Snohomish Valley Activities Council to remove the cemetery dedication from Pilchuck Cemetery, also known as Snohomish Cemetery. The dedication had to change before a youth center could be constructed there. (A box in the center of the article reads: "The seniors have no dispute with treating ancestors with respect. In fact, some of our own members have ancestors buried.") The cemetery is an integral part of the history of the Snohomish Indian people and the contemporary settlers of Snohomish County, court papers state. The trial's winning parties say the settlement will respect that history, while moving forward with present needs. The challenging parties, Ruth Moore, Carolyn Crawford and the Tulalip Tribes have not yet decided whether to file an appeal. The historic cemetery has three parcels: A and B are located next to the entrance of Pilchuck Park, parcel B is home to larger trees and a carpet of fall leaves, Parcel C was not part of the court's decision for rededication, and is located at the Pioneer Museum. Parcel C is separated from parcels A and B by Second Street. In 1947, the State of Washington condemned a portion of the original Snohomish Cemetery for the Second Street right-of-way, then state Highway 2. Had French decided for Moore, Crawford and the Tulalip Tribes, the SSC would have had to pony up around $100,000 "just for a place to put the" house used for SSC activities, Jack Davis, SCC President said. That estimate did not include payment for removal of electrical, phone and cable wires, or other expenses related to moving a building. SSc is a nonprofit organization, funded by dues, donations and bequeathment fund, and run by volunteers, said Brad Nelson, Snohomish City Treasurer. So, that move would have been devastating. "I think it's great it turned out the way it did," said Marge kellogg, a long-time SSC member who is on the advisory board. Kellogg made 31 calls to members of the SSC after the decision was made and heard 31 expressions of gratitude and joy. "The last six months was a strain," Kellogg said. The next step is creation of a financial report to the City Council regarding the city's costs. Next, the city will form a Discovery Monitoring Plan, which outlines how remains will be removed, identified and reinterred in local cemeteries, Nelson said. Formation of that plan requires meeting with representatives for Crawford, Moore and the Tulalip Tribes. The Discovery Monitoring Plan will be reviewed by Judge French before it is implemented, Nelson said. Nelson said that when the house currently used as a senior center was moved to the site, no evidence of burials was found. Davis said people at the senior center knew there was a cemetery there. But specifics of who and where are unknown, since the historic record is incomplete. Part of the court agreement included creation of a map showing precisely where bones are found during removal, and where they are reinterred. "The seniors have no dispute with treating ancestors with respect. In fact, some of our own members have ancestors buried" in the Snohomish Cemetery, Davis said. When the removal of bones begins, members of the senior will have a whole new predicament to deal with. "For a short period of time... we'll lose our parking lot," Davis said. That causes difficulties because some seniors use walking devices and would have difficulty parking at Pilchuck Park and walking up the steep hill, or parking someplace else and having a long walk to get to the SSC. To remedy that problem, The Snohomish Inn has offered use of two to three parking spots, and Davis is looking for alternative transportation. But the inconvenience is a blessing compared to concerns of losing the center, Kellogg said. The center means a lot to Kellogg and many of its members. "This place saved my sanity," Kellogg said. "My husband has been in a nursing home for four years." Kellogg said if she were home all the time she'd be "bouncing off the walls." This is the second time the house, now used for the senior center, has been saved. When it was moved to that site in 1992, it was in danger of demolition. END OF QUOTED ARTICLE FROM SNOHOMISH TRIBUNE. SSC= Snohomish Senior Center SCC= misprint for SSC In past articles the address for SCC, and Snohomish Cemetery was given as 2nd Street and Pine Ave. when actually it would have to be 2nd Street and CYPRESS St. and little narrow street that goes past Snohomish Cemetery with the Snohomish Senior Center (SCC) on it and continues South for a block or two and turns westeward to connect to Pine. I know of only two Sr Center members who have had kin buried in Snohomish Cemetery. The kin were Moran and Averill. If there are more then I do not know of them. It is interesting that the so called Parcel C, where the Pioneer Museum with a variant title for the sight recently changed, is not considered as a part of the cemetery dedication removal since it was not a part of this case. Then, does that mean that that Parcel C is still Snohomish Cemetery, the portion of the dedicated Cemetery that it has been in the Past, even though it was built upon with buildings brought in, several tombstones brought over from other parts of the Cemetery and placed on top of that portion of the Snohomish Cemetery of 1875, and the Plot Map dating from around that period? Is there still Cemetery left that won't be undedicated from the Original Intent? Will that be another Problem for the Future or will it simply be Ignored, and dealt with later when another Project is conceived for that Portion? Are there remains under that Parcel C. Will those remains be undisturbed in the Future? Who knows? The photograph shown in the Tribune did not include the pink marble T H O M A S base stone which should be there right beside the one shown in the photo, or is it still there? The rest of that T H O M A S basestone is over across 2nd Street in Parcel C, the "Museum" - wonder if the two will ever be together again - those basestones are pretty HEAVY. The Prices to view the "Museum" are posted again, I see, with the new prices of admission shown on a piece of cardboard and another inside on a piece of paper. The name of the "Museum" has changed from what it used to be.

Thank you for sharing this article with us, CC. It seems the people of Snohomish are never going to know the truth about their own cemetery unless/until they read Carolynn Crawford's book which she has started. We need Scruffy Dan to tell this story to the people of Snohomish. The construction crew in 1947 said emphatically there were numerous graves on each side of the road, which includes where the Pioneer Village is located. I think everyone concerned knows the whole story, they just act dumb to cloud the issue. The city of Snohomish hasn't had a problem finding building sites for a fairly new city hall and a new library coming up, but the only place they can build a Senior Center and Youth Center is on an old cemetery. I know if I had to use those facilities, and I'm sure glad I don't, I'd tread lightly on that ground. And the Seniors are complaining about losing the parking lot they built over a grave yard. Seems to me they ought to stay out of there until that lot is dug up to see if there are any graves in there as we all know there are. Like Carolynn said in court, any of them could have gone to the library and read "River Reflections" or looked up a few records at the Courthouse to see if there were any graves left there, instead of insisting wrongly that there are not graves left there. They just don't want to know about it. I'm sorry for you CC, I'm sooooo glad I don't live in Snohomish! BTW, I recently said on the Cemetery List that I tend to agree with the Indians. I think remains should be left where they were buried. Dust to dust implies for me that bodily remains should be allowed to decompose into the earth. When remains are occasionally found, as on the Seattle Water Front at the Trade Center of the West site, you know that was an accident of progress, nobody knew those bones were there. In the case of Snohomish, however, they have constantly "pretended" no graves were there and they have been proven wrong, so they are blatantly using progress as an excuse to disrupt the normal peace of the old cemetery. I think, CC, the guilty parties will be sorry some day that they were ever involved in this cemetery fiasco. Evidently the city administration thinks the voters approve of their methods. It will be interesting to see how the next city election turns out.

Dear Mike & Carolynn, et al: John Sloniker always come up with some real gems - sources of information for us all. As I was reading through this material, I was thinking: Wouldn't it be great if a fine writer such as these mentioned below could be inspired somehow to find enough material of interest to write about Old Snohomish, its pioneers, Indians, and its colorful history in such a way that it would capture the minds of many people, not only of the area, but in such a way that it would be interesting reading to anyone interested in the old northwest and what these little towns were like and how they grew. Chuck Rice captured much of those times in his writings and he left us a Legacy of account of our early history. Carolynn and her family gathered tons of material during their research. I have seen samples of what Al Cooper has in his files on the Snohomish and neighboring Indians of this area. It just seems that all this material around us and now more concentrated than ever should be the bases for a book that would be very well planned and written and published for all to enjoy - one that any historian of NW History would love to have among their collection. I don't know what it would take to inspire such a competent writer to tackle this job but - though River Reflections by the Snoh. Hist. Society was an attempt, and there is in the mill one that is supposed to be out by 2K or before about Snohomish County as a sort of project history to supplement or "correct" the Whitfield History of Snohomish County into "current thinking", there is more out there re Snohomish! There are writers around as we can see from the List below - a writer that can write other than cold facts, or myths that have been handed down, but material which has been researched and can be written in a palatable form - one that really spurns the interest and flavor of the place and times, and bring out the life blood of the characters and their environment. This is a dream I have, but wouldn't it be great if a dream such as this were to come true! It could be done but it takes the right person with the right kind of verve for writing and the ability to blow life into it. The late Bob Humphreys, and his friend the late Loren Baker could do it as they were historians of Everett. Where is someone who would do Snohomish and make it live again? Writers like the ones listed below, for example. Thanks a meg to John Sloniker for the information he brought to our attention.
