Kit: That hwy construction in 1947 was done legally by the state. Those of us who have worked on this for almost a year think the records kept by those contractors, the construction crew and the funeral homes involved, is in hiding somewhere because it is to their benefit. The construction crew said when they finished there were numerous graves remaining on both sides of that road, including the graves of Seattle Pioneer John Low and his wife, and his daughter and family, Mary Low Sinclair, as well as many pioneers of the business and logging and fishing industries of Snohomish, as well as Julia Jack, Queen of the Pilchucks, and the Indian cemetery along the river. The Snohomish Historical Society printed historical books in the early 1970's which described the cemetery. Now they are the ones who say there are no graves there! Go figure!
