Okay that was an ackward statement I made... I was referring to National Cemeteries like Willamette National Cemetery or the new one Tahoma http://www.cem.va.gov/nchp/tahoma.htm The old soldier home cemeteryrecords can be found at http://www.secstate.wa.gov/history/search.aspx Darilee LineHunt@aol.com wrote: Darilee, You stated in your message that "Washington State doesn't have an old National Cemetery". I guess the question is what would you consider old? I know that there is one near Retsil (near Port Orchard) and I have a ancester buried there. The ancester died in 1937 and he was by far not an early burial.
