It was proclaimed to us that there were NO remains left in the Old Indian Cemetery, Pioneer Cemetery, SNOHOMISH CEMETERY; Archeologists found none, at first, but in time one skeletal remains was found and immediately covered up. In recent "digs' a few remains were found, then 57 were found, and now 96 remains locations have been found. A good many of them were found under that black top parking spaces of the Snohomish Senior Center which was from an old house that was free and it was removed from a near Front Street location and place on top of the Cemetery at its SW edge of the Cemetery. The house was so small, that 30 ft. had to be added onto it to make room for Bingo and other activities at the Senior Center. Here is the latest that has appeared in the TV media and at least The Herald newspaper of Everett, WA. Ref. The HERALD, Everett, WA. Date: Saturdays' Herald December 24, 2005 Christmas Eve. Section: Main Page among the headlines Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/about Article: Burial ground causes a furor The Tulalip Tribes object to plans for a senior center at a site where bones have been discovered. By Yoshaki Nohara and Cathy Logg, Herald Writers Map showing the location of Snohomish Cemetery as denoted by Cemetery with a "box" in caps: SENIOR CENTER PLANNED The article is lengthy and continues on the back page of this section "See REMAINS" COMMENT: According to this article, 96 locations of remains have been found via archeological inspection and "digs". Apparently the blacktopped parking area for the old house placed upon the Cemetery for a Senior Center, and 30 ft. added onto it later for greater space contained much of the remains locations. The city broke the remaing part of the Cemetery into 3 parcels; Parcel A, Parcel B. and Parcel C. The old Senior Center on top of the Cemetery was located on Parcel A the SW portion of the remaining Cemetery after the Hwy 2 cut was made(in 1947) for the 80 ft wide swath through the old Cemetery for the highway access from Snohomish City eastward toward Monroe via Hwy 2. Parcel B is the SEastern large portion of the Cemetery unditurbed by the Hwy 2 cut. Parcel C is the Northern portion - a much smaller portion- of the Cemetery on which have been placed, a log cabin, and several old buildings from various place in Snohomish brought there along with a house, and several tombstones from the main part of cemetery. The latter form a phaque cemetery as a part of the setting for an Old Snohomish Village site for schoolchildren, and visitors to visit, at a price, unless otherwise designated at times. This parcel C has been in disrepair for some time, but upkeep is hoped to revive in time. Parcel C is still a part of the original Snohomish Cemetery, and I have heard of no measures to do archeological "digs" and sensing for remains in that part of the Cemetery. "The whole is the sum of its parts" someone said back in grade school, high school, by a source of wisdom. Snohomish Cemetery was broken up by the cut through the Cemetery (80 ft. cut) for 1) Hwy 2 as legally possible in 1947. Then the City of Snohomish broke the remaining part of the Cemetery into Parcels A, B, and C. as related above. The Greek States of Ancient Greece experienced the "Divide and Conquer" -dividing and conquering the various Greek States and now Parcels A, B, and C. are experiencing the same sort of "parceling" to achieve a Goal - Our New Senior Center, when the Cemetery can be "decertified". Does this mean that Parcels A and B might be "decertified" while Parcel C, or the North portion of Snohomish Cemetery remains, unexhumed, and as a "old Snohomish Village" for all to see if it can be "maintinaed" and "viewable" What would happen if remains were found in that North portion (Parcel C) of the old Snohomish Cemetery. How about remains UNDER the existing (Parcel A) old Senior Center building - We've been told there were none, but that's what was said about the Cemetery per se, and it "ain't necessarily so" as the lyrics have said. Come Heck or High Water the NEW -SNOHOMISH SENIOR CENTER WILL BE BUILT where a Cemetery has met a very s l o w d e a t h ! It's the Signs of the Times . . . . . . .
