SubTitle: "They Wanna Be Found"! category: "Snohomish Cemetery" is not the G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) Cem. just outside Snohomish City Limits. It is the Cemetery located at 2nd Street and Cypress (near Pine Street) in Snohomish near the Averill Field Complex where the Hal Moe Pool and other recreational facilities are located. Snohomish Senior Center sits on top of the old cemetery where Caucasians and Indians were buried. All the remains have not been removed because it is still a cemetery - even though it has been a neglected one. Where did the name of the cemetery, in question, come from. From the plot map of Snohomish Cemetery as witnessed at the Site of said cemetery by Low descendants, and also the County Courthouse records name the site as Snohomish Cemetery on the their plot map of record. The following has been received, and I would like it to be a part of the Archives for WASNOHOM and PSRoots genealogical sites for the record : (This is by permission of the writer before submitting it -CC.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Noel V.

I hope this works. By the way, I have been reading your posting for some time and I have really enjoyed your research. I especially liked your post on Woodbury Sinclair and the cemetery. Here is the original email below: > > Dear Ms. Horner and Mr. Eskenazi: > I am writing to you both because I have recently re-read your interesting articles on the descendants of John and Lydia Low, the 1851 pioneers at Alki Point. And Mr. Clark, I am writing to you because you posted two articles on the internet about the cemetery dispute in Snohomish. > > I have the history website about Skagit county and I have been studying the Lows and their son, Alonzo, for the past 12 years. Alonzo was the first merchant in Skagit county, establishing a store at LaConner in 1867. I have been dismayed for some time that the Lows were never recognized for their role in the settling of future Seattle. And I was saddened by the cemetery problem. > > I hope to contact one or more of the descendants. I have collected a bit of material on the family that I thought they might want to read, and a fellow historian has written a significant manuscript on the Low family that I think would interest them. I wonder if any of you have an email address contact for any of these descendants: > Valerie Bruns, Ruth Moore, Peggy Nugent, Brett Nugent > or their attorney during the dispute: > Thomas Haensly > If you do not have an email for them, do you have an address or phone number? If you would prefer, you can forward my message to them. My contact information is below. Thank you very much for any help you can provide. > > > Noel V. Bourasaw, Editor > > Mailing address: Noel V.

History gone awry. (CC.) It is good to know that "They Want to be Found" prevails and the Truth will come out in T i m e - as l o n g as it takes. Carroll in Snohomish since 1924 * * * 30 * * *
