This information is transcribed from "Alaska's Kenai Peninsula Death 
Records and Cemetery Inscriptions" compiled by Kenai Totem Tracers 
copyright 1983 page 32 - 41.

This cemetery is located in Kenai on 1st Avenue at the end of Coral 
Street.  It consists of 11.3 A. of which only a portion is fenced and 
contains the graves listed here.  The land was originally Federal land 
belonging to the Bureau of Land Management.  They attempted to convey 
ownership to the State of Alaska in 1959 when statehood was attained.  
Legal paperwork kept it from being final and during the Native Land 
Claim disputes the BLM could take no action.  In June, 1982, ownership 
of Tract B, as it is registered, was officially conveyed to the City of 
Kenai.

Under a contract between the city and Tim WISNIEWSKI, a local funeral 
home director, the cemetery is maintained and kept attractive.  The 
summer of 1982 saw improvement projects such as replacement of missing 
markers and crosses, as well as clearing of brush from overgrown 
gravesites, all under Tim's supervision.
