Payette County ID Archives Cemeteries.....Washoe Cemetery ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/id/idfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Patty Theurer seymour784@yahoo.com July 22, 2005 The cemetery, .766 of an acre, sits atop a small hill 1.7 miles SW from the city of Payette, on Washoe road. 160 acres of land, including where the cemetery now sits, was purchased by William Upchurch from the government. According to the documentation provided by the National Archives in Washington, D. C., William Upchurch first established an actual residence on the land on June 10, 1890. The cemetery basically looks like an overgrown patch of weeds on top of a small hill. It has been severely vandalized over the years and very few stones remain today. I have been working on this current transcription on and off over the last 3 years. I originally walked the cemetery in 2002. My list varies quite a bit from the one in the possession of the State Historical Society and the others posted on the net. Most of the names came from a list composed in 1943 by Dora McKinney. The Payette County Historical Society gave me that list. Another name was found in the local paper in an article written on the cemetery in 1966. It listed several names. I am working diligently to verify each person there. Name Birth Death Comments Abernathy, Clara June 4, 1893 Wife of G. Abernathy Abernathy, Maudie April 1892 June 5, 1893 Dau. of G. & C.
