Burial list of West Prosser Cemetery transcribed and submitted by Theresa Peterson January 11, 1999. Both above notices must remain when copied or downloaded. mmmama@quicktel.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- West Prosser (IOOF) CEMETERY, BENTON CO. WA This cemetery lies about 2 miles west of Prosser on Richards Rd., lying between the railroad tracks and the south bank of the Yakima River just off of Byron Rd to the north and Highway 22 to the south. The cemetery has not been used since the early 1950's. Some of the original graves have been relocated in the East Prosser cemetery. Please note that as of this date, no plat map has been found of this cemetery and as a result we cannot indicate the location of most graves. We are gathering information from death notices and obituaries of the early Prosser newspapers to place burials here. The following is taken from the original copy done in 1974 by Jack M. Lines with updates and corrections done Dec. 22, 1999. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLGAIER, Adolph Dec. 5, 1873 - Dec. 3, 1903 ANDREWS, Helen S 1896 - 1903 ARMSTRONG, Cynthia (See Root, Ida May) BADGER, William M.
