RUARK CEMETERY, Mayview, Garfield County, WA

Located: North of Pomeroy, about 2 miles from Chapel Hill Cemetery.  No 
road, no gate.  You have to walk up a hill and the graves are often in a 
clump of lilac bushes.  Most stones are in need of repair and some are 
broken and half buried -- very sad!  Located (according to a 1913 Standard 
Atlas of the county) in Mayview Precinct; R43E  T13N  Sec 20.  Copied by 
Carole (STARK) SLAYBAUGH 25 June, 1966.
