It is intended that this material not be used in a commercial manner. All submissions become part of the permanent collection. Burial list of Stratford Cemetery transcribed and submitted February 2003. Both above notices must remain when copied or downloaded. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This cemetery is located on approximately one acre of land about 13.8 miles east of Ephrata just off of Highway 28 on Rd 23 NE. The cemetery appeares to be maintained as it is free of weeds. The land is bare of all vegetation. I have included records from an index in the Grant County Genealogical Society from October 1999. Land for the cemetery was donated by Matthew Tichacek possibly in 1902. Best view in Landscape view.
