There were only nine stones that i found. The cemetery is accessed via a one-mile hike on private property which belongs to Palmer Coking Coal. Permission must be gained from the sales office, located in Black Diamond, before accessing the cemetery. Bill, in the sales office, supplied me with a map and directions. it is located approximately 1-1/2 miles east of Black Diamond. I took a photo of each tombstone. The number in each filename corresponds with each numbered tombstone below. If possible, you may post these photos and the tombstone list on the usgenweb tombstone project pages for King County. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.
