SAAR CEMETERY, King County, WA ********************************************************************************** The US GenWeb Archives provide genealogical and historical data to the general public without fee or charge of any kind. It is intended that this material not be used in a commercial manner. All submissions become part of the permanent collection. Burial list of Saar Cemetery transcribed by the South King County Genealogical Society in 1981 and submitted by Ray Owens with permission from the SKCGS board on June 7, 2005. The full transcription is available in "Memorial Records of King County, Vol. 1". Both above notices must remain when copied or downloaded. ********************************************************************************** The Saar Pioneer Cemetery is located on a knoll, overlooking the Valley Freeway (State Highway 167), off South 212th Street on Kent's east hill. A Seattle Times newspaper clipping gives the location as "Section 7, Township 22, Range 5 and Tax Lot 9." The cemetery was established, following the death of Peter Saar's wife, Margaret E., who died October 1, 1873 and was buried on a portion of the family homestead. She was later joined by other pioneers of the the White River Area, when the survivors were given permission to bury their loved ones on the site. In 1905 Kent's United Methodist Church was granted the deed to the cemetery and remains the owner of the property today. According to the tombstone inscriptions, 103 persons are interred in the cemetery, the last being Chris Hansen, who died January 19, 1949. Though the tombstones of the Wilson, Iddings and Liesinger famililies are found in the cemetery, the deceased have been reinterred in the Hillcrest Burial Park, an endowed care cemetery at 1005 Reiten Road in Kent. There may be more burials that have been reinterred in endowed care sites, but without recorded data for the Saar Pioneer Cemetery, an accurate count in very difficult. ************************************************************************************** Surname Given Birth Death Index ************************************************************************************** ANDERSON Mary December 14, 1825 August 23, 1905 92 ARROWSMITH John March 22, 1887 November 2, 1909 4 BLAKE Mercy Aged 87 yrs 58 BOND Sarah Aged 78 yrs 58 BOND John 58 BURHART A.Y.
