This cemetery was located on a hill behind the 
Lincoln Creek Grange Hall.This parcel was logged off in 
the middle 1950's or early 1960's. There was no care 
taken not to damage the cemetery during the logging 
process. So the cemetery was completely destroyed. 
*There is no sign of the Cemetery remaining today. *
 
This information was provided by Rosalie "Webster" Bowman. 
Rosalie remembers this little Cemetery from when she was 
a child raised in the area. The Webster family settled in 
the Lincoln Creek area about 1877.
