Location:  Sec. 1, T12N, R6W, Lots 7&8.  On the north side of 
Highway 6, this cemetery is 78 acres large.

In 1943 the USA sold this property to H.F. and Pearl GAROUTTE for $500,
provided there be an easement for burials.  The land was later sold to
Weyerhauser Timber Co. with the same easement on the papers.  
The township of Walville no longer exists, but used to be a timber town,
 employing both Japanese and others.
