From Stanwood take Marine Drive heading south. Turn left on Silvana-Terrace Road. Cemetery located in dense forested area. You must walk in about 80 feet till you come to the small fenced area. Scattered headstones that are very damaged and deteriorating. Some just all together missing and only bases found. Starting at the NE corner of the cemetery and working in rows from left to right. New rows marked with an asterick. (*Historical Notes Information being submitted by Racheal Ogan as told by a local native american elder that this cemetery just outside it's boundaries are where the remains of over 500 Stillaquamish Indians lay. There are no markers but he said that about 18' from the cemetery perimeter is where they were allowed to bury their dead due to a massive illness that almost depleated the whole nation. When walking the perimeter of the cemetery even though there's overgrowth you can see where the earth has caved in where these trenchs were put.)
