Swimref@cmc.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mukilteo Pioneer Cemetery Mukilteo WA T28N R4E Section 4 Markers read December 26, 1999 and compared to information given on a sign in the cemetery. The sign, headlined "Mukilteo Historic Site," was erected in 1987 by Boy Scout Robert Hudepohl as part of an Eagle Scout project, from information gathered in 1983 from the cemetery and other records. There are a number of small bronze markers set in concrete that are quite recent, and appear to have been made and placed in accordance with Hudepohl's and other work. The cemetery is currently very well maintained, apparently by some combination of the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Mukilteo Historical Society, and by the City of Mukilteo. The Mukilteo Pioneer Cemetery is located in an extremely picturesque location a few blocks up the hill and down the shoreline from the ferry landing and lighthouse in Mukilteo. The small cemetery is located right on the bluff with a panoramic (over 180°) view of Possession Sound and Whidbey Island, at 5th and Webster. Information given here is from the December 1999 physical survey of the cemetery. For a few burials some additional (or conflicting) information was found on the above mentioned sign (also showing a burial map). When information is from the sign it will be given in [brackets]. In a third source an additional burial listing was found, it is shown at the end. PLEASE NOTE: This file shows burials in the order found on the ground, not in alphabetical order.
