GREENWOOD CEMETERY is located on the south side of East Wiser Lake Road, Lynden, WA approximately 1.5 miles east of Guide Meridian Street (State Road #539). Greenwood Cemetery was started as a community project and later the Methodist Church assumed responsibility until a Cemetery Association was formed. Over the years the Association was unable to properly maintain the upkeep and the cemetery was neglected. The cemetery is now a part of Whatcom County Cemetery District No 10. This listing is for burials through August 2003. All visible stones were read, and those graves without stones were taken from cemetery records as well as additional information for some burials such as place of birth, etc. Inquiries should be directed to Jafra Schireman, PO Box 62, Lummi Island, WA 98262. e-mail: jafra @verizon.net USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be produced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
