Note: This cemetery has been referred to as Lone Pine. Technically, the "real" Lone Pine 
Cemetery is located near the Tekoa and Fairbanks elevator. This cemetery is located 
Sec. 31, Twp 15N, Range 44 EWM. It is approximately seven miles West of Pullman and 
two miles NW from the Ewartsville Grange Hall. The cemetery is located on land at 
one time owned by Blaine Hinderer. It was established in the 1880’s when traveling 
pioneers lost a baby and buried it here. The last burial was in 1948. 
This information was obtained from Tombstone Inscriptions, Whitman County, Washington, 
compiled by Weston and Carrie Lartigue. Special help was offered by Mrs. G. R. Lange and 
Mrs. Hinderer.

Biographical Data and Author’s notes

This cemetery is located on a hill over-looking Highway 194 and Ewartsville Road. 
There are pine trees and bunchgrass in the cemetery and because of its age and location, 
this patch of ground is a classic example of a Gothic cemetery. One can easily visualize a 
wagon driving up the steep road with mourners clad in black. The earliest grave is that of 
Klyde Regan, a one and a half year old child. His death is the reason for the creation of the 
cemetery. The earliest birth is that of Nancy Richardson who was born in the Summer of 1810. 
The relatives of Annie Kamerrer currently reside in the homestead of J.C. Kamerrer on Kamerrer 
road, which intersects Ewartsville Road. Samuel Brown’s life is chronicled in his own words 
in a April 13, 1945 edition of the Pullman Herald as one of the early pioneers of the Pullman 
area. Mary Warren undoubtedly is the sister of Samuel Brown. 
I am pursuing more history of the Union Flat area and welcome queries.
