Lakeview Cemetery
Lincoln County, Washington

Lat: 47° 18' 20"N, Lon: 117° 59' 43"W

Transcribed by Maggie Rail, July 2000, last edited May 05, 2008 [mrail@asisna.com]. Total records = 143.

Located 0.5 mi north of Sprague, Lincoln Co. WA. Exit 245 off Interstate 90 to SR 23. Go north and then west 1.2 mi on Macabee Road. This road leads to Maccabee Cemetery (road and cemetery spelling are different) which is a perpetual care cemetery. Lakeview is directly south and adjacent to Maccabee Cemetery.

Lakeview is not improved. Because of this Ronald Miller was trying to clean the cemetery out and restore it as best he could at the time of his death.

Several fragments of unidentified wood and stone grave markers were found. Sexton records do not exist.

More detailed and updated information for each name shown can be accessed at: Sprague City Library, City Hall, Sprague WA Spokane Public Main Library, Genealogy Vertical File, Spokane WA Information listed there include copies of any available census listings, funeral home records, complete gravestone inscriptions, photographs of gravestones, family group records, birth-marriage-death records, newspaper obituaries & articles, Wa State Death Index, etc. Microfilm of Sprague WA newspapers from 1881 located at the Kennedy Library, Eastern WA Univ., Cheney WA

This was transcribed by Ronald A. Miller, Aug 03, 1999. Ron passed away on Aug 24, 1999, before he could give it to me. I was to meet him in the cemetery on Sep 05, 1999 and he would demonstrate to me how he repaired and reset a stone, and then present me with the file. His son found it completed in Ron's computer, and made it available to me. As I come upon obits or other information I will add to this work and label appropriately. I visited the cemetery Sep 04, 2006 and have a photo of all existing and legible stones and markers.
