I have transcribed from Spokane County Cemetery Directory at the Spokane
Public Library, compiled by John W. Witte, Jul 26, 1993.
Curby Cemetery is one of the unused cemeteries in Spokane County. It
is located on the south bank of the Spokane River in Northwest Spokane
County. There are six known graves and many unknown.
From the book by Ann Roberts, printed in 1989, I found the following,
taken from oral history of Alice Blair Newell. Alice grew up close to
the cemetery where her grandparents are buried, as well as an aunt and
uncle.
Below are listed a few of the many who were buried here. The wooden markers
that depicted the gravesites no longer exist, only flower plants growing
over the graves or mounds of dirt, distinguish where the different graves
are. There is no access to this cemetery.

Blair, Lawrence Wendell, b. Jan 09, 1896 in Deer Park WA, d. Nov
25, 1902., he was killed by falling rocks.
