Medical Lake Cemetery is located about two miles north of the town of
Medical Lake, south on Thorpe Road and about 1/2 mile west of Brooks Road.
For years the records for this cemetery were kept by several different
businesses. Due to the continued change of ownership, a complete and accurate
listing is not available. In the last years a Medical Lake Cemetery Association
has been formed and it is trying to recover as many records as possible.
There may also be some of the burials removed from Fairview to this cemetery,
these records also are unavailable. (Fairview borders on Medical Lake Cemetery.)
Contact people for this cemetery are: Janice Radmer, 509-299-5269, or Eleanor Ahlf, 509-299-3497
It is said that around 1934 all the burials from Deep Creek Cemetery
were removed to Medical Lake Cemetery. I found only one or two that reflected that when transcribing. While they may indeed be in here, no mention is made of the transfer in the records.
I did a complete physical survey of this cemetery on Aug 13, 1999, comparing
this with the current Sexton files. Transcribed and compiled by Maggie
Rail © 1999.
Some listings may have more than what the stone had on it, for various reasons. There were new stones in some cases, in some cases it was info from the sexton files. I tried to place most of this added info in parenthesis.
I revisited this cemetery on Sep 24, 2004, using my digital camera to read it again. I found 29 new names but have eliminated about 36 of the previous listings due to duplications or errors. Those with an asterisk * following the entry, I was not able to find this time so I have no photo for those. I will share any photo that I do have which is legible. Many were illegible stones. We are missing many from this listing which either have no stone or it is broken or illegible. Please contact me if you see an error or you have a name I do not have and proof it should be listed here.
