Notes from transcriber Maggie Rail, August 2001:
Druid Cemetery is just north of the Foresters Cemetery and I possibly could have placed some in that cemetery. Also the Druid Cemetery abuts this cemetery on the north. There was no boundary line to go by just an imaginary line as I looked at the map. Lat: 47° 13' 13"N, Lon: 121° 00' 11"W T20N R15E Sec 17. See map.

It was quite evident there were many more burials in this cemetery, but the markers were destroyed beyond reading, or there were none, in what appeared to be a burial area.

The Druids were an Italian Lodge which is no longer exists in Roslyn. This being so, there is no one to care for the cemetery, so it has become and abandoned cemetery, with no records to be found.

I acquired the information I have presented strictly from my reading of the headstones which I acquired when I visited the cemetery.

I surveyed this cemetery on Aug 19, 2001, using pencil and pad, plus my digital camera.

This index is in English.
