Mountain View was on the H.P. Reeves homestead and discontinued being used after 1888 when Greenwood Memorial Terrace was establish.” “The area where it once was is now used as a residence. It was located on the corner of Tenth and Cannon streets, on the hill overlooking the Hangman Creek area.” “In August of 2002, I searched what records I could find, which were not many because I am told most records were lost in the Spokane Fire of 1889. Listed are names I extracted from mortuary records held in the Spokane City Library.” “There were many names I was unable to decipher, which were also buried in Mountain View. These were also difficult to read, so please excuse me if I erred on the spelling of some. After I found these I am convinced there were many more than I suspected buried in this cemetery. I would guess several hundred.” “I am told all of the burials were removed to other cemeteries, many going to Greenwood and Fairmount Cemeteries.” |
