| Introduction |
This database is an index to the Paha Cemetery in Adams County, Washington.
There are 30 names listed. Death dates range from 1888-1944 Location Lat: 47° 01' 24"N, Lon: 118° 29' 17"W T18N R34E S25 Cemetery Directions The Paha cemetery lies about 3/4 mile north of Paha on Paha Rd or 5.7 miles south of I-90 taking a left onto Paha Rd. from the Freeway. Transcription Notes This cemetery is overtaken with cheatgrass and shoulder high weeds, which camouflage huge badger holes. When I revisited July 16, 2005, the cemetery had been cleaned out better than last time I was there. Some new metal crosses were placed over about 3 unknown burial sites, and several others had a white metal marker with the cross arm at the top of the upright, with the name on the crossarm. I found 8 new listings, but there have been no new burials since 1944. I surveyed the cemetery on Oct 02, 1999, reading all the markers I could find. I used a digital camera to read it this last time, so I have a photo of all existing markers and stones. ~ Maggie Rail Earliest birth date listed - 1840 Earliest death date listed - 1888 Most recent death date listed - 1944 Abbreviations s/w = stone with c/o = child of d/o = daughter of h/o = husband of w/o = wife of b. = born d. = died s/o = son of P = Plot Learn about the documentation of Cemetery Records in Washington and what information is found in the various record types by selecting the tab that says "About this Collection"here. |
