Introduction |
The Curlew Indian Cemetery index lists individuals interred at Curlew Indian Cemetery in Ferry County, Washington. Index information may include name, birth date, birth place, death date, and names of family members. Dates on markers range from 1899-1915. Index data was compiled by Maggie Rail, a member of the Washington State Cemetery Association who has transcribed over 400 cemeteries since 1993.
There are 9 names listed. Notes from transcriber Maggie Rail (current as of 2009): Curlew Indian Cemetery is located at Lat 48° 52' 51"N, Lon 118° 36' 01"W, T39N R33E Sec 14. This cemetery is located by the old Curlew School. Take the first left turn after you cross the bridge, then up the hill past the garage. The cemetery is fenced. I visited this cemetery on Jul 19, 2001. A few years ago, the tribal council for the Colville Federation fenced all of the Indian cemeteries they could locate which has helped to protect them. This cemetery looks like it isn’t being used anymore. This index is in English. This index is open for research. |
