                        THE JACKSON CEMETERY

ADDRESS: Delameter Road, Castle Rook, WA 98611
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NE¼-NW¼,Section 16, T9N-R2W WM

The Jackson Cemetery is located about ½ mile south of the Delameter
Road and perhaps ¼ mile east of what was once known as the Military
Road that connected the pioneer town of Monticello and Olympia. It
occupies a bit of land in the south-east corner of the Henry Jackson
Government Donation Land Claim and also borders the west property
line of the Elisha Jackson G.D.L.C. Since it was the first cemetery
in this area it became the final resting place of many of the Jackson
family, their neighbors, and some travelers, from 1855 through the
1940s. It was never a public burial place and never had a public road
into it. It is estimated that there are at least 80 graves on the
knoll accessible only by foot or 4—wheel drive vehicles. The cemetery
is now under the management of Cemetery District #1 and was last
cleaned up and treated with herbicides in 1985. William Whittle
established the second cemetery in this vicinity in 1882.

For many years following the establishment of the Jackson Cemetery
the only markers for the graves were head and foot boards. An early
day brush fire destroyed many markers in the south east corner. lt
was then impossible te locate or identify the graves in this
relatively large area. There were no more burials there. At this late
date it is not possible to guess who are buried there. Some of these
people may have been strangers or migrants. 

Most of the following information was complied by Linda Harriss and
LaVada Gustin using data from the local mortuary, the cemetery, and
the Cowlitt County Advocate in 1982. Some additional information and
updating was added by Izetta R. Clegg and Leland Jackson in January
1987. 

     The following information is a part of a much larger
research project of the LOWER COLUMBIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
