Coeur d' Alene Press 17 Jun 1937, Thursday Set Aside Ground The county commissioners today set aside a plot of ground consisting of 12 acres as a county cemetery. The burial plot is located one-half mile west of the Huetter service station and is located on the north side of the highway. |
In 1976/77, the Pine Tree 4-H Club, with a grant from the Standard Oil Company of California, completed a restoration and research on the Kootenai County Cemetery. Research was completed through English Funeral Home in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho and the names below are the persons listed as buried in this cemetery. This information came from the old Cassedy Funeral Home records now maintained by the English Funeral Home. The Pine Tree 4-H still maintains the cemetery on an annual basis just before Memorial Day. For information, please contact Gene Smith at (208) 773-7877.
In 1982/83, Alfred E. and Betty J. Shane of Coeur d' Alene completed their compilation of "Kootenai County Cemeteries Vol. I and Vol. II". The information from the Pine Tree 4-H Club was enhanced and the Shane's Books can be found in most Libraries in the area. To my knowledge, no other updates or reference works have been completed in this area since 1983.
It should be noted that, to date, only four plot locations in this cemetery have names attached. These are preceded by an asterisk (*) in the listing below. No official plotting was ever done and only one stone marker exists. That one belonging to John Edward Davis. The cemetery is no longer in use and the last internment was that of Delbert Lunsford on 22 May 1943.
