This cemetery was declared to have graves relocated to area cemeteries when the State approved a highway to go through the middle of the cemetery. Construction began, and only 111 burials were relocated, and nearly a minimum of 900 more were thought to be under present construction sites. The highway was relocated to another area in 1947 and the cemetery remained a divided cemetery with the road remaining through the middle of the north and south grounds. There were no clear and complete records taken on relocated burials.

Died. At his residence on Ebey Slough, May 27th, Mr. Elisha Packwood, aged 67 years.
Mr. Packwood was one of the earliest pioneers to the Pacific coast, he having emigrated from the state of Missouri and settled in Oregon as early as 1845. In 1848, he removed to California and was there during the earliest gold excitement. In 1850 he returned to Missouri and again recrossed the plains to California in 1851, settling in Tulare Co. engaging extensively in stock raising, in which he was very successful. At one time he was engaged in mercantile pursuits in Eldorado, Eldorado Co. Cal. For nearly ten years he resided in Tulare Co., and then removed to Eastern Oregon. From there he came to Washington Territory, settling on Ebey Slough Snohomish Co., the place of his residence at the time of his death. All who have known him, during his life on the coast, without exception, speak of him as a most genial, agreeable gentleman; charitable and kind to all and liberal in his views. He was of strong intellect, extremely well read and devoted to advanced ideas and free thought. His last days were characteristic of the man. Though perfectly cognizant of his approaching dissolution, he was perfectly resigned and ready, as all who are conscious of a well spent life always are. He leaves a wife and several sons and daughters and grand children all living near him, and all respectable, esteemed members of this community.
