The Roslyn Cemeteries Karyne Strom Ware [KSW] -March 28, 2005

I came to Kittitas County in September of 1986. My job as U.S. Postmaster (of South Cle Elum) brought me here from Skagit County (WA). The Roslyn house, where I still reside, found me and on December 16, 1986 I moved in. The following year, Kiwanis, International – which had, from its founding, been a men-only organization, began to welcome women as members. I was the first woman to join the Roslyn Kiwanis Club. (In 2003 the Roslyn Kiwanis disbanded and merged with the Cle Elum Kiwanis Club.) One of the many community service projects the club was involved with was a joint effort with the high school local history class to clean up and try to restore some of the cemeteries in the Roslyn Cemetery complex. My part in this effort was to research historical information about these cemeteries. For over three years I researched available records, talked to local people, collected any pertinent news articles that came my way and trekked through the hilly 26 acres of the cemetery complex. Originally the articles I wrote regarding this project were just for our Kiwanis monthly newsletter. Then they were published in the Northern Kittitas County (NKC) Tribune in Cle Elum. I had intended, when I had completed all of the cemeteries to put it in booklet form so the Kiwanis Club could sell it to add to the funds used for cemetery work. However, I burned out before I completed the project. Into the third year I realized that I knew more people buried in the cemetery than I did people who were still alive, and I needed to “get a life.” What follows is a compilation of information from what I wrote, took pictures of and gleaned from other sources like news articles and from the internet. A note about most of the pictures. They were taken with a digital camera from October 2004 through March of 2005. Dates are given for the pictures in order to show the weather conditions of this winter. The lack of snow is appalling for those of us living here in Roslyn – and is evident in the pictures. In a normal winter those pictures wouldn’t have been possible as deep snow would have covered the cemeteries. Many of the people I interviewed for the first articles I wrote are now buried in one of the Roslyn cemeteries. Some of them had old lodge books and pictures to help with their stories. Others just had memories. A funny thing about oral histories. The human memory is fallible, so without actual documentation, some of the stories are “as remembered by”. Articles appear exactly as they were originally written, except that, for some, updates have been inserted with new material. There was a wide gap from the time I began this project – 1987, until now, early 2005. As I was putting my collection of cemetery “stuff” together I found that three of the articles I wrote in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s were missing. From the museum to the library and to the Tribune archives, I searched. They were just not to be found. As many of the people I talked to are now dead, I have written what I remember and what I can still find about those cemeteries. I have also received help from many local people, again sharing their memories. Thanks to the NKC Tribune, Ellensburg Record, Seattle P.I. and Mr. Richard Major of the Croation Fraternal Union of America for permission to reprint their work. Also thanks to all who shared their time and stories for this project. Special thanks to Nick Henderson, Jim Enrico, Maria Enrico Fischer, Sam Talerico and M.J. “Squeak” Giaudrone.They provided information that I may not have otherwise obtained. Because of the time gap of some of the articles and also because some of the same information was used for brochures and other publications, you will find duplication of information and statements in the following articles. Once I wrote something I liked, I tended to re-use it in other places in later years. Also note that my mailing address as shown on some of the included documents is no longer valid. I retired from the U.S. Postal Service in 2000, so I now receive my mail at PO Box 972, Roslyn. There are, and always will be, ongoing changes. For instance, a new Roslyn City Cemetery Ordinance governing the cemeteries was passed by the City Council on March 22, 2005. That, the 1977 and 1999 ordinances are included at the end of this section.

4 The Spawn of Coal Dust published in 1955, states that, at that time, there were 2,913 known graves within the boundaries of the Roslyn cemeteries and 29 more listed as “outside”. Today, that number is 2,986. That is not the number of graves, only the names from remaining tombstones and other available records. There have been, do doubt, malicious destruction of some of the tombstones, as well as damage from windfall trees, etc. in the 50 years since the records used in Spawn of Coal Dust. There were probably funeral records from the various lodges still available at that time for burials for which no tombstone was ever erected. If all graves had tombstones from the beginning, and if they had remained in place, the numbers of names on those markers would never reflect the actual number of burials. Even today one can see markers with names of people who are still living. This happens mostly when a spouse dies and the tombstone erected shows both the name of the deceased and the name of the living partner, as shown here. And, there are many, many obvious burial places with no markers at all.

When Nick Henderson, who has a monument business, was asked what the procedure for completing information on markers already in place, he replied, “If we can, we take the stone to the shop in Tacoma to add dates if not it can be done at the grave we do it with a stencil and a sand blaster. The reason for taking to the shop is that it has to be a warm dry day to do it in the field and when we are at the shop we control the environment. On bronze markers we order a plate we try to find a pattern as close as possible to the original but sometimes the foundries discontinue a pattern”. Lou Horton, Director of the IOOF Cemetery in Ellensburg, and who also sits on the Washington State Cemetery Board, reports that the state no longer allows lodges to create their own cemeteries. Only municipalities and churches are allowed that right. This is, in part, due to the many graveyards that are abandoned and many of those belonged to now defunct organizations. For now, the cemeteries in the Roslyn complex are cared for, some more than others. They are all a big part of the history of Roslyn.

Footstones In my pursuit of information regarding the cemeteries, I learned things I never knew. For instance, early on I came across a very small stone with just the initials, D. M G. This is located in the far upper east corner of the Old City Cemetery, near the fence of the Mt. Olivet Cemetery. I was very perplexed about this. Why would a marker be put up with only the initials? Every time I was in that section of the cemetery complex I would go over to say hello to D. Mc G . One day I saw Nick Henderson doing work in the Masonic Cemetery across the road. Nick was a funeral director by profession, a representative for the Tacoma Monument Company, an installer of the monuments and a grave digger. He is also a Mason, and as such helps in the upkeep of that cemetery. I called him over to look at D. Mc G’s stone and asked – “why”? “Oh, that’s a footstone,” Nick told me. Then he pointed out that there are many in the Roslyn cemeteries. Sometimes a footstone was put in place in the burial plot with a family plan later on to add the more expensive headstone. At times a family just never had the funds to complete the memorial. More often, though, both the head and foot stones were put in place, only to have one or the other fall to vandals. There is little evidence of a headstone in D. Mc G’s place – except for a barely perceived mounding – but the footstone remains. And I still stop by and say hello when I am near it. [KSW – 2005]

Update 2005: Tombstones still topple from time to time. As a result of the article shown here the Roslyn City Council posted signs within the cemetery complex that state that the cemeteries are closed after dark. Also posted are signs that declare: $50.00 Reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person or persons vandalizing these premises. The police department reports that any vandal action that causes over $250.00 in damage is a felony and anybody convicted of same is not only liable for a fine, but also jail time. The cost, today, of the least expensive flat grave marker is $250.00. The cost goes up from there to thousands of dollars.

Memorial Day: Time of reunion in Roslyn By P.I. Staff Columnist John Hahn Seattle Post Intelligencer, Saturday, May 17, 1989 ROSLYN - A white-haired lady in work clothes is sitting on the grass next to a weathered picket fence, shading her eyes from the bright sun with one hand while she slowly works white paint into the deep worn grooves. “There are only two of us left locally to care for this spot,” said Antenette Mulvilhill. “When we are gone, I don’t know………” Somewhere off in the big trees, a bird’s song injects promise into the poignant picture of someone’s grandmother sitting on the ground in a cemetery. Spring is just now forcing rich purple lilacs and clusters of delicate narcissus paperwhites into bloom about the 2,200-foot level at Roslyn, in Kittitas County. Plastic-flower bouquets in coffee cans also polka-dot the landscape of concrete-bordered grave sites terraced into hillsides. Lawn mowers and weed whips are sputtering up and down 15 hilly acres in the combined and adjacent cemeteries of this old coal-mining town. At high noon, there’s not a soul to be seen at the main intersection of town. Everyone, it seems, is out at the cemetery, getting ready. And Mulvilhill is not alone. Memorial Day weekend is the only time that the living outnumber the dead in this picture-post card town 100 miles east of Seattle. There are more than 5,000 people buried here, just outside a town where 900 still live in small, company-town frame houses. The No. 9 Mine here, and the No. 3 Mine in nearby Ronald, were the last to shut down, in 1963. Many were killed in mining accidents and epidemics. When the mines petered out, whole families – or what was left of them – moved away from what was once the biggest town in the county. But the sons and daughters – and the grandchildren and the great-

grandchildren – of the town’s immigrant settlers still come home to repair and tidy the grounds around tombstones with names such as Juanick, Osmonovich and Gasparac. Twenty-four nationalities can be identified. “My dad and some other miners died in a mine accident in 1933,” said Al Charap, 68, of Tacoma. The retired Boeing employee was painting fence pickets around the Lithuanian cemetery, not far from Antenette Mulvilhill. “I come here at least once a year,” said Charap. “It’s my job as his son, to do what I can to help keep up this place.” And so will they come – not all of them, as is obvious from many overgrown grave sites and toppled tombstones – but still hundreds and hundreds of former Roslyn-area residents. They come in cars and in campers, from all over the West. They bring painting tools and rake and shovels and shears. They bring picnic lunches and cameras. And memories. “It’s become a kind of reunion place, where you see folks who used to live here years and years ago,” said Florence Navarre, who came early in the week with her grandchildren, Kyle and Terra Kinnan. Things get downright crowded this weekend, especially Monday, when the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars hold their annual ceremony beneath the flagpole at the cemetery’s main entrance. “We came early to make sure we get some work done,” said Darlene Bloom of Everett, another whitehaired woman working at a grave site earlier this week. “Last year, we came here and before we could do anything, we ran into some old, old friends. We visited with old friends and neighbors all day, and never did get anything done.”

The Roslyn cemetery actually is 26 separate cemeteries, 23 of them privately owned by fraternal protective orders such as the Oddfellows, Moose, Eagles and Masons. Many are no longer identified by their full fraternal fraternal names, but are labeled simply “Serbian” or “Polish” or “Sokol” or “Slavonian.” Some are almost full. One has only four graves, and another, it is thought, abandoned by the National Croatian Society, has only two grave sites. You can read a lot of Roslyn’s 100 years of history on the headstones, according to Fabian Kuchin, a Roslyn native whose strong grip and upright body belie his 82 years. Kuchin, whose parents are buried here, remembers when the family’s Pioneer Grocery helped with burials: “The mines were going strong, but lots of people were poor. And some has lost breadwinners in the mine explosions and accidents. Lots of families lost children to sickness too, and they couldn’t afford much. They’d come to the store and ask for the old wooden spaghetti boxes. They were about 20 inches long….just about the right size for an infant.” Some of the small cemeteries, such as Dr. Starkovich No. 1,” have entire rows of small headstones for children. Some stones have several names, marking where several children were buried in the same small grave site because families couldn’t afford a new site. Despite his age, Kuchin works at the cemetery every week, sometimes every day of the week. “It’s better to be over the hill than under it,” he quipped. With the help of some other Roslyn Kiwanis members, and Cle Elum history teacher, Fred Kruger, Kuchin has helped document Roslyn’s history and get

8 area youngsters active in cemetery maintenance. There are historical shadings reflected in the stones, or at least in what old records and old-timers remember about the deceased, according to Karyne Ware, postmaster of South Cle Elum and a local history researcher. There is, for example, the simple flat concrete headstone of “Big Minnie”

Anderson, 1860-1917, one of Roslyn’s former ladies of the evening. Kuchin said that booming Roslyn once had 11 or 12 women working right over what is now the Roslyn Café.” Not far from Big Minnie’s grave was a marker for Bert Pellegrini, who didn’t die in the coal mines. “He died when a 250 gallon still blew up over in Ronald,” said Ware.

“The explosion and fire leveled a few houses.” Most of the stories exchanged among the grave rows this weekend wont’ be nearly as colorful, but they will shade history and cast a warm afterglow on old memories. In coming home to honor the dead, Roslyn comes alive for a few days.

Mayor squelches rumors – Lively discussion on Roslyn cemeteries By Pat Woodell A misunderstanding between Joe Lowatchie, Sr. and a city employee with a “big club manner” resulted in an angry audience which kept the Roslyn City Council involved in a lively discussion for nearly an hour at the meeting on Tuesday night. Lowatchie and volunteers, working at one of the Croatian cemeteries last week, alleged they were ordered to stop work immediately threatening “arrest and

jail”, said Lowatchie. The volunteers were in the process of “marking the (very old) gravesites of our loved ones with stone and concrete so they will never be lost, forgotten or abandoned – exactly as Croatians have done for thousands of years. What obscure law says that the City of Roslyn has the right to come up to our cemetery and take over our ‘abandoned’ graves and claim them as their own,” he said. “We have no abandoned gravesites.”

Mayor Dave Divelbiss, taking responsibility for delaying the work at the cemetery, strongly denied the motive was to “take over” any of the historic, ethnic cemeteries for which Roslyn is famous. These old cemeteries are private cemeteries owned by lodges, fraternities and organizations, some of which appear to be inactive or disbanded. “I took the action that I did because of past problems at cemeteries which have no one in

9 charge,” said Divelbiss, referring to a recent burial at a cemetery which, it seemed, was not authorized by anyone in authority. “We are trying to clarify (the issue of who is in charge) for two reasons: 1) we want to maintain the historical integrity of our cemeteries and before we start disturbing or changing anyone’s grave we should consider whether we are changing the historical significance of that grave: and 2) for future burials, we want to know who do they see when they want a plot (in these private cemeteries?” As mayor of Roslyn, Divelbiss stated he is responsible for the security and sanctity of the cemeteries and that security goes along with no unauthorized burials.”

At the council meeting, several were identified as having the authority to issue burial plots at various cemeteries. Rumors which grew out of last weeks incident were quashed by the mayor. He vehemently denied the city wanted to take over abandoned gravesites to resell for $300. If any city employee started such a rumor, he said, that employee should be fired. To declare a cemetery abandoned, is not a simple matter. According to the State Cemetery Board RCW’s, a cemetery is not abandoned if a burial has taken place there within the past 20 years, and a city must post a presumption of abandonment at the

cemetery for five years before it can be legally declared abandoned. It is doubtful any of the ethnic cemeteries in Roslyn will be declared abandoned. After much discussion, it appeared both the council and members of the audience were “reading from the same page” and all that was needed was a meeting to define and clarify. That meeting will be held Tuesday, May 5, at the Old City Hall and all officers of the Lodges and Unions (some of them are obscure) with private cemeteries in Roslyn are asked to attend. Divelbiss wants each one of the ethnic cemeteries to have representatives at that meeting.

Roslyn cemetery issue Referred to committee By Pat Woodell The heated debate over who owns many of Roslyn’s private, ethnic cemeteries is not cooling. The many concerned citizens who crowded the council chambers Tuesday night wanted “some smart councilman to make a motion to just leave it alone for awhile,” let the people continue to care for the cemeteries as they have done for 100 years, “because, the way it’s going it is going to get dirty and nasty and that’s uncalled for,” said Joe Lowatchie, Sr. The council, however, appointed councilmen David Browitt and Dave Gerth as a two-man cemetery committee “to gather the facts, the legal issues and comments from the public” and put the issue to rest. With that action, those who had come to oppose the city’s involvement expressed a unified wave of disappointment as many hold Browitt responsible for what they feel was unnecessary action from the beginning. Many of the old cemetery deeds were not recorded because “it wasn’t the law in those days,” said Councilman Joe Neiland. “When you are looking for deeds to those cemeteries, look for them in weird places such as the Burlington Northern headquarters in Texas,” he said.

Lowatchie inferred he had been told by Burlington Northern officials that, when Roslyn was a company town, some of the very old, unrecorded deeds had been stored in the Roslyn vault and “to look there first.” “I don’t know the reason they would be there, but you are free to look,” Mayor Dave Divelbiss assured him. A search for old deeds to the cemeteries will continue. “It is not nor ever has been the intent of the city administration to own these cemeteries,” Divelbiss said. “I want to find those deeds and get them recorded or legitimatized.” However, for those cemeteries with no deeds but with intact, valid fraternities or lodges, the city will ultimately issue quit claim deeds. Donna Susich stated that she and her husband have been appointed as overseers of the Redman Lodge which is still a valid lodge. The Redmen and all three Italian lodges are still valid and in existence and represented by membership. The lodges she noted as active were the Cacciatore ‘d Africa, Silvio Pelico and Druid. “None of these lodges are abandoned as to recent burials,” she said. “So that takes care of four cemeteries.”

Digging up dirt on the Roslyn cemeteries By Jennifer Dillard During a study session Tuesday night regarding the issue of responsibility for cemeteries in Roslyn, the city council decided it would be best to bring the discussion to the next regular meeting when all council members could be present. The discussion which became very heated at times revolved around the concept of “who’s in charge?’ of the 25 individual cemeteries within the unique Roslyn cemetery. Indeed the “Who’s in charge?” refrain from the city council was responded to from representatives of some of the various lodges and fraternal organizations with a vehement, if not venomous, ‘leave us alone and let us take care of our own.” David Browitt, council member and Dave Divelbiss, mayor were to repeatedly assert that the question was not one of maintenance so much as legal responsibility. The conflict – which Browitt pointed out has had an historical ebb and flow, including almost identical battles in the 50’s and 70’s – may have come to a head when Joe Lowatchie, St. and volunteers were stopped from making cement markers for some very old, unidentified gravesites in the old Croatian cemetery. The activity was interrupted by the city marshal, Robert Fischer, as per Divelbiss’ direction. Although much criticism has arisen from the confrontation and accusing fingers are being pointed at the city for the ‘unauthorized” order, Divelbiss insists that he was working with the information that he had at that time and made the best decision he could under those circumstances. According to the city representatives if no one is found to be in charge of a cemetery then it falls to the city to take responsibility.

Each lodge and fraternal organization is responsible for their own meet anymore and have no contact listed with the city for who is in charge. The lodges that were represented at the study session did indicate that they had plot plans and regulations and fees in order. But the city representatives indicate that their concern is with the cemeteries that do not have a sexton in control. Controversy may have also surfaced when an individual of Polish descent was recently buried in the Polish cemetery but may not have been a member of the lodge. Defendants of this action say that that individual had contributed money to that cemetery and had been active in its maintenance. There seemed to be no conflict over that burial until the city questioned the action. Browitt suggested that the land had been deeded in stages to the city by Northwestern Improvement Co. (NWI). This was news to many of the cemetery representatives at the study session who suggested that NWI had in fact deeded those properties to the individual lodges. Records have been lost over the years and deeds for those properties do not appear to be on record with the county. “What Browitt has done is open up a can of worms here,” said Nick Henderson, representing the Masonic Lodge. “For example if I walked up to your house and fell off the stairs and got hurt that would be my own fault, -but if you had been told prior to that that your railing was faulty and then I walked up and fell off, you would be in trouble because you had previous knowledge of the problem. When ignorance is bliss The protective sentiment from the representatives of the various cemeteries rests largely in the feeling that “why mess with something that already works?”

Henderson, who before selling headstones with Henderson Monument and Tacoma Monument was a grave digger explained that in all his years of being closely involved with the Roslyn cemetery he knows of no grave ever being dug up or disturbed. “We know where the burial plots are in those cemeteries,” said Henderson. Mary Goggin of Kirkland, representing the Serbian lodge and the Boyovich family who have relatives buried there, called the Tribune on Wednesday to express her concern over the developments in Roslyn. “There is no lodge active now,” noted Goggin. “So I’m all for volunteer work or someone taking over responsibility.” Representatives of the various cemeteries noted that the community is protective of their unique cemetery and that ‘taking over’ responsibility has never been a problem. “What Browitt needs to understand is that it’s not going to be a problem to get someone to take over any of the cemeteries,” said Henderson explaining that other lodges and organizations have always been willing to step up and help where needed. Browitt explained that trying to define what constituted an abandoned cemetery and who would be responsible for that cemetery were of primary concern. The necessity of establishing with finality who has legal ownership of the land was emphasized by members of the audience and a chase for titles and deeds is almost as certain to ensue as the controversy is far from over. “It could have been as simple making a list of who was in charge for each cemetery,” said Henderson. “But now it is going to be a lot of legal confusion. I just don’t understand why you’d want to mess with something that has worked well for over a hundred years.” The issue will be revisited at the next regular meeting of the Roslyn city council on Tuesday May 12.

Roslyn Cemeteries – 2002 UKC Tribune Visitor’s Guide Karyne Strom Ware – 2002

The biggest yearly family gathering time in Roslyn is Memorial Day weekend. People return to their home town for the purpose of cleaning up their family plots at the local cemeteries. There they meet old friends and refresh fond memories. This is not a time of mourning, but a time of celebration of life they have shared. Clustered on 15 acres of woods and hills, 26 separate, but adjacent cemeteries form the Roslyn Cemeteries. Since 1887 land was donated by or was purchased from the Northern Pacific Company by fraternal, ethnic and civic organizations for burial of their deceased members. At least 24 nationalities are represented, within the 5,000 or so graves. In 2001 an employee of a cemetery transcription library completed a survey of every tombstone still standing in the Roslyn Cemeteries. The total was just under 3,000. Her findings – which includes names and all readable information on the headstones – are posted on their website: www.interment.net. There you will find listings for over 5,000 cemeteries around the world. Once at the site, select the country, state, county and then the cemetery. One might wonder why there are less than 3,000 markers for over 5,000 burials. Over the years vandals have had a hand at destroying or removing many and not all sites were marked with a permanent marker at the

time of burial. Some families just didn’t have the financial resources for that expense. It was not uncommon to have a ‘footstone’ placed with the hope that in more affluent times a headstone could be purchased and erected. There are many footstones in the cemeteries – some with just the initials of the deceased and no headstone. Others are at the foot of a plot with a headstone in place. In the older cemeteries there are still a few remaining icons. These are pictures of the deceased encased in ceramic and then affixed to the headstone. Sadly vandals have decimated these over the years. It is still possible for families to restore the icons – if they can even find an appropriate picture – but the cost is quite expensive. Prices start at nearly $300 and go up to over $600 for a hand-colored piece. And, these are still at the mercy of vandals. A newer method of adding a likeness of the deceased is photo etching. This is done at the monument company before the delivery of the stone. Because of the newer methods, more families are personalizing headstones with pictures and writings of things that were important to the deceased. There are several fine examples of this in the Memorial Gardens section of the cemeteries.

Roslyn Cemeteries – 2003 UKC Tribune Visitor’s Guide Upkeep & Preservation of the Roslyn Historical Cemeteries Karyne Strom Ware April, 2003

There are 26 separate, but adjacent, cemeteries in Roslyn, some dating from 1887. On sloping hillsides, surrounded by forest land, burial grounds begun by fraternal, ethnic and civic organizations contain the remains of nearly 5,000 people. At least 24 nationalities are represented. Over the years the upkeep of many of the cemeteries became a problem as various organizations disbanded and family members moved out of the area. Mother nature began to take over some of the sites and it became difficult to locate some of the tombstones. In 1974 a local high school history class, assisted by the local Kiwanis Club – began a clean up of the area. It was they who provided the descriptive wood signs which still identify each cemetery. Today, the cemeteries depend upon volunteers to provide maintenance and preservation. There is now a Cemetery Commission which is mayor- appointed upon the approval of the city council. At this time there are 15 members and it is they who take responsibility for one or

more of cemeteries. They not only arrange for maintenance they also have a say in new burials. This includes assigning plots, assessing fees, etc. For the most part these commissioners have strong ties to those sites they work on. Either family members, lodge brother and sisters or comrades in arms lay under the ground that is lovingly tended. While the city clerk is actually the cemetery sexton, the person to whom application for burial is made, the applications are then passed along to the appropriate commissioner for authorization. Any burials destined for any of the city-owned plots, however, are the responsibility of the sexton. While the actual upkeep is being done by volunteers and materials – such as new fencing, etc. – are donated to effort, those working on the projects will tell you that the resources are limited. Therefore monetary donations, however small, are most welcome. For the name of a commissioner for a particular cemetery contact the Roslyn City Hall at (509)649-3105.

Grave Matters Addressed In Spirited Public Meeting By Valerie Chapman

The council chambers were crowded and every seat was filled at the March 8 Roslyn City Council meeting. Most were on hand to voice their opinion at the public hearing of the proposed cemetery ordinance. Jim Barich, former cemetery commission member was favorable to the reduction in numbers for the commission, from 15 to 7 saying it was less cumbersome. He also welcomed the measures that would preserve the integrity of the historic lodges. A Voice for the Historic Black Cemetery Kanashibushan, saying, “be patient, I’m 70,” informed the council that she had had family here since 1880 and she was here representing them. She said that she was very concerned that all [people involved with the] cemeteries have a say. Her concerns dealt with fees charged for burial and the inclusion of potentially discriminatory questions in the permit regarding sex and race. City Attorney David Browitt said that the language had been revised to include the word ‘optional’ beside these questions. It was also noted that the higher fees were for

perpetual care lots; other lots were much less. Her next concern dealt with extended family that was not blood-related and how they could be included in historic cemeteries. She also wondered if the city would see about giving the deed to the Black cemetery since “no one wanted to be buried with us then and no one wants to be buried with us [now].” Barich reported that the cemetery burial fees paid for insurance, water, police and record-keeping because the City was obligated to run the cemeteries according to state regulations. He felt that $100 was not an onerous amount for these services. Wesley Craven asked why there as a water meter put on the Black cemetery and not anywhere else. Mayor Jeri Porter answered that the meter was for a whole section of the cemetery area, not just the Black cemetery, and that it was there to monitor leaks in the water section. Keeping it Neat Lisa Browitt asked for clarification of the garbage issue. All council members agreed that garbage collection was a big issue and that the city crew could regularly schedule pickup of garbage in the cemeteries. They added that the problem wasn’t just with debris left from memorials, but that people just

dumped their garbage in unattended receptacles. It was agreed that the changes made by the new ordinance should have period of time to be activated, such as thirty days from date ordinance passes to allow people time to accommodate them. Accurate Records Members of the public discussed how inaccurate certain cemetery records were. The City Council suggested that the new commission would be charged to map the historical cemeteries and record the names of all people buried. Funds for All Jean Butkovich asked about the cemetery fund. Treasurer Shannon Johansen related that there were two funds, a general fund of $8,646.83, and a sprinkler fund of $5,797, that were invested in interest-bearing accounts. Johnasen said that the representatives of the various cemeteries could always ask for assistance from the general fund, that even though the money was invested there were funds that were readily available. Mayor Porter thanked the ad-hoc committee for all their work on the new ordinance. Wes Craven asked about a broken jack hammer that he had tried to use to break ground for a grave, and Mayor Porter said she would talk to the City crew about it. Another Meeting The cemetery committee decided tentatively to meet on March 14 to refine the ordinance.

10.16.005 Purpose. The Roslyn Cemeteries are unique among the cemeteries of the State of Washington. As such, the City of Roslyn desires to protect and preserve the historic, cultural, sociologic, and archaeologic significance and character of the Roslyn Cemeteries. The City also desires to maintain the separate identity and integrity of each of the various cemeteries. The City further desires that the primary purpose of the Roslyn Cemeteries continue to be a place of burial and commemoration of the dead. The City intends that the Roslyn City Code be utilized to provide direction in meeting these goals. (Ord. 887, 1999) 10.16.007 History. The development of the Roslyn Cemeteries began prior to Roslyn's incorporation in 1889. These cemeteries were operated with the permission of the Northern Pacific Coal company, later the Northwestern Improvement Company (NWI). Originally, there was one general cemetery (now known as the Old City). Blacks were excluded from the original cemetery and were buried in an adjoining piece of ground. As fraternal organizations came into being, fraternal cemeteries were also developed as distinct and separate cemeteries. In 1926 the City was deeded the land that encompassed all then existing cemeteries, except the Masonic Cemetery, which was deeded to the lodge directly from NWI. Enough land was deeded at this time to cover some expansion. Subsequent to that deed, four cemeteries have been deeded by the City to individual organizations. These are Oddfellows, Old Knights of Pythias, New Knights of Pythias, and Veteran

25 cemeteries. The City has also subsequently added two cemeteries, the New City and Roslyn Memorial Gardens. The Roslyn Memorial Gardens was situated on a piece of land acquired by the City after the 1926 deed. Given this line of development, the only cemeteries for which the City maintains records are the New City and Roslyn Memorials Gardens, only the Roslyn Memorial Gardens has perpetual care. Most of the fraternal organizations that once existed locally have now been disbanded for many years. Families and other volunteers currently do most of the cleaning and maintenance in the Roslyn cemeteries. (Ord. 887, 1999) 10.16.009 Definition of Terms.

Roslyn cemeteries

THE ROSLYN CEMETERIES Karyne Strom Ware 1988

Clustered serenely on fifteen acres of woods and hills, twenty-six separate, but adjacent cemeteries form the Roslyn cemetery complex. Dating from 1886, land was purchased from or was donated by the Northern Pacific Company by fraternal, ethnic, and civic organizations for burial of their deceased members. At least twenty-four nationalities are represented within the nearly 5,000 graves. Burial customs from those countries can be observed today. The Italians and Yugoslavians especially, used elaborate markers. Photographs of the departed can still be seen encased in clear tile embedded in the tombstones. Many graves seem to be actually above the ground due to the practice of building curbings around the perimeter of the plot. The ornate and picturesque fences around plots were originally erected to protect the site from foraging cattle and wildlife. In part, the uniqueness of the Roslyn Cemetery is that, for most sections, the 'perpetual' care existed only as long as the participating organizations and/or families were around to provide the maintenance. Over the years, lodges disbanded and families died out or moved away. Except for the Veteran's, the City Cemetery #3 (Memorial Gardens), the Masonic and the Red Men Lodge sections for which perpetual care is provided, the maintenance and restoration of this historical area has become the joint project of Fred Krueger's Cle Elum High School history class and the Roslyn Kiwanis. It has been through Krueger's efforts that our communities are beginning to recognize the importance of preserving our precious heritage and relics of the past. Recently the Cle Elum High School history class was feted at an after-school supper, hosted by the Roslyn Kiwanis Club. This was in way of thanks to these young people for their part in the restoration and maintenance of the Roslyn Cemetery; a project spearheaded by their instructor, Fred Krueger. Since 1974 the local history program has grown from a small segment of a semester in Washington State History to a full two semester course of its own. Three years ago, in 1985, Krueger approached the Roslyn Kiwanis seeking a joint effort to clean up the overgrown cemeteries and to begin preserving the historical value of the area. In some of the cemeteries brush hadn't been cleared for over thirty years. Former Roslyn mayor and long-time Kiwanian, Dave Divelbiss, says that over the years proposals were made to have the city clean the cemeteries. The legality of officially entering and maintaining privately owned land was questioned. The city attorney advised that such a practice is not legal. So the area continued to deteriorate. The Kiwanians enthusiastically endorsed Krueger's plan and retired Roslyn businessman, Fabian Kuchin, agreed to chair the committee. Kuchin, 81 years young, coordinates the clean-up crews and sets the work-pace by physically laboring right with the young people. “Much has been accomplished in the past three years by these kids”, Kuchin says. “They work four hours a week during the school year and, besides gaining a respect for our cemeteries they have learned to use many tools expertly”, he continued. Over 110 truckloads of brush and debris were hauled away in 1987. As encroaching woods are cut back, forgotten tombstones emerge to reveal burial places from long ago. These discoveries are exciting and important to those involved with the project. A video tour of the cemetery was filmed by four of the students during Memorial Day of 1987. There is a possibility it will be shown on Yakima's educational tv channel. One of the featured scenes in the video is of the kiosk that, spring to fall, occupies a prominent place at the lower entrance just in front of the new Veteran's Cemetery. Constructed of a special laminate to protect the historical pictures and texts researched and written by the history classes, this two-sided information board is an impressive addition to the cemetery. The comradery developed while working on a shared project was mentioned as a plus by class members. Another is the projects they do which focus on local historical events. The general consensus is that this class is interesting, in part, because their instructor is so interested. Nearly 150 students have been involved with their community through Fred Krueger's classes.

38 In 1971, students Chris Steward and Joe Eberle rebuilt the first fence to be restored in the Old City Cemetery. This past year Eberle noted that fence looked shabby because they had used inferior wood in the construction. He is making a new one on his own because he feels it's a necessary thing to do. This caring on the part of most of these young adults makes them seem more mature and selfassured than others of their age. Involvement in the cemetery project gives them an understanding of the continuity of their community and creates a strong bridge across the generation gap a thing scarcely evident in an area where the generations work together.

Roslyn’s Cacciatori D’Africa Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware February 13, 2005

In 1989 Mrs. Chris Barra Malano was kind enough to provide information about three of the Roslyn cemeteries: Redmen, Druids and Cacciatori D’Africa. She had been an active member of the first two – and is now buried next to her husband, George, in the Redmen Cemetery. Relatives of her husband had been members of the Cacciatori D’ Africa Lodge and some are buried here. With information from Mrs. Malano, I wrote about this cemetery in 1989. Unfortunately that information can no longer be found and anyone knowing anything about this Italian lodge has not come forward. However, Thanks to Mr. Jim Enrico, a native of Cle Elum and a former Jr. college Humanities and Languages teacher, some historical information was gained. Translated, Cacciatori D’ Africa means Hunters of Africa. Jim Enrico states that in this instance ‘hunters” doesn’t refer to hunters of animals, but rather hunters of land and had a military connotation. He writes, “Cacciatori D’Africa is more or less a literal translation of the French “Chasseurs D’Afrique”, Light [quick] Infantry Men From Africa. That title referred to those soldiers who were employed in invasions of various African countries before they were annexed to France.” When, in the latter part of the 19th century, European countries, primarily England, Germany and France, staked out their claims for the rich resources of Africa, they all but ignored the poorer parts. Some Italian governments, with grandiose ideas of getting their share of the spoils, claimed those sections. They did manage, according to Enrico, to take Libya, Ethiopia and Eritrea, but the pickings were poor resource-wise. Although African riches never came to past for Italy, the grand ideas inspired some Italians to form an organization to keep those hopes alive. It would be surprising to learn that those who joined the lodge in later years, especially in Roslyn, had any idea of the original purpose of the organization. It was common in the early days of Roslyn for newcomers to form and join lodges as a means to retain the customs and language of their native land as well as to provide a social outlet. Many of the lodges represented in the Roslyn Cemetery complex provided benefits to members, including payouts when a person was sick and unable to work and a place to be buried with funeral costs covered. With the existence of this cemetery it is apparent that burial was part of those benefits for members of this lodge. As for the Cacciatori D’ Africa Cemetery itself it is but one row of graves that goes halfway down the hill to meet the Druids Cemetery. It is one of the very small cemeteries in the Roslyn complex. It abuts the western boundary of the Old City Cemetery with the fence of the Serbian Cemetery on the other side. This cemetery seems to have escaped vandalism that some of the other Roslyn cemeteries have suffered over the years. Most of the tombstones are still standing over burial plots. The earliest burial, from grave markers still remaining in 2005, is shown to be Franchina Malano in 1916, the last burial Dominick Malano in 1956. In the nearly 40 years since the last burial it is easy to understand why there are now so few memories of a small lodge. With the current abilities we have to preserve records it is so important to record what we know now – and what we remember of the past - so that future generations may understand and appreciate where they came from.

Roslyn’s Croation (Dr. Starcevic #2) Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - 1988

The Croation Historical Cemetery is the most colorfully identified in all of the Roslyn’s cemeteries. This is, in large part, due to the efforts of John Butkovich, who has been the secretary of Dr. Starcevic Lodge #56 since 1980. The wood-crafted sign depicts Croations in colorful native garb. One group is shown doing a lively folk, dance while a farmer is portrayed harvesting his field. Butkovich says he found the pictures in a book about Yugoslavia and had an artist in Ellensburg create the panel. He wanted to show that, though the Croation people are tireless workers, laughter and fun is equally important. Also important to those Croations in Roslyn is respect for the values of their ancestors who came to work the coal mines near the turn of this century. Butkovich tells of his early years in Roslyn when many of the children led two lives. During the day they were Americans who attended local school and spoke English. In the evening, at home, they were Croations speaking the Croation tongue. By the time the next generation grew up, cultural melding had nearly replaced the old ways. In recent years interest has been renewed in preserving ethnic identity and remembering the heritage from other lands. According to Richard Major, national second vice-president of the Croation Fraternal Union of America, there were at least three separate Croation Lodges in Roslyn: St. Barbara’s, Dr. Starcevic and probably the one that was affiliated with the old Croation League of Illinois. It was the latter that started the cemetery that is now known as the Croation Historical Cemetery. The earliest grave marker in this cemetery shows that the first burial was in 1913. The most recent burial was in 1986. As in the Dr. Starcevic #1 Cemetery, the burial customs from Croatia are evident here, although there are many more ‘modern’ stones than in the upper (#1) cemetery. It’s here that the only headstone in the entire cemetery complex contained the icon of the deceased as he appeared in life as well as one of him in his coffin. Here too, was the picture of a woman so pretty that her family had her icon handcolored. These irreplaceable treasures have been destroyed by vandals. These sad acts occurred in just the last year or two. There is a special section for those who lost their life as children. This ‘baby land’ is also an oldworld tradition. There are icons on some of the children’s graves here. This is unusual and attests to the affluence of the parents. In 1927 the Croation League merged with the Croation Fraternal Union. Thus both cemeteries #1 and #2 came under the stewardship of the Dr. Starcevic Lodge. There are around 100 members in the local lodge, though they no longer hold regular meetings. Besides John Butovich, officers are Daryle Starkovich and Louie Osmonovich. It was in honor of the 50-year members that the last celebration was held. Hundreds of people enjoyed a community-wide celebration planned and hosted by the Croation community. The Vela Luka dancers from Anacortes came to perform authentic folk dances and there was a Slav picnic. A special mass was said in the Croation tongue by a Croation priest and two Croation nuns. A parade was made through the cemeteries with special blessings said at each Croation cemetery. Although appreciating the efforts made by the Roslyn Kiwanis and the high school groups to clean up the cemeteries, those in charge of the Dr. Starkovic cemeteries are proud to maintain their own grounds. The mainstays of the grounds crew are Jim and Jerry Ash. The are assisted by members of the Lodge on a volunteer basis. People of the heritage and strong work ethic of old Croatia is alive in Roslyn. It can be seen in the care given to their cemeteries. Update 2005: In addition to the known names from tombstones shown at the end of this article, there are four child’s graves with markers stating “God’s Child”. They are not included in the alphabetical tables at the end of these articles.

This article was printed in the weekly American Croatian newspaper in September, 1983. It was written by Richard L. Major, National Second Vice President of the Croatian Fraternal Union on America. There are probably not many communities that refer to cemeteries in their chamber of commerce type advertising in their brochures, but Roslyn, Washington does, and judging from the number of tourists that view the cemeteries each year, the unusual advertising gimmick is a successful one. Inasmuch as three of the cemeteries are Croatian, the present article is being prepared as a matter of potential interest to the Croatian history buffs among our readers. Roslyn is a small town situated barely on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains, a rugged range that bisects the State of Washington. The community is dispersed, with the main section lying in a rather elevated valley overlooking a broad panorama below, while the remaining sections are situated on the surrounding hillsides. Forests pick up immediately at town’s edge. The discovery of coal in the mid-1880’s hastened the development of the area, but judging from the names on the early disaster reports, no Croatians were there during the first decade of mining. By 1897, however, they were present in sufficient number to have found Lodge 56 of the old National Croatian Society – the main forerunner of the Croatian Fraternal Union. 1929 Documentary As to the number of Croatians that eventually settled in Roslyn, we can best refer to the 70-page document, Medju Nasim Narodom u America , written by Luple-Vukid in Split in 1929. The author, retiring as editor of the Chicago-based Hrvetski Gleanlk visited Roslyn in 1927 as part of a western tour before returning to Yugoslavia. According to LupleVukid 2,000 of the 4,000 people living in Roslyn at that time were “our people”, a few Slovenians and Serbians, but mostly Croatians. Roslyn was the main stop on LupleVulkid’s tour as he spent three weeks there visiting his sister and her family. He described the Croatian community in detail including the

fraternal organizations, job conditions in the mines, family life – the lives of the women, the evil of moonshine, etc., and finally the Croatian cemeteries which he described with considerable emotion, concluding that there might have been more Croatians dead than alive in Roslyn. The present article based on the aforementioned work – Medju-Nasim Narodum u America – and on the discussions that I had with John Butkovich, secretary of Lodge 56, during the course of my visit to Roslyn July 17, this year. [1983] 24 Cemeteries Altogether First of all, it must be pointed out that Roslyn’s Croatian cemeteries are but three of the approximately 24 cemeteries there. Each major ethnic group has their own as well – the Italians, Poles, Lithuanians, Serbians (mostly Montenegrins), blacks, etc., plus the non-ethnic fraternals such as the Masons, the Redmen, etc. Then, of course, there are a lot of regular town cemeteries (a couple) and one for the veterans. There are a lot of Croatians buried in the these latter cemeteries as well. The first two cemeteries holding Croatians lie side by side at the highest point on the hill. They are the original graveyard of Lodge 56 (Dr. David Starcevic) and that of St. Barbara Lodge 39, American Fraternal Union headquartered in Ely, Minnesota (formerly J.S. K. J). Croatians, it should be said, made up almost all of the St. Barbara , membership. They joined simply because it was wise in those days to belong to as many beneficial organizations as possible. Judging from the oldest dates on the headstones, both cemeteries accepted their first occupants in about 1905. The third cemetery, lying at a somewhat lower level was in the beginning the property of a Croatian Society other than the CFU – perhaps the old Croatian League of Illinois, but one in any case that became affiliated with the CFU in

1927. Known as Dr. David Starcevic No. 2, the lower cemetery became the burial place of most of Lodge 56’s members one the upper cemetery was filled. Most From Gorski Kotar Gorski Kotar, the mountainous region lying inland from Rijeka was the homeland of the vast majority of Roslyn’s Croatians. The communities of Deinice, Mrkopal/Lic, Lokver, Foline, Brestova Drage and Bunger are particularly well represented although there are a few family names from Hvratsko Primorge, Lika and Dematia as well. Common on the tombstones therefore are names such as Starcevic, Majnaric, Radosevld, Mataya, Kauzlaric, Plese, Bruketta, Paskvan, etc. No one knows exactly how many Croatians are buried in Roslyn’s many cemeteries, but there must be a thousand or more. One difficulty in trying to work on an estimate, according to brother Butkovich, is that the extremely poor members and the infants were often buried without headstones, and once the wooden crosses and fences that marked these graves yielded to time, those graves were often overlooked. Nonetheless, many of the childrens’ graves are still identifiable as little mounds in fact. It is difficult to imagine how many bitter tears were shed over the loss of these children. Or to imagine the those that flowed over the loss of young husbands and sons in the mines – many, many in the prime of their lives. [ NOTE: There are two paragraphs of Mr. Major’s article that can not be deciphered from the photocopy of his article due to a white paper covering part of that section. Those relate to some tombstone readings – in native language. KSW]

51 One poor woman pointed out by brother Butkovich, married three times and three times lost husbands to the mines. Of all the ethnic and fraternal cemeteries in Roslyn, those belonging to the Croatian Fraternal Union are among the best maintained and this is almost solely to the efforts of John Butkovich. “I’ve got the lower one in fairly good shape – with a new fence and sign and all”, stated John, “but next year I’ve got to get a little more help and do the upper one too”. ( It was the writers observation, by the way, that brother Butkovich has lots of other things to do as well. He is a schoolteacher for one thing and he and his family maintain a sizable ‘gentleman’s farm’ on the outskirts of Roslyn. All this in addition to being lodge secretary!) The Future It’s tough to guess about the future according to John Butkovich. Some members are growing apprehensive about the perpetual care aspect – probably asking themselves who will maintain the cemeteries after the first generation of American-born Croatians go the way of their immigrant parents. A few are even opting for the town cemeteries rather than those of the CFU. “But, on the other hand”, continues brother Butkovich, “one of your members over there in Seattle recently made arrangements to be buried here, and another fellow in California swears that he’s going to join CFU Lodge 56 just so he can be buried amongst his fellow Croatians. Now that’s determination! Richard Major Member, National Board of Trustees [Croatian Fraternal Union of America]

Roslyn’s Dr. Starcevic (#1) Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware – October 1988

Old-world Croations were hard-working people who took great pride in being independent. Their demand for a fair work ethic was reflected by their strong support of labor unions. The loyalty they maintained to the Croatia they had known revealed their pride in their heritage and their respect for selfrule. Immigrants in this country kept a close eye on the conflict waged at home against an imposed Hungarian ruler. The Croations and those who settled in Roslyn , so admired a Croation patriot they named their lodge in his honor. Dr. Starcevic, PhD. was a popular politician in the late 1800’s who founded the Party for Croation Rights. He was eventually jailed because of his stand against a foreigner sitting as sovereign of Croatia. His popularity with the people was such that, after his liberation he was re-elected to office. As one of the major ethnic groups in Roslyn, it is logical that the Croations have one of the largest cemeteries here. The largest is Dr. David Starcevic #1. It was begun by Lodge #56 in 1904, according to early gravestone markings. This hillside burial ground draws more tourists than any other in Roslyn. It is the most like a cemetery from the old country. Row upon row of curbed sites, some abutting the next, rising to the heights to the top of the cemetery. Many are crowned with towering markers in which are embedded likenesses of the deceased as they appeared in life. The use of icons depicting details of the deceased was unique to the people of southern Yugoslavia. This folk art has become a part of Roslyn thanks to those who chose this as their adopted home. Some families, such as the Matayas, have further enhanced gravesites by elegant vault coverings. One covering is of ceramic squares, one of inlaid slate others of white marble chips and astro turf. Slate has been placed on the grave of a Mataya child. This is one of the few cemeteries that has a special section for the very young. It is among the many tiny graves that the pain and tragedy of early life in Roslyn can be seen. Few families escaped the sorrow of burying a child. John and Mary Mance buried three children between the years 1906 and 1913. Several other families buried two babies. Multiple births seemed particularly vulnerable to loss. There re at least five plots that show twins were born and quickly died. Near the twins graves are the burial places of people who were neighbors in life. Mary Osmonovich Andler, director of the Roslyn Museum, says her parents are among those. It becomes an old neighborhood reunion on Memorial Day when children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren come back to Roslyn to decorate the graves of their ancestors. The parents of Fabian Kuchin, head of the Roslyn Kiwanis Cemetery Committee, are interred here. He and his wife, Rosella, have already specified that when their time comes they have arranged for their ashes to be encased within the family plot. Next to the Kuchin site is a grave, unmarked except for the profuse growth of lilac bushes planted long ago, are the remains of Roslyn’s first shoemaker, Paul Matejictch by name, who died in the 1920’s. This information is provided by Fabian Kuchin. Another first in the Dr. Starcevic Cemetery was the transportation of a casket to the cemetery by motorcar. This was also in the 1920’s. The horse-drawn cart continued to be used in the winter snows, but the automobile soon became the chosen hearse. Richard Major, a member of the Croation Fraternal Union in Seattle recently translated Ivo F. Lupis-Vukic’s “Some Observations on Roslyn, Washington – a Typical Croation/American CoalMining Town in the 1920’s. Politician/journalist, Mr. Lupis-Vukic traveled from Yugoslavia to Roslyn in 1927 to visit his sister, Olivia Chapetta. Excerpts from Mr. Major’s translation follow: “…I grew somber as I realized just how much of Yugoslavia’s potential strength was buried here in this one small place.”

58 “The feelings of our emigrated sons and daughters for the motherland that gave them life run deep.” “Consider, for example, the inscriptions on the tombstones – all of which are practically the same as this one:” HERE RESTS KICAN, BORN JUNE 1884 IN THE VILLAGE OF MRKOPALJ, GORSKI KOTAR, CROATIA AND DIED 21 JULY 1910 IN ROSLYN, WASH. REST IN PEACE. “With these modest inscriptions uniting them to the village, region and country of their birth, it will perhaps be easier for the deceased to rest eternally in this foreign land.” As part of the Roslyn Centennial, in 1986, a Croation priest came from Canada to hold mass and memorial services in the native language. This event is recalled with fondness and pride by the local descendants of those early Slavic settlers. John Butkovich has, for years, accepted the responsibility for the upkeep of both Dr. Starcevic #1 Cemetery and Dr. Starcevic #2 (Croation National) Cemetery in the lower complex area. The two cemeteries originally belonged to two separate Croation lodges which merged in the 1920’s. As Starcevic #1 filled up burials were made in #2. That cemetery ( The Croation Cemetery) has its own story.

Roslyn's Druid Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware, June 1989

In ancient times the sagas and genealogies of the ruling class were memorized and conveyed only in the poems and songs of the bards; none of it was committed to the written word. These chronicles were to be for the glory of the nobles, and the respected minstrels traveled about the country propagating the praise. This was the pre-Christian era in what is now Ireland and Great Britain and the revered sages who dispensed justice and wisdom in that time were the Druid priests. Though legends and conjecture about this exalted sect are abundant there is no known recorded mention of the Druids until the Greek philosopher, Diogenes, wrote in about 300 BC It is from the accounts of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, however, that colors the present day concept of the ancient order of religious officials. In fact, one of his close friends, Divitiacuas, professed to be a Druid. He was said to have acted as counsel to Caesar. On the wane at the time of the Romanization of Britain, the Christian clergy brought the final blow to the power of the Druids. According to the organized church of Rome, the ancient order of Druids had, by then, degenerated into a cult of sorcerers. For centuries the Druids were remembered only in remote folklore. In the 18th and 19th century, world curiosity about ancient times was revived by archeological excavations. At that same time Friendly Societies, or fraternal orders, were prevalent. Many organizations were actually offsprings of Freemasonry, imitating their ceremonies and aims. They were organized with high human principals in mind for the social good of the members and their communities. One such group was the United Ancient Order of Druids. Founded in Great Britain in 1781 the Order grew and spread to other countries. The rituals manual shows that they not only identified their officers as Arch Druid, First Bard, Second Bard, etc., but that they referred to their lodges as Druidic Circle and their headquarters as the Supreme Grove. Part of the initiation liturgy reads: “The Ancient Druids were a priestly Order, possessing great knowledge far in advance of the age in which they lived. They, therefore, became the teachers and to some extent the rulers of the people. They were greatly beloved for their justice and benevolence. The object of our Order is to emulate their virtues and as true members of the great human family assist each other.” It was no doubt the virtues described above rather than the Christian Church's attitude toward the ancient Druids that drew good Catholic Italians into the fold of membership. For that is what Roslyn's Druids were. It is also interesting that all lodge functions were conducted in Italian though the rituals manual was printed in only English. Chartered in Roslyn in 1900, they built their own meeting hall in 1909. This was on 1st street in the block above the Miner's Cafe next to what used to be the Sweet Shop. The Druids and the Druidessas conducted circle business there until the building was sold and torn down around 1938. The men's Order folded prior to 1927. The last president was Silvestro Fossatti. His grave, dated 1927, is in the Druids Cemetery in Roslyn. The women, however, kept the organization active for many years. The Prosperity Circle No.2 (Druidessa) was instituted on July 10, 1911. The first president was Marianna Barra. Years later her daughter, Chris Barra Malano became the last president and had the task, in the mid-1950's, of sending all of the records and regalia back to the national office in Indianapolis. It is unknown if any of this Order still exists. Chris recalls that Mrs. Teresa Paneri held the office of treasurer for over 30 years. “She was so dependable. It was very important to her that she do the job exactly right that she would fret if things didn't come out exactly to the penny.” When the lodge was first formed the initiation fee was 50 cents while the monthly dues were 10 cents. The initiation fee was raised to $1.00, but the monthly dues remained at 10 cents right up to the

71 last day of its existence. From time to time a dues raise was proposed, but many members threatened to quit if an increase was voted in. One woman told the group that she was cooking and washing for her family and four bachelor men as well just so she could have extra money for her lodge dues. She claimed she was not about ready to take on more work to pay higher dues. The Druidessa meetings were well attended as it was the only social time away from the labors of family responsibilities for many of the women. Roslyn native, Ed Violetta used to play the accordion for many of the parties that the lodge held. He says that those Italian ladies really knew how to have fun and their parties were filled with singing, dancing, and laughing. Now the Druid Cemetery has become one of those that have been all but abandoned and the boundaries are difficult to see. It is located in the middle of the oldest sections of Roslyn's cemeteries. One can but guess where it ends and others, nearby begin. Many of the graves are now visible as burial places only because of crumbling cement curbings or rock placements. Some others have bases on which tombstones must have once resided but now only the base remains. Why the Italians wanted to be associated with the ancient Druids is unclear, but there seems to be something symbolically appropriate about the sacred holly of the Druids now growing on the grave of Carlo Bachino; he who seems to be one of the first-buried in the Druid's Cemetery in 1906.

Karyne Ware N.K. C. Tribune Cle Elum, Wa. 98922

Dear Karyne Ware, I found your article, Roslyn’s Druid Cemetery, in the June 19 Tribune very interesting, since my mother belonged to the Druidessa Lodge in the early nineteen-hundreds. You write that the reason the Italians wanted to be associated with the Druid Lodge is unclear. Undoubtedly it is. Yet, oddly enough, it is somewhat appropriate that many Italians did join the lodge. It almost seems that there was something atavistic about their wanting to be part of the lodge, although most Italians in Roslyn were unaware probably of the early history of their ancestors. Most of the Italian immigrants in Roslyn, including my mother’s family, the Feroglias who arrived there in 1889, came from Piedmont, the northwest Italian province that borders France and Switzerland. Of course there were many other Italian immigrants from the Venetian provinces, Lombardy, Tuscany, Umbria and Calabria. Piedmont, like all of Northern Italy at the time of Rome, was known as Gallia Cisalpina (Gaul) on this side of the Alps. What is now France was, of course, known as Transalpine Gaul, (Gaul across the Alps). Both Cisalpine and Transalpine Gaul were occupied by many tribes who spoke Gaulish, a Celtic language. (At that time Celtic was spoken all across Europe. Today it is confined to Brittany in France, to Wales, Ireland and parts of Scotland.) The ancestors of many Piedmontese, therefore, spoke a Celtic language and were served, like the early British and Irish and Gauls in France by the Druid priesthood. As you know the more aggressive and warlike Romans changed things around a bit. They conquered Gaul and Romanized it, made Latin speakers and Roman citizens of the original inhabitants. The Gauls in Northern Italy were subjugated by the Romans by 191 B.C. Northern Italy did not become a part of Roman Italy, however, until 42 B.C., two years after Julius Caesar’s death.

73 Northern Italy in the following centuries until the downfall of the Roman Empire was like France almost Roman, but not quite. During the following centuries there were invasions of Germanic tribes from the North. A Piedmontese is therefore a blend of Celtic, Latin and Germanic. In the nineteenth century Piedmont was instrumental in uniting all of Italy, even giving it its royal family, the House of Savoy. The Piedmontese dialect, the language spoken by most people, even the royal family and the upper classes at one time, (Now everyone learns and speaks standard Italian derived from Tuscan. Only the peasants and many townspeople continue to speak Piedmontese.) is a Gallic-Italian dialect, probably influenced, like French, by the Celtic language that was once spoken in those areas. Piedmontese, even more than French retains many words derived from Celtic: for example, bocia (bocha) for boy, bric (breek) for hill, crin (kring) for pig, tup or dup (toop) dark. Moreover, many place names, as in the rest of Europe, are of Celtic origin: Eporedia (Iverea today); Vercelli from Wer-Celt, even the capital city, Turin or Torino from the Taurini, a Celtic tribe. Many old Piedmontese folk-tales, too, are of Celtic origin as are some ancient customs similar to our Halloween. So, I suppose you could say, Roslyn Italians did have a connection, if a tenuous one, with the ancient Druids. It is interesting, too, that the Celts in the popular imagination are identified with red-haired freckled-faced people. Piedmont has an especially high incidence of red-haired people, including my two great-grandmothers. You also mention a Carlo Bachino in your article. The Bachinos were Northern Italians or possibly Swiss-Italians who lived on Pennsylvania Avenue above where the museum now stands. They were great friends of the Meneghels (German-Austrian Tyrol), a family into which my mother first married. The Bachino mother and her daughters were fine seamstresses. One of the Bachino sons married Flora Meneghel and they moved to San Luis Obispo, California. They lived on a large ranch near the city for many years. Thank you for your patience and attention. Sincerely, H. J. Enrico

The sign board for the Druid Cemetery is located in the middle of a hill, not accessible by road and surrounded by other cemeteries. The sign, as many of the gravesites are falling into sad disrepair. Pictures were taken the end of January, 2005. Here, Easton Ridge can be seen in the distance.

Roslyn’s Eagles Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware – 1989

“The few years that we call life pass swiftly as the passing of a star across the sky. Your earthly hopes and striving end here at the grave.” This excerpt is from the Ritual of the Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.). The F.O.E. originated in Seattle in 1898 and Roslyn Aerie #696 was chartered in 1904. The exact date of the acquisition of a cemetery is uncertain, but the earliest tombstone shows the first to be buried here was 32 year old Matthew M. Collett in September of 1908. The Eagle’s emblem and Aerie affiliation adorn his marker. From Collett’s time to that of the last interred, Ernest Joseph Ferra in 1986, there have been roughly 305 burials in the Eagles Cemetery. It’s difficult to know the precise number s there are entire family-sized plots with no markers of any kind. Many former leading citizens have been laid to rest here. There are those who were judges, city council members, labor leaders, educators and business people. There is, also, a man who met his end suddenly on August 18, 1928 when the 250-gallon moonshine still he’d been operating to the north in the town of Ronald, exploded. Not only was he killed, but the ensuing fire destroyed 30 nearby buildings. Although all of the graves are laid out in basically the same direction, and some semblance of rows exist, there are many exceptions. Often the ground preparation and encasement were done by family and friends and sites were “eyeballed” for symmetry. The resulting effect gives a diverse viewing perspective. Steeply sloping terrain has brought about some interesting grave placements. During the summer months a family has been able to choose any available site. However, winter snows often dictate that burials be made on lower, more accessible sections. There have been people, who anticipating a winter demise, have driven long stakes in their chosen plot so that it can be located even in the deepest snow. In earlier times there were families who hadn’t the financial resources to pay for trappings of a funeral. Some of the small children were buried in boxes which were obtained , free of charge, from local grocers. The wooden boxes made for long macaroni were just the right size. This in no way implied disrespect, there simply was no money to pay for any better. Macaroni box burials can be found in many of the Roslyn cemeteries. One of the policies of the Eagles is that no member nor their family will ever have to be buried in a pauper’s grave. Land in their cemetery is provided free for this purpose. The spirit of neighbor helping neighbor has given, and continues to give, the Eagles Cemetery a certain charisma. Roslyn Aeries #696 continues to provide needed maintenance. When the last of the 25 or so spaces are filled, ground will be broken for the new Eagles Cemetery directly across the road. Plans are to allow only flush markers in order to more easily keep the ground in order. Whichever one becomes the final resting place of an Eagles member, they and their families will be assured that, as long as there is a Fraternal Order of Eagles, attentive custodial care will be given to that venerated ground.

Roslyn’s Foresters Cemetery By Karyne Strom Ware February 14, 2005

In the beginning there was the Ancient Order of Foresters - founded in England in 1745 and introduced to America in Philadelphia in 1832. It was organized into three high courts and about 450 subcourts and was a fraternal benefit society organized to provide insurance benefits to the families of its members. In 1874 at Newark, New Jersey, a group of people carrying on these traditions of mutual aid and fraternity started The Independent Order of Foresters. The objectives were to unite fraternally all persons of sound body and mental health and good moral character, under the age of 55; to give moral and material aid to its members and their dependents; to educate the members socially, morally, and intellectually; to establish a fund for the relief of sick and distressed members; to create a benefit fund for death benefits for widows and dependents of members; and to secure for its members free medical attendance, a sick benefit, a funeral benefit, a pension plan for members over the age of 70, and disability benefits. As membership grew, the scope of the IOF Foresters broadened into a family fraternity. Picnics, excursions, dances and Court meetings drew the members closer together and strengthened family ties. The IOF Foresters still exists today with most of its members located in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. So which actual “order” did the lodge in Roslyn belong? The only visual records of Roslyn’s Foresters organization is a very colorful and ornate framed certificate on the wall of the Roslyn Museum and the Foresters Cemetery. There is no record, nor known memory of any lodge in Roslyn. Whether the members had an actual meeting location is also not known at this time. The first burial, according to the tombstones still remaining, shows it to be in 1894 and the last in 1975. Only 56 names are listed on those markers. This cemetery is on the far west end of the Roslyn cemetery complex, on the Memorial Road, before one gets to the city yard-waste dump. Probably because of its location as much as anything it suffers more than its share of vandalism. Even today there are toppled tombstones and who knows how many have disappeared over the years? Hedwig Schubert Meneghel was buried here - in 1936 - as was her husband, Chris, (who was a brother to her first husband) two years later in 1938. There is a vacant stone footing next to Hedwig’s grave and Roslyn resident, Jim Enrico, believes it to be for Sebastian Bentolo Meneghel , b. 1836 – d. 1896. Hedwig’s son, George, married Pauline Feroglia, who was the mother to Jim Enrico. They were a German-Austrian Tyrol family and Hedwig was, as Enrico says, very German and a devout Catholic. The Meneghel name, though, is not a German name, but a northern Venetian name, a dialect from Venice Italy. Pauline’s father came from the Piedmont area of Italy when she was six months old, in 1885. Her father was a shoemaker and of the old school that believed that the father should choose the husbands for their daughters. George Meneghel was 11 years senior to Pauline and not a man she would have chosen for herself. However, her father chose him, and marry him she did. Pauline divorced him in 1920. Even after Pauline married Jim’s father she remained friends with the Meneghel family. Jim and his siblings always referred to Hedwig and Chris as Grandma and Grandpa Meneghel, even though they were no blood relation to them. The Meneghel family home was on Pennsylvania Avenue in Roslyn , near where the Roslyn Brewery stands today. Jim remembers that his favorite dishes his mother prepared she had learned from Grandma Meneghel who was an excellent cook. The stories from the Roslyn cemeteries is not so much how people were buried, but the stories of how they lived. The diversity of nationalities, languages, and customs in such a small area make this a treasure trove of stories.

Whether this is a certificate from Roslynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forester Lodge or not is unknown. It resides in the Roslyn Museum. Besides the motto around the stagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of Liberty, Benevolence, Concord and Unity, the inscription below reads: Brother John Sheldon, Past Chief Ranger Court of Roslyn #13, 5th Jan 1899, James Miller, Chief Ranger, Duncan Bell, Recording Secretary.

Roslyn’s IOOF (Oddfellows) Cemetery Karyne Sue Ware March 1988

In most small town cemeteries those who are buried there are not world-famous, nor will their lives be chronicled in history books. The tombstones that families and friends erect, often at financial hardship, is one way of saying, “Here lies the cherished remains of a person who lived, was loved and was important to us”. In many of Roslyn’s cemeteries there are monuments and parts of monuments that are irreplaceable. The age and fragility of the stones, the unavailability of photographs to replace vandalized icons, the lack of remaining family to shoulder the cost and responsibility of repairing or replacing damaged markers, these are but a few of the reasons why the violation and destruction of gravesites strikes a chord of anger and dismay within the community. Recently the IOOF Cemetery was just one of the cemeteries of Roslyn that played unwilling host to defilers. In Roslyn the International Order of Oddfellows was started in 1888, the same year they started their cemetery. The women’s counterpart, the Rebekah Lodge, was started one year later. The Oddfellows was a secret benevolent society that traces its beginnings to the early 1700’s in England. The name “Oddfellows” is explained as having been adopted at a time in history when the division between the classes was so wide that persons aiming at social union and mutual help, as the members of the Oddfellows did, were a marked exception to the general rule. Art Wallgren’s father was one of the Roslyn Lodge’s charter members. Mr. Wallgren, who still lives in Roslyn, says that the lodge disbanded shortly after the 1943 fire that destroyed the Knights of Pythias Hall. Records of all of the organizations which had used that as a meeting place were burned up, including those of the IOOF. The members could have demitted to the Ellensburg lodge, but most felt this was just too far from home. “The IOOF tenets set a high moral code. If we all lived by those teachings there would be no trouble in the world,” states Wallgren. Marie (Wagner) Pasa has good reason to remember the Oddfellows. Her father’s asthma forced him to give up his job on the railroad. For four years before his death, in 1932, he was paid the sickness benefit allowed him as a member of the IOOF. The amount was only one dollar per day, but the $30 that came in at the end of each month went a long way toward feeding the Wagner’s five children. After her mother died, in 1950, Marie’s sister bought the dual headstone which is in the shape of an open bible, one of two such markers in this cemetery. Work at Roslyn’s coal mines brought Chuck Ray’s father, Peter, and two uncles, Charlie and Tony Gnuva, from Italy. Mrs. Ray, nee Gnuva, died of cancer at age 39. She left a son, Chuck then age 12 and a daughter, Lucie then age 6. Her brother’s wife had died in childbirth so all three men moved into one house and proceeded to raise the children. Chuck, now the president of the local AARP chapter and living in Cle Elum, remembers it as a very good way to be raised. The family continued to live together and take care of one another until all three of the older gentlemen died. They are all buried in the IOOF Cemetery. This cemetery holds over 130 burials. It is one of the “abandoned” graveyards in that there is no one person nor group in charge of its upkeep. The most recent funerals were in the 1970’s and they were for descendants of those already buried there. Although there are some families still around to tend the plots of decreased loved ones, there are many more graves that have been neglected for years. Mother nature had been reclaiming the land until crews from the Roslyn Kiwanis Club and the Cle Elum High School local history class went to work removing trees and brush. People living in a small, out-of-the-way town like Roslyn, want to believe that they can trust their neighbors, that crime is a problem only in the big cities, far away. Many remember a time, not long ago, that houses weren’t locked against intruders and a respect existed for others and the belongings of others. Vandals were not tolerated.

103 Must the rites of passage for a few immature individuals include the destruction of those places civilized people revere? Perhaps the childish actions of grave desecraters comes about because of their fear for their own mortality. This may be an attempt to deny that they, too, one day will die. By assaulting the outward symbols of death they may hope to prove to themselves that death will not touch them. The increasing numbers of visitors to our museums and to our cemeteries points out the resurgence of the search for oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots. This might, in part, be attributed to the troubled times in which we live. For it is often that proof of a past that gives us hope for a future. The preservation of our cemeteries gives us that touch with our past and shows future generations that we are a civilized, caring people. May those who sought to destroy, see things in a new light and choose to become a positive part of this society.

Roslyn’s Knights of Pythias (KP) Cemeteries Karyne Strom Ware, February 1990 – updated 2005

The Order of Knights of Pythias (KP) was founded in 1864 to promote friendship among men and to help relieve people's suffering. This society was the first fraternal order to be given a charter under a special act of the United States Congress. It based its rituals on the story of Damon and Pythias. The story of Damon and Pythias is a story of honor and friendship. In the 4th century BC Pythias was condemned to death because he opposed Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse, in Sicily. He begged to be allowed to return home to say good-bye to his wife and child. Damon came forward and said he would die in place of Pythias if Pythias did not come back in time. Phythias did return as promised. Dionysius was so impressed with the honesty and friendship between the two men he pardoned them both. Not only does this group carry on charitable work nationally, but it also maintains homes for aged members and their wives and children. The chief governing body is the Supreme Lodge with the district grand lodges and local lodges below it. The organization has its own secret initiation and rites in which the Bible and the national flag play important parts. Welcome Lodge # 30 of the Knights of Pythias was chartered in Roslyn on November 15, 1887 with 39 chartered members. The lodge paid sick and burial benefits to members from the day of that charter. Harold Whitham remembers that when he joined the group the actual Bible that had been used to found the original order was brought to Roslyn for the initiation ceremony. It was called the “Rathbone” Bible after one of its founders. The late Candido Violetta was a lifetime member of the Roslyn K.P. His son, Ed, joined the organization after WWII and was active in the “Dokkes.” That was the fun part of the group, much as the Shriners are to the Masons. Besides offering friendship and fun, the entire K.P. order did charitable work. There is, to this day, a retirement center in Vancouver, WA that is open to any K.P. member and to any Phythian Sister. Any woman relative of a K.P. was eligible for membership in the Phythian Sisters. The Roslyn group was chartered on September 3, 1899 with 20 women as members. Whitham’s late wife, Flossie, was active not only in Roslyn, but went on to become the state secretary. She held this office for nine years and traveled extensively in that capacity. Sometime prior to 1890, Welcome Lodge #30 established a burial ground for its members adjacent to the Old City Cemetery. There are actually two KP cemeteries and both are located on the lower cemetery section on Memorial Road, near the western end of the cemetery complex. The Old KP is on the north side of the Memorial Road and the New KP directly across from it. The Old KP is neatly enclosed with a chain-link fence while the New KP is open and few graves are there. However, both cemeteries are neatly kept. Today, the oldest readable tombstones show there were many burials in 1892. Most of those were for the miners who were killed in the May 10, 1892 coal mine explosion in which 45 men perished. Some of the tombstones are engraved with replicas of knights in armor and are adorned with some of the symbols from the order. Doves, crossed swords and initials symbolizing the rituals known only to members are apparent. There is one stone that is shaped like the corner turret of a castle upon which is a coat-of-arms and the image of a knight. On some markers one sees the star formed by intertwined triangles with the legend “K of P” at its center. On others the initials “FCB” are found. These stand for the motto of the order: “Friendship, Charity, Benevolence.” As with many of Roslyn’s societies, a shrinking membership decided to give up its charter. The men disbanded in 1965. Several became members-at-large, attached to the Washington state lodge. The Phythian Sisters demitted to Ellensburg.

113 Mrs. Jack McSherry still traveled there in the late 1980s to enjoy meetings. Until her death in 1993 she oversaw the upkeep of the Old K.P. Cemetery. Her husband, two sons and a daughter-in-law were already buried there in the family plot. The cyclone fence, which was installed around the perimeter in the 1980s still serves to further set apart this cemetery from those nearby that have fallen to neglect. It is yet a well-kept sanctuary at the protected edge of the forest.

Roslyn’s Lithuanian Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - 1987 A search of several reference books reveals, finally: “Lithuania: Country N Central Europe bordering on the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea; a republic 1918-49, since 1940 a constituent republic of the USSR.” [Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary].Although almost forgotten as a country the Lithuanian people who settled in Roslyn have made a lasting mark on the community and their descendants still neatly maintain the Lithuanian Cemetery. That small part of the Roslyn Cemetery is this month’s feature. The cemetery was established in 1909 with the first recorded burial, of A.S. Stratsky, in October of 1910. This is the only old-world style monument here and the epitaph is in the native language. But it’s from most of the other 44 graves that Antenette Chernosky Mulvihill’s memory delivers anecdotes of Lithuanian friends and family in Roslyn. In 1920, eight year old Antenette’s four year old sister died. Her tombstone shows the surname Cernauskite, indicating this Cernauski was a child. Her father was buried in 1931 with the family name engraved as Cernauskas because he was a man. His widow followed him in death in 1935 and carries the woman’s variant, Chernaushiene on her marker. On the 16 year old brother’s stone the American spelling, Chernosky, can be seen. In 1930, after the deaths of the four year old and the 16 year old, for whom no burial insurance had been obtained, Antenette’s father signed the rest of the family up for lodge burial benefits. In the beginning -- 1907 -- eight men chartered the Lithuanian Alliance Lodge in Roslyn and conducted the rituals that time had established from abroad. As with many of those early organizations, burial benefits were made available to their members. Mrs. Marvin Mulvihill’s father was one of the charter members and she states that, since 1930, she has been paying $2.40 every three months which will net her heirs a flat $300.00 for her burial expenses, a sum once considered more than adequate. The Roslyn lodge has long since disbanded but the Lithuanian Alliance of America’s national office still accepts her $2.40 on a quarterly basis. Although a minority as a nationality in Roslyn, the Lithuanian Lodge is remembered by many of this town’s long-time residents as having sponsored the liveliest and most enjoyable dances and parties. The Alliance rented space at the Finn Hall which was located on the corner of 2nd and Oregon Avenue. (The hall was purchased by the Knights of Pythias for their use after their own burned down in 1943. The building was still in use until the winter of 1955-‘56 when a heavy snowfall caved the roof in. It was then torn down) Most of the events were put on as fund-raisers for the lodge’s projects. Mrs. Mulvilhill recollects that those events were always family oriented, with the children accompanying their parents to all parties and dances. In the early days a brick factory was located at the south end of Roslyn in which many of the Lithuanian men were employed. Some remember that every brick going out of this factory was branded with the Roslyn name. Lithuanian names can still be seen in the cement of some of the early sidewalks from those who worked on the construction jobs. These cemetery articles are endeavoring to inform and to preserve, for later generations, not only the dying, but more that the living was like in this special region. Each burial plot has its own story, some recalled by someone still on this earth, others lost to living memory. Mrs. Mulvihill and her sister, Anne Lower, are probably the only two persons in Roslyn who know the exact whereabouts of a child’s unmarked grave at the corner of their cemetery. Even when they were children they did not know that child’s name; but they knew it was that of a small child and would put wildflowers on it. Except for very occasional help from the relatives of the deceased the care given at the Lithuanian Cemetery is done by the Mulvihills. They remember when each family would care for its own and many times there were gatherings of grave tenders caring for their departed’s resting place and relating incidents of happy times to one another. Now Marvin and Antenette keep the lawn mowed, the

123 gravesites weeded and attempt to keep the picket fence in repair, a job made difficult by vandals. When asked who would take over this task of love when they were no longer able they could only hope that a community volunteer effort would be made to continue the upkeep.

Update to the Lithuanian Cemetery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2004 information gleaned from the Internet on 12/11/2004 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; [KSW]

Lithuania is a small plot of land at the Baltic Sea. Lithuania as a state emerged in early thirteenth century after the union of the main lands. At the end of fourteenth and the beginning of the fifteenth century Lithuania became one of the most powerful states in the Eastern Europe. For nearly two centuries German crusaders invaded the pagan state, though Lithuania was not conquered. Lithuanians fought bravely for their state and religion. They built castles which are admired even today for their defensive construction. In 1410 united armies of Great Dutchty of Lithuania and Poland inflicted a severe defeat to the Teutonic Knights in defense of their liberty. At the same time the Great Dutchty of Lithuania stood in the way of the attacks of the Mongols-Tatars into the West and helped the Eastern European nations to fight against the Golden Horde. In 1569 the Union of Liublin, sealed the Poland-Lithuania Union into a Commonwealth (Rzecspospolita), while later in the seventeenth century Lithuania became one of its three provinces. After partitioning of the Commonwealth in 1795, Lithuania was incorporated into Russia. For more than one century Lithuania fought against tsarist oppression. Only on February 16, 1918 Lithuania proclaimed the act of independence and restoration of statehood. Soon afterwards the independent state of Lithuania was recognized by the largest states of the world and Europe. Lithuania established diplomatic relations with many of them. Only 22 years were allowed for the independent state of Lithuania. In 1940 the Soviet Union occupied Lithuania. The occupants subjugated the nation's liberty and existence. The Lithuania nation fought bravely against the occupants for their independence, although they were outnumbered. The desire for independence was not subdued by the fifty-year occupation. Alongside with dissolution of the Soviet Union, the last colonial empire of the world, on March 11, 1990 Lithuania proclaimed its restoration of statehood. Diplomatic relations were renewed with many of the world's countries. The old clock of the Cathedral tower strikes the hours counting the time of freedom. Every morning the sounds of this clock are transmitted by radio. A new day begins. One should mention the Lithuanian scientists, architects and restorers, who returned to life a number of historical and architectural monuments, especially in the Old Town district of Vilnius - the largest in the Eastern Europe. Lithuania has 14 schools of higher learning and among them the oldest University in the East Europe - the Vilnius University, founded in 1579. Lithuania Language is important for those who study origin of languages. It differs from other modern Indo-European languages for its archaism. A large Centre of Baltic philology is established in Vilnius and the Lithuanian language is taught in many countries of the world.

The Mulvihillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from the Lithuanian Cemetery story. A few months after the interview for this story Marvin was stuck by a car while crossing a street in Cle Elum. The same intersection where Antenetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was killed in the same manner in 1931. Cemetery upkeep responsibility is now shouldered by their family.

Tombstone in Lithuanian Cemetery

127

After the article on the Lithuanian Cemetery was printed in the local Newspaper (NKC Tribune 1988) the local undertaker told Antenette Mulvihill that he wished to place a stone to mark the burial place of the child she had talked about. This is that tombstone. It is located in front of the Mulvihillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravesite.

Roslyn’s Masonic Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - February 1988

Though, by 2,222’ high Roslyn’s standards, this is a mild winter, there is at least a foot of snow on the still higher upper slopes of the Roslyn cemeteries. In the far northeast corner a majestic fir tree spreads its boughs and shelters the dozen graves below from the elements. Tombstones here and in the surrounding enclosure are substantial. The people buried here were, in life, affluent. The names displayed are mostly Welsh and English, those of the management class in the coal mining days of Roslyn. This is the Masonic Cemetery, another page in the history of upper Kittitas County. While these people were relatively well-to-do, there is in the very nature of their Masonic/Eastern Star membership, a spirit of noblesse oblige. To quote from a Masonic text: “A Mason is a man of benevolence and charity, not setting down contented while his fellow creatures are in want, when it is in his power to relieve them.” St. Thomas Lodge #54 F&AM was chartered in Roslyn in 1888. Records tell of a Masonic burial section inside the Old City Cemetery prior to the establishment of a separate cemetery of their own, directly across the road. Although that incorporation date is not available, the earliest gravestones show burial here began in 1886. 1921 the cornerstone was laid for the Masonic Hall in Roslyn. Completed in 1929, this landmark building is still in use at #21 Pennsylvania Avenue. The upstairs meeting rooms now house the Vose School of the Dance and the Ember Players Community Theater. The Roslyn Post Office has been operating out of the downstairs corner continuously since 1937. An early influential Mason was Dr. E. C. Heston. He was chief surgeon for the Roslyn/Cle Elum Beneficial Association., a health benefit arm of the NWI Mining Company, from 1914. He drowned above Lake Cle Elum in May of 1929. Robert Bell, Sr. was among those who searched the waters of the lake which yielded the body a day or so later. Bell’s daughter, Margaret Danubio, now of Cle Elum, says the doctor’s body was transported back to Roslyn, sitting upright in one of the search party member’s car. Masonic funeral services were held upstairs in the newly completed Masonic Hall. As a large crowd assembled to pay respects, someone downstairs looked up to see the ceiling bowing downward in an alarming manner. The mourners were quickly and quietly led out of every available exit. Support pillars were installed shortly thereafter and remain in place today. By the mid-1970s a declining membership voted to sell the building and in 1978 demitted and merged with Cle Elum Masons. After paying off some outstanding bonds from the $13,000 received from the sale of the Roslyn building, a bond was purchased, the interest from which was earmarked for the maintenance of the cemetery. There is no special section for Masons in the Cle Elum Memorial Park Cemetery and the work on the grounds of Roslyn’s is done by volunteering members of the Cle Elum St. Thomas Lodge #139 F&AM. There are few plots available in this place of nearly 140 graves. The last interment was in 1980 when J.S. McGovern was placed beside his wife, Kate, who preceded him in 1971. Local Masons provide funeral rites for those whose families so wish. This service of love and respect requires a minimum of 10 participants though a full service requires 16. The composer of one of the poems which is a part of the Masonic funeral ceremony could very well have been writing about that place reserved for the departed Masons resting in Roslyn when he wrote: There is a calm for those who weep, A rest for weary pilgrims found; They softly lie and sweetly sleep, Low in the ground! Low in the ground! The storm that wracks the winter sky, No more disturbs their deep repose. Than summer evening’s latest sigh, That shuts the rose! That shuts the rose! Ah, mourner! Long of storms the sport, Condemn’d in wretchedness to roam, Hope thou shalt reach a sheltering port, A quiet home! A quiet home! The sun is like a spark of fire, A transient meteor in the sky: The soul, immortal as its sire, Shall never die! Shall never die!

130 Update 2005: The Masons are one of a few lodges that have title to their cemetery. Nick Henderson, twice a Grand Master of Cle Elum St. Thomas Lodge #139 F&AM, states that there is ample room for more burials. The people who were members of Roslynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Thomas Lodge #54 F&AM get first choice, though other Masons are also eligible to purchase burial plots here. The majestic trees mentioned in the 1988 article had to be removed. The roots were invading burial plots. In their place the Masonic symbol has been erected.

Roslyn’s Memorial Gardens Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - February, 2005

This is the third cemetery for the city of Roslyn, which was opened in 1977. First there was the Old City Cemetery. When there was no more space they acquired the land to the east of the Veterans Cemetery. This also filled, creating the need for this one, named ‘Memorial Gardens’. Currently – 2005 – this is the only cemetery for which the City of Roslyn guarantees perpetual care. The pictures in this file were taken with a digital camera, in the most part, in December 2004 (the snow was rare that year) and into 2005. The pictures show the new method - laser inscribed into the stone - of iconography, almost impervious to vandalism. Kimberly Edgar’s picture which was the icon technology at the time of her death is of the old-style method. Her stone, by the way, is of blue pearl marble and is one of just a few in all of the Roslyn cemeteries. Note, too that the newer engravings reflect more about the person’s interest in life rather than where they’ll be in death.

Kimberly’s mother tells of a “mother’s worst nightmare”. She had been very protective of her daughter and didn’t allow her to run ‘wild’. On the first night she allowed Kimberly to go out in a car with friends of her own age – 30 minutes after she left the house – Kimberly was killed in a car wreck. Her blue-pearl marble tombstone is one of a very few blue-pearls in the Roslyn cemetery complex

Roslyn’s Moose Lodge Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - October 1988

In 1888 a Kentucky doctor organized a fraternal order with intent to merge the spirit of fun with social respectability. His idea took fire and there were soon lodges in several states. However, the fraternity began to fade from lack of real purpose and leadership. In 1906 there were only three lodges in the U.S. Then, from the blast furnaces of Pennsylvania came a steel maker who saw the possibilities of building this into something that working men would want to join. He felt that fellowship meant more than just socializing. Service to neighbors and community must be a part of that fellowship. Thus, under James Davis’ leadership the Loyal Order of Moose grew. Now, with more than 20,000 lodges in the U.S. the organization has earned its place with the nation’s top fraternal organizations. Upper Kittitas County had at least two Moose Lodges, possibly more. The Supreme Lodge in Mooseheart, Illinois has two area charters on file. One is for Cle Elum Lodge 1371 dated July, 1925 and another is for Roslyn Lodge 1644 dated October, 1926. Cle Elum had 90 charter members and Roslyn had 50. The first to sign up in Roslyn was John Segota. Daughter, Katherine Liboky, remembers how enthused her father was about getting the Moose Lodge started here. “The ‘Bohunks’ felt that the Moose was a big-shot ‘Johnny Bull’ group. The only one better was the Masons, and as good Catholics, they couldn’t join the Masons”, Katherine states. She recalls that she and her sister would entertain at Moose Lodge meetings with skits she had written. Katherine was 12 years old at the time and says that “those old people” really acted as if the skits were wonderful.” John Segota was especially impressed with Moosehaven, a Florida retirement center for aged Moose members. He talked of going there to live when he got old. He never left Roslyn, however, and is buried in St. Barbara’s Cemetery here. In the group of Roslyn cemeteries there is a cemetery that is designated as the Moose Cemetery. There are approximately 50 graves there. Situated directly above the beautifully maintained Veteran’s Cemetery, the Moose section gives one a feeling of abandonment and neglect. Those descendants remaining in the area are elderly and the upkeep of a cemetery is difficult for them. The in-laws of Mary Musso, a widow now residing in Cle Elum, are buried at the Roslyn Moose site, although none of them were members of the lodge. Mary says that a brother-in-law was an active member in a lodge on the coast. It was at his behest that the family plot is located here. One of the mysteries about this cemetery is that there are burials dating from 1917, nine years before the only known Roslyn Moose Lodge was chartered. The parents of Clifford Erb, a Roslyn resident, are buried in the Moose section. His father died in 1921 and Clifford says that his father was definitely a Moose member. He remembers the unique headgear his father wore to lodge meetings. A trophy which is engraved from a Roslyn parade held on July 4, 1914 was donated by an unknown person to the Roslyn Museum. It sits in the front window with a sign which identifies it as having been won by the Roslyn Moose Lodge for having the largest marching group in the parade. Was there an earlier Moose Lodge? Perhaps there was one that wasn’t officially chartered? The questions raised by the discrepancies in dates are many. At this time there are still two of the 1926 charter members living in Roslyn. One of them, Steve Milos, says that the Moose was a good organization. But there were so many organizations to join that he finally had to narrow his memberships down and the Moose was the one he gave up. So he was a member for just a couple of years. In April of 1931 both Cle Elum and Roslyn Moose Lodges merged with Ellensburg. That lodge is still a thriving organization.

155 Both Erb and Milos state that they doubt if any of the Roslyn Moose members opted to drive all of the way to Ellensburg to regularly attend meetings. In those earlier days travel was not as fast nor as easy as it is today. The historical cemeteries of Roslyn have become one of the principle tourist attractions. On any day one can see a steady stream of visitors reading the informational kiosk and wandering throughout the complex. A section for the Moose, an organization which was revitalized by a working man, is most appropriate in a community of working people. As to the future care of the Roslyn Moose Cemetery, that will fall to volunteer groups.

A note about the following copies of documents: Copies of the Moose Lodge Charters were sent to me in 1988. I held on to these until 1998 when I turned all documents I had at that time over to the local museum. A few years later I realized I should have copies until I put everything together as I am doing now. Unfortunately the back page of the 1926 Charter is missing. That was the page on which the 50 names of the new members were listed. If anybody is interested in obtaining that list they can probably do so by writing to the Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose at the addresses shown on the following documents.

161 From: Publicity Department Loyal Order of Moose Mooseheart, Illinois

[information provided in 1988]

THE MOOSE FRATERNITY The Loyal Order of Moose began on a spring day in 1888 in Louisville, KY., apparently for no more reason than Dr. John Henry Wilson, a 52-year-old physician wanted to organize a group of his friends into a fraternal order. Wilson was a devoted member of one fraternal order and had viewed with interest the organization of another recently organized benevolent order. This latter group had re-introduced into fraternalism the long-absent spirit of play and had given it a cachet that it never had before. While he was devoted to the one, Wilson also liked what he had seen of the new. It was his idea in organizing the Moose to create a fraternity which would combine the features he liked best in both. For a while the fraternity prospered and member lodges in adjoining states of Illinois and Indiana were established. But the attributes of this young fraternity were not enough to nurture its growth and it did not have the leadership which would have added the necessary “Know How” to make it prosper. The Order began to fade until, in 1906, there were only three lodges with a total membership of 246. Then a “dreamer” James J. Davis, an iron puddler from the blast furnaces of Pennsylvania and Indiana, was introduced to the fraternity. He immediately saw the possibilities of building this crumbling structure by adding something that would be an incentive for the working men to join. He conceived the idea of Mooseheart, a “Child City” where the sons and daughters of deceased members might be cared for, educated and trained in a vocation. He reasoned that fellowship meant much more than fraternizing with your fellow man. It meant, he said, “helping your fellow man in time of need, to assist him over the rougher spots of life’s road.” Davis argued that one of the fundamental purposes to the Loyal Order of Moose should be to bring together men who would be espoused to teaching of service. His ideas caught fire and soon member lodges were springing up all over the nation. Membership grew apace until 1913 Mooreheart’s cornerstone was laid. Mooseheart in that day was not the model “City of Children” with more than 100 attractive buildings surrounded by spacious green lawn that one sees today. Mooseheart on that day was a circus tent pitched in a field. Thomas R. Marshall, then Vice President of the United States, dedicated the community with these words: “Thank God that here on this sacred day, humanity has again proved its right to be called the children of the Most High, has reached out its hand in love and loyalty to the needy brother and has disclosed not only the right but the duty of the great Order to exist.” Only nine years later, when Mooseheart has developed from a farm land into a modern and growing community, the Moose founded its home for the aged, Moosehaven, on the banks of the St. John’s River at Orange Park, 14 miles south of Jacksonville, Fla. The buildings, designed for comfortable living for the aged, form a spacious community near the water’s edge. It is here that aged members of the Moose and their wives spend the twilight years of their lives. Because Moosehaven makes every effort to provide security, comfort and happiness it has become known as the “City of Contentment.” In recent years, the Moose has launched a nation-wide civic affairs program. Believing that man can attain no higher destiny than service to his fellow man, the Moose has developed an extensive program of activities for the betterment of local communities throughout the nation.

162 Special emphasis has been placed on youth activities in providing broad and wholesome avenues of recreation for the Moose fraternity. The Golden Rule has become the axiom of the Moose fraternity. It is a long, long way from Louisville in 1888 to the Mooseheart of the present day. Those who set upon the journey in Louisville could never have known where it would lead. Mooseheart is a miracle; Moosehaven is no less a one – both miracles wrought by men and women of good will with the help and guidance of god. THE MOOSE -- AMERICA’S LEADING FRATERNAL SERVICE ORGANIZATION The Loyal Order of Moose has earned public recognition as America’s leading fraternal service organization by compiling an outstanding record of community service. Moose civic affairs activities are designed for the public good and every one of the more than 2,000 lodges in the Moose Domain is encouraged to sponsor community service projects which will make their communities a better place to live and rear children. Dedicated to the betterment of humanity, the Moose Fraternity actively supports national health battles. These include the March of Dimes, work n behalf of the crippled children, Muscular Dystrophy, Heart Fund, Cancer Crusade, Cerebral Palsy, CARE, Inc., Epilepsy Foundation and others. In connection with most of these fund raising projects, the Moose Protectors plan is a unique method by which the lodes provide protection for volunteer workers while they solicit contributions. “Youth Honor Day,” recognized in most of the states either by executive or legislative action, has played an important role in the elimination of acts of vandalism at Halloween. “Operation Santa Claus” in which the lodges collect toys and distribute them to needy children has been responsible for providing many a child with a “Toyful” Christmas. It is estimated that more than a million toys are distributed each year. Moose Lodges are active in the field of traffic safety. A great number have sponsored the Moose Child Safety Crusade, sponsored automobile safety check lanes, the Moose bicycle safety plan and have erected “Protect our Children” signs on the nation’s highways. Special emphasis is placed on community services activities for children. Junior athletics is extremely popular and include such projects as the various organized baseball leagues, junior bowling, football, basketball, swimming and hockey. Moose supports of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts continues to grow with Moose Lodges sponsoring more and more troops each year. Moose-sponsored teenage clubs have also experienced a substantial growth. Authorities have enthusiastically approved these projects as effective weapons in combating juvenile delinquency. New and very effective projects are constantly being added to the Moose Community Services program. “Project Identification” recently added to the program is a means of inscribing all personal effects, either for the automobile or the home, with the various police departments. The idea is established as a deterrent to break-ins of homes and automobiles. Other Moose-sponsored civic affairs projects include Golden Age Clubs for those in the twilight years of their lives, work in behalf of hospitals, blood banks, cooperation with civil defense agencies and fire prevention and safety to mention a few. In addition, almost every lodge sponsors individual projects geared to fit the needs of the area in which it is located.

163 Lodges throughout the Moose Domain are making substantial contributions to the welfare of their respective communities by providing the initiative, organization and manpower for worthwhile civic affairs program. 1-21-2002 information from the Internet provides the following: MOOSEHEART CHILD CITY & SCHOOL is a residential childcare facility, located on a 1,000-acre campus 38 miles west of Chicago. The Child City is a home for children and teens in need, from infancy through high school. Dedicated in July 1913 by the Moose fraternal organization, MOOSEHEART cares for youth whose families are unable, for a wide variety of reasons, to care for them. Some have lost one or both parents; others are living in environments that are simply not conducive to healthy growth and development. Whatever the reason, the men and women of the Moose, through unparalleled generosity and volunteerism, furnish the resources necessary to care for children in need. The Moose fraternity provides children with a wholesome home-like environment and the best possible training and education. Children live in one of thirty residences designed like a spacious single-family residence. Each is home for six to twelve children. The heart of the program is Family Teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; providing a consistent, systematic method of care, with emphasis on social-skills development â&#x20AC;&#x201D; skills essential for success in later life. It is Mooseheartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy to admit qualified children who have a need. The Admissions Committee considers all applications of children in need. MOOSEHAVEN is a 63-acre community owned and operated by the Moose organization for its members and their spouses. It is located on the banks of the St. John's River in Orange Park, Florida, 15 miles south of Jacksonville, Florida.

After the 1913 founding of Mooseheart, the Moose organization's famed "Child City" for children in need, the fraternity turned its attention to plans for a home for its dependent retired members. Before Moosehaven was established, a number of elderly persons resided at Mooseheart, for a short period, but this was deemed an unsatisfactory solution. The Moose originally bought a resort hotel on 26-acres at Orange Park; and, on November 1, 1922, Moosehaven was formally opened. The first 22 residents were those who had been living at Mooseheart. They set up housekeeping in the hotel which had been renamed Aid Hall. From the beginning, much of the work necessary to keep Moosehaven running has been done by those who live there. And still today, as they are able, residents serve as their own gardeners, housekeepers, kitchen helpers, mail carriers, dining room helpers, and maintenance crew. With land purchases, Moosehaven essentially grew to its current acreage by the 1960s. Since World War II, all of the original buildings have been replaced; during the 1990s most residential facilities were again thoroughly renovated or rebuilt - notably by the Ohio and Florida/Bermuda Moose Associations and the Women of the Moose. The physical plant today consists entirely of modern buildings designed and built to provide pleasant and comfortable accommodations, recreation, and care.

164 Each of the buildings in which Moosehaven people reside is a self-contained home with its own sleeping and living rooms, kitchen, and dining room. The $16 million Life Care Center, completed in 2002, and designed and equipped for the needs of senior care, provides space for 170 beds and has its own therapy department, x-ray, laboratory, and pharmacy. It also boasts six dayrooms, a chapel, library, beauty salon and barbershop, and arts and crafts room. It is a fourbuilding, interconnected, 130,000-sq.ft. complex offering state-of-the-art assisted-living care at various levels. Thanks to the New York State Moose Association, Moosehaven residents also enjoy the fully equipped New York Exercise Center, completed in 1997, with indoor pool and bowling lanes, and worship in their own beautiful New York Chapel, built in 1972 at the center of campus. The bright, gracefully designed house of worship is served by Moosehaven's own Catholic and Protestant chaplains. Celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2002, Moosehaven, the "City of Contentment," makes every effort possible to provide security, comfort, and peace of mind to qualified Moose men and women of retirement age.

Roslyn’s Mt. Olivet (Black Miners) Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - June 2002

July 14, 2002 marks the anniversary of one of the largest funeral processions ever to march through the streets of Roslyn. Block after block of marchers led the way to Mt. Olivet Cemetery – one of 26 of the historic Roslyn Cemeteries complex. U.S. Forest Service personnel from all areas of the state marched somberly and silently in great numbers. They joined hundreds from the community to pay their respect to the memory of one of their own – Roslyn native Tom Craven, who perished July 10, 2001 while fighting the Thirymile Fire in the Okanogan National Forest. Tom Craven [January 12, 1971- July 10, 2001] left a wife and two small children. His father, Willie, is at his gravesite every day. Willie has created a monument to his son and to the other three young people from Tom’s crew who also perished while fighting the “Thirtymile Fire”. Willie’s two brothers, Wesley and Nathaniel, have worked with Willie to make it a place where people can come, sit and enjoy the peace and quiet and pay tribute to the bravery of four young people. Willie’s wife, Virginia (Smith) Craven was also born in Roslyn. She and Willie married in 1966 and created a racially-blended family, as have other members of the Craven family. Willie and Virginia’s blending produced six children, the second of which was Tom. The caretaker of Mt. Olivet is Tom’s father William (“Willie”), whose father, Sam, tended the site before him. Sam passed away in 1969 and the two-acre cemetery received little all-over care until Willie decided to shoulder the responsibility around 1983. By that time it was so overgrown that few of the tombstones were even visible. In order to be able to clean it up and to almost single-handedly continue its maintenance, Willie found it necessary to bring in equipment to move all but the most prominent markers to the back of the site. So, while there are only 43 tombstones still in their original place, there are over 200 graves in Mt. Olivet. Willie states that he can tell where each one is located, if not whose remains are in those Willie’s mother, Ethel Williams Craven, was born in Roslyn in 1906, daughter of Dave and Harriet Williams, both of whom came to Roslyn in 1888. They, and many Black Americans were recruited from the Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Illinois coal mines to take the place of striking Roslyn miners who had shut down local coal mine operations. Besides raising 12 children, many grandchildren and caring for the elderly, Mrs. Craven was the records-keeper for the [then] Black Miners’ Cemetery, as was her mother before her. Whenever a family had need for a burial site Mrs. Craven collected the money, assigned the spot and noted it all in her records. It is unfortunate that the whereabouts of those records is no longer known. A few years before her death in 1993, persons from (as Willie remembers) either a state agency or a historical organization from the ‘West Side’ of the Cascades came to interview Ethel Craven. She allowed them to take her records for copying and never saw them or the records again. Black Americans numbered around 350 in Roslyn in 1889. That number fell to 111 in 1910 and to 68 by 1970. Today mostly members of the Craven family still reside in the area. Ethel Craven taught her children to be productive members of the community. Over the years they have had many honors, becoming sports stars, a school teacher and

170 even a mayor. Willie Craven was the first Black American mayor in the state of Washington in 1975 and served Roslyn in that capacity until 1980. Mrs. Craven also gave them a respect for Black history. In the 1970s one of her daughters revived the Emancipation Day celebration, which dated back to 1890 in Roslyn. It is now called Black Pioneers Day and a picnic is held in the park every year in Roslyn on the first Saturday in August. Willie states that the picnic is not only for Black Americans. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to bring a potluck dish to share. Additional cemetery information This cemetery has had other names. It has been referred to as the Old Black Cemetery, or the Black Miner's Cemetery. It was rededicated Aug 5, 1995 as Mount Olivet Cemetery. Prince Hall Masons of the Washington Jurisdiction, were responsible for the masonry work and the white crosses, plus other costs to make the renewal of the cemetery possible, and continue to assist with maintenance of the cemetery, along with the Craven brothers.

Ethel Craven Mrs. Ethel Craven, 86, Roslyn, died Friday, May 14, 1993 at her home. She was born June 9, 1906 in Roslyn to Dave and Harriet (Jackson-Taylor) Williams, who came to Roslyn on September 30, 1888 with the second trainload of Black miners, families and friends. Ethel Williams-Craven attended schools in Roslyn. In 1921 she married Bill McClain but they later divorced. On April 19, 1924 she married Samuel L. Craven, a coal miner who was born in Texas. She and Sam were married 45 years when he died July 12, 1969. They were the parents of 14 children, six of whom are now deceased. She not only raised these children but many grandchildren as well, and also took in and cared for the elderly. She was noted for other important accomplishments. She was named Upper Kittitas County (Roslyn, Cle Elum, South Cle Elum and Ronald) Mother of the Year in the 1970s. In 1983, she was chosen as the Upper Kittitas County Pioneer Days Queen.

In 1987, a photograph of her (taken by neighbor Barbara Witt in 1981) was chosen by Parade Magazine and Fuji Film’s “We The People” Bicentennial nationwide photo contest to be featured in a traveling Bicentennial of the Constitution exhibit and is now on permanent display. Her photo was one of 100 chosen out of 130,000 entries. She was an Honorary Vice President of the Roslyn-Northwest Black Pioneers and proudly rode on their float in every parade the last three years. Mrs. Craven was instrumental in preserving the history of the Roslyn Black pioneers and their descendants and for this she as honored by the Prince Hall Masons, Black Heritage Society and, in 1988, was the honored guest and speaker of Seattle’s Bon Marche celebration of Black History. She was the mother of the first Black Mayor in Washington State, William Craven, Mayor of Roslyn 1975-1980. Survivors include five daughters, Gertrude Hightower, Harriet Joyce Greenwood, Linda (Jimmie)Lee Cornelius, Kanashibushan and

173 Ethel Craven-Sweet; three sons, Wesley, William and Nathaniel Craven; two cousins, Beatrice Dillard and Dorothy Carr and family, Chicago, Ill.; a niece, Ruth Brown , Oakland, Calif.; and a host of grandchildren, great grandchildren (a total of more than 100 descendants); and many, many friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Sam, daughters Georgia Frances Craven, Beulah Hart, Louella Jefferson and Leola Mae Woffort; and sons Van and Sammy Craven.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Mr. Pisgah Presbyterian Church in Roslyn. Burial was in Mt. Olivet (Black Miners) Cemetery also in Roslyn. The family has suggested memorials to Roslyn Northwest Black Pioneers, 2319 Talbot Crest Dr. S., Renton, WA 98055. Printed in the NKC Tribune, Cle Elum, WA May 20, 1993

Roslyn’s New City Cemetery By Karyne Strom Ware February 11, 2005

The City of Roslyn has no records of the burials in the New City Cemetery, just the plot map of who owns which plots. The tombstones indicate one burial (at least the date of death) for Mary Popovich in 1912 and one for William Popovich in 1920. One more burial date was in 1924 and then there are no more tombstone dates until the mid-1930s. From that time until the newest of the Roslyn City cemeteries, Memorial Gardens, opened in 1977, those people who weren’t buried in the lodge cemeteries were interred here. In 1956, 16 year-old Richard Rogalski was killed in a car accident. His parents, Dr. and Mrs. Floyd Rogalski wanted to bury him in the Polish Cemetery, as that was the family nationality. Whomever was in charge at the Roslyn City office informed them that they couldn’t do that as there was no Polish Cemetery. The area the Rogalskis were referring to was the “Paupers Cemetery”, according to the official. They learned later that they had been misinformed. The “Pauper’s Cemetery (Old County Cemetery) was directly east of the Polish Cemetery, but by then they had purchased a family plot in the New City Cemetery and buried Richard. “The city missed a good thing on that”, states Mrs. “Bea” Rogalski. “We would have created a family plot and that Polish Cemetery would have been a place of beauty,” she added. The Rogalskis had seven children and lived a few blocks down the hill from the Old City and Masonic Cemeteries. Bea says she would take her children up there often. They would clean up pine needles and make the area cleaner. “Where I come from, the cemeteries are beautiful,” she says. She wanted her children to learn that it was a civic responsibility to help keep the Roslyn cemeteries as nice as possible. The Rogalski family came here from Michigan in the early 1940s and the doctor went into private practice with Dr. Mooney in Roslyn. Between that practice, and contracting medical services to the NWI (coal mining company), he was a busy man. He stayed on in Roslyn after Dr. Mooney retired, then moved his practice to Cle Elum when Dr. Brown left the area. They sold the family home in Roslyn and moved to South Cle Elum. Dr. Rogalski, his widow still refers to him as “Doctor”, suffered a heart attack in the late 1980s and had to retire from medicine. He died in 1987 and was buried next to his son, Richard. Bea says they bought enough room to bury eight people. She is grateful that, so far, only two of her family have gone. This cemetery is located directly east of the Veteran’s Cemetery and west of Memorial Gardens. There is no city-provided perpetual care for any Roslyn cemetery other the Memorial Gardens. It remains for families and volunteers to keep this cemetery in good repair. Except for the bushes nearly obscuring the cemetery name board, it is a neat and well kept place. A place where families decorate the graves with the seasons. There are as many red Christmas wreaths and ribbons in December as there are flowers in the spring and summer.

Roslyn’s Old City Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware March, 15 2005

The earliest remaining tombstone in the Old City Cemetery shows a burial date of 1880 for Paulina Jadro. However, there is no known record of when burials really started here. In fact, the City of Roslyn today cannot locate a deed to the property. Like so many of the transactions in the pioneering days of this area, record keeping was not a high priority. Those were the days when a handshake constituted a contract. Even when documents were officially recorded those were on paper. So those record books were susceptible to fires and any manner of disaster, and files were lost or destroyed. When most of the local lodges were active they held their meetings in the KP (Knights of Pythias) Hall, which was located on 2nd Street where Inland Telephone and R & R Cable are now located. The meeting hall was upstairs and the Rose Theater was downstairs. In 1943 the building burned to the ground. Thus, all of the records the lodges had kept there were lost in the fire. There may be no record of just when the Old City Cemetery was started nor just when the first burial took place, but burials are still allowed here. However, only if they are cremains of an individual whose family plot is already located in this cemetery. One of those took place in 2002 when 91 year old Anna Piirainen’s remains joined those of her mother who was interred in 1930. From available records, family input and remaining readable tombstones, the names of 318 people are shown as having been buried here. That number is far from an accurate count of actual burials. There are so many obvious plots, many surrounded by cement curbing, that have no headstones. In 125 years of burials in this cemetery, many headstones, if they were ever erected in the first place, have disappeared. As there is a road that bisects this cemetery through the eastern section, there was also a road that cut off that road and headed west through the middle of the cemetery. Recently a car of visitors drove in to park. Their car became high-centered on an old unmarked grave and they had to seek help to have the car freed. That road is now blocked off. One may walk the entire area, but in the name of preservation, vehicles must stick to the main roads. Remnants of old fences, either wooden pickets or crumbling concrete, still surround some individual family plots. One of the reasons fences were used in the past when no grave liners – and sometimes even coffins – weren’t required, was to keep the wildlife from unearthing human remains as much as to identify a family site. The local high school history class, along with the Roslyn Kiwanis Club, took on the task, in the 1980s, of cleaning up many of the overgrown cemeteries. In the Old City they took special pride in building new fences to replace those that were crumbling. Now, many of those are falling into disrepair. Pine trees are plentiful in this cemetery, sometimes growing up through and engulfing family plots. Because of the numerous pines, the ground here is covered in pine needles. This requires constant raking into piles and hauling of those piles to the nearby city yard-waste dump. That work is mostly done by volunteers. When the Roslyn Kiwanis Club disbanded a few years ago, some of the members continued their Kiwanis membership with the Cle Elum Club. This group has an ongoing commitment to clean brush and pine needles, etc. from the cemeteries. This year, 2005, they plan to work with members if the Kiwanis Key Club – the young people’s arm of the Kiwanis – and Mike Muzzall’s high school woodshop students to replace some of the wooden grave plot fences. Thus, another generation of local kids becomes involved with, and will take pride in the ongoing preservation of this area. Of all of the Roslyn cemeteries, this place seems to be the most peaceful. On December 13, 2004 the Old City Cemetery was added to the Roslyn Register of Historic Places – acknowledging the importance of that site for preserving an important part of Roslyn’s history.

Roslyn’s Old County Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware – February, 1987

Before the U.S. Social Security Acts of the mid-1930s put the responsibility for social welfare at the state level, charity was dispensed by each county. Although allowing much less autonomy and dignity than the welfare programs of today, provisions were made to aid those unable or unwilling to care for themselves. That help often included the final act of charity; burial at taxpayer expense. There was a County cemetery in Roslyn. although few graves of the paupers remain and the property has become Veteran’s Cemetery property, the stories from ‘Potter’s Field’ are, nevertheless, a part of the history of the Roslyn Cemeteries. A man who, in the 1930’s, had been shot by a Roslyn woman is buried here as is one of Roslyn’s ‘sportin’ women’, Big Minnie Anderson. Her plain concrete marker shows only her name and year of birth, 1860, and of death, 1917. To this day flowers have been placed on Minnie’s grave every Memorial Day by one who has not come forward to claim credit. Roslyn native, Mrs. Emma Larson, tells of the burial of her late husband’s uncle. A bachelor logger, he lost a leg in a car accident. Unable to work or care for himself, he went to live on the county poor farm near Ellensburg. All counties had poor farms in those days. They were basically boarding houses in a rural setting at which a roof over one’s head and food were provided. Residents were expected to help with the chores to the limit of their physical capabilities. From time to time Mr. Larson would come to Cle Elum to sell pencils and small wares on the streets for his spending money. Emma doesn’t recall whether or not this man had lived in Roslyn before she married into the family. She thinks it possible that he had a “bach” as did many of the single men (bachelors) who worked in Roslyn. These “baches” were small, private living quarters built behind many Roslyn residences for rental income to the owners. Most men who planned to stay around for awhile preferred getting his own “bach” to that of living at one of the town’s two hotels. Besides the privacy of the living quarters many of these bachelors took meals with the home owners and, for a fee, the lady of the house would do the renter’s laundry. When Emma’s husband’s uncle died in the late ‘30s he was brought to Roslyn for burial. The family, like many caught up in the Great Depression, had no means to pay for a funeral. Mrs. Larson states that the embarrassment was hard on them all. The coffin was a shabby, mummy-shaped thing, made of cheap wood, painted black. It was so poorly constructed that one of the handles fell off while the pallbearers were carrying it to the gravesite. After that funeral, burial insurance was obtained by the rest of the family so they would never feel that humiliation again. Public funds still pay for burials, but not in Roslyn. The only burial grounds in this county which accept such interments are in Cle Elum and Ellensburg. The state allows only a flat fee, about half of regular rate, to both the cemetery and the mortician. From that amount, the funeral director must provide the coffin. Mr. Paul Cotton, owner of Cotton Chapel, notes there are very few charity burials in the Upper County. He states that there is a pride and independence in the people here that brings a resourcefulness in time of need. He says that he and associate, Ed Williams, love to serve the Upper County because the people are so gracious. One who rates high praise from both Cotton and Williams is Roslyn’s Joe “Buck” Kanyer. “Buck is our right arm. I can’t imagine what we’d do without him.” says Cotton. For the past couple of years Buck has been overseer for all burials in Roslyn’s cemeteries. He directs the grave digging crews and, until recently, set many of the tombstones himself. He has worked on and around the cemetery for over 30 years and has acted as pallbearer for countless funerals, many for friends and family. During 1986 he was a pallbearer 19 times. All grave openings are done by hand with a pick and shovel. Machinery was tried in the past, but the danger of damage to adjacent graves made the attempt too risky. Adult graves are 4 _’ to 6’ deep, depending on what’s under the surface. Jackhammers have been rented and used to get through the rock

204 and, on occasion, dynamite was necessary. Winter presents no major problem as snow insulates the ground from freezing, although the snow must be hand-shoveled to get to the ground. During winters the City of Roslyn snowplows make a swing up through the cemeteries to clear the roads whenever a burial is scheduled. They’ve made several trips up there this winter. Kanyer tells of his mother’s observation many years ago, that there are more deaths in a winter which is brownish and has sparse snowfall. Buck has mentally kept track and finds it to be so. He declared, “One of our duties in this life is to help those who can’t take care of themselves. Our friends and families are buried in these cemeteries and I feel honored to take care of their graves.” This stated attitude defines the meaning of charity as ‘benevolent goodwill toward the needy or suffering’ in its’ truest sense. It is, no doubt, this basic regional philosophy that has minimized the number of paupers burials here.

Update 2005: The Old County sign at this cemetery no longer stands. The posted sign now shows that the section is the Veterans #2 Cemetery and there are many of those burials here, two of which are for “Buck” Kanyer and his wife, Carol.

Roslyn’s Polish Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - June 1988 The diversity of most old mining towns is in the ethnic groups that comprised the labor force. The Polish immigrants in Roslyn were in such minority that very little has been recorded about them as a nationality. Since the only known formal Polish Society was chartered in Cle Elum (1904) and there is no designated place in that town’s cemetery for Poles, it is mystifying how a cemetery was established in Roslyn. But, exist it does, and it is now the feature in this series. One of the smaller of Roslyn’s 26 cemeteries, only 24 headstones are in evidence with some graves outlined but not otherwise marked. It is unique in that the graves here are laid out south to north. All other areas in the Roslyn Cemetery have west to east configurations. There is a recurring theory, in some circles, that it is beneficial to one’s health, therefore lucky, to sleep with one’s head to the north in life. It then follows that in death burial would be with the head to the south. As research has failed to establish the actual reason for this directional anomaly, it will be left to conjecture. Markers show the first burials were in 1905. There are five marked graves for that year. One ornate stone’s shape alludes to the gates of heaven and carries as do other stones here, the initials “S.P.” This, according to Walt Zrebiec, Cle Elum resident and member of the Polish Lodge there, translates from Polish to the equivalent of “Sainted Memory”. Two modified obelisks show markings on all four sides and appear to be a family history but it is not in Polish. Those born on the Lithuanian/Polish borders spoke both languages and, at least in this area, formed a close alliance with one another. The remembrances of Elmer Dalisky, now residing in Kent, indicate that all of the Poles of which he was aware, belonged to the Cle Elum Polish Lodge, which met in the upstairs of the Spankse building. He recalls the children being allowed at the dances and in the bar as long as they were with their parents. The lodge sponsored Polish language classes for the children which were held during the summers in one of CleElum High School’s classrooms. Mr. Dalisky’s grandparents, Adam and Anna Gladdus, are buried in Roslyn as is his uncle, John Gladdus. As a young man, John felt the mines of Roslyn were too dangerous a place to work so he quit in 1929 and became part of the crew building the Highline irrigation canal. He was killed a few weeks into the job when a dynamite explosion sent a large, head-crushing rock his way. While walking through the Polish Cemetery, one’s attention is drawn to a pristinely-white picket fence around the resting place of Francizkus Plzas (d.1908). It has been newly-installed through a cooperative project between the Roslyn Kiwanis and Fred Krueger’s Cle Elum High School local history class. They hope to replace all of the original, but now decayed, fences within the Roslyn Cemetery. Kiwanian Larry Spear and students Regan Schwerfeger, Mike Wells and Larry Susich work on the project. Though the cedar for the corner posts has been donated by Plum Creek Timber Company there is a continuing need for the donation of wood which can be made into pickets. Old _” floorboards are excellent for this purpose. The last funerals performed here were for the Hendrys (1975 & 1977), George and Kathryn (nee Gladdus). Their family plot had been obtained many years before their deaths, though from whom is uncertain. This raises the question about the future use of the cemetery. The local funeral director states he would be reluctant to place remains in an area for which official permission had not been obtained. He has no record of a contact for that cemetery as he does for all of the others. The City of Roslyn is unable to give permission to use any space that is not under the jurisdiction of the City. The Cle Elum Polish Lodge officers were unaware, until interviewed for his series, that a Polish cemetery even existed. Therefore, the presence of Polish migrants, many of whom came to Roslyn via the coal fields of Pennsylvania, in their cemetery will remain an enigma. NOTE: since the printing of this article in the Roslyn Kiwanis Journal, Ed Williams of Cotton Chapel in Cle Elum states that his establishment has now made a policy regarding this particular cemetery. If direct kinship to one of those already buried in the Polish Cemetery can be established, then burial of a newly-deceased individual may take place in that cemetery.

Update 2005: The burial of Piotr Skiba in 1997 brought an outcry from a few locals because they did not believe a burial should take place in a cemetery for which there was no organization or person(s) legally responsible for a cemetery. It was from this that the Roslyn Cemetery Ordinance 887 (2c) was voted into place in 1999. At this writing - February, 2005 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new ordinance is in the drafting stage and will no doubt take effect sometime in 2005. [KSW]

Roslyn’s Redmen Lodge Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware – June 1988

The most festive place in Roslyn on Memorial Day weekend is at the Roslyn cemetery complex. One sees people of all ages in the process of cleaning gravesites and beautifying them with masses of floral offerings. Older family members point out markers on headstones and relate to the youngsters what life was like in Roslyn when they, themselves, were children. There are cheerful “hello’s” and hugs offered to those who now live away from the area, but who have returned at this time of remembrance. One such group gathers at the Bianco family plot at the Redmen Lodge Cemetery. Bob Bianco was born in Roslyn but has not lived here since 1930 when his parents moved to the Renton area. Every year he has returned to Roslyn to tend the burial places of his ancestors. His wife and daughter accompany him in place of his parents. The Redmen Lodge and women’s counterpart, the Hiawatha Council - #4 Degree of Pocahontas, was chartered in Roslyn in 1898. The Redmen Order was organized to “Preserve American traditions” and to provide sickness, accident and burial benefits to members. Little is known now about what traditions were to be preserved or how that preservation would come about, or whether there is still a national Order of Redmen in existence, but the Roslyn group functioned until 1950 before disbanding. Roslyn native, Chris Malano, remembers that the official garb of the Order was moccasins, feather headdress and full buckskin suits for the men and buckskin dresses for the women. Both of her parents were members and her mother referred to the clothing as their uniform. No lodge officer was permitted to carry out the duties of their office if they weren’t in official garb. Chris also tells of a Lodge funeral she attended as a young girl. Not only did all of the members of the cortege march in full Lodge regalia behind the coffin, but the Lodge band played appropriate music through town and all of the way to the cemetery. There is an observation that the elaborate funeral services of yesteryear made death easier to accept and the time of grief shorter and more bearable. The Redmen Cemetery was started in 1899 with the first known burial taking place in 1900. There are currently 50 marked burial sites with headstones in place. There are a few unmarked graves that are clearly identifiable as burial places. Mrs. Malano’s family, the Barras, are buried in the Redmen Cemetery, brothers, Martin and Joseph, and her parents, Pancraziso and Marianna (nee Salvetto). So, too is her husband George, who died in 1966. She and her daughter, Donna Susich, selected the Redmen over the cemeteries they were entitled to, not only because of the prior burials of the Barras, but because of the site’s location near the main road. In life, George dearly loved to visit with anyone walking past his home. His wife and daughter like to feel that he would enjoy the many visitors who stop by his well-tended grave to read the markers and to feel the peace of the place. Though the Redmen Cemetery has no “official” person-in-charge it is well cared for. Chris Malano has made a small garden under the large pine tree at the cemetery entrance by circling it with stones and planting flowers that bloom at different times of the years. Her grandsons, Roy and Larry Susich keep the lawn mowed and the weeds down. Both of the Susich boys have been part of the high school history class cemetery project. Roy helped to rebuild some of the first fences to be replaced in the Old City Cemetery. George Bernard Shaw, dramatist and writer, went on record as being sure that death was no time for weeping. “The instinct that makes people place flowers is a right instinct”, he wrote. “The inculcated notion that they should wear black and pull long faces is a monstrosity. If we cannot rejoice in the memory of the dead we had better let them alone.” In Roslyn, the flowers and family gatherings at the cemeteries attest that those who have died are still a part of the happy memories of those they loved. At the Redmen Cemetery there are many flowers.

213 Update to the Redmen Lodge information – gleaned from the Internet on 12/3/2004 –[KSW] Its hardly accurate to describe the Improved Order of Red Men as the first Native American order--they didn’t admit Native Americans. But they were at least among the earliest American orders not imported from somewhere else. Understandably, the order had a hard time during the Indian Wars of the 1880’s. There may be some small individual Lodge sites and there are a few Red Men still around. There are many collectors of their jewelry, probably because of the Indian motif. The Fraternity was founded in 1765 and was originally known as the Sons of Liberty. These patriots concealed their identities and worked "underground" to help establish freedom and liberty in the Early Colonies. They patterned themselves after the great Iroquois Indian nation and its democratic governing body. Their system with elected representatives to governing tribal councils had been in existence for several centuries. After the American Revolution the name was changed to The Order of Red Men. They kept the customs and terminology of the Indians as a basic part of the Fraternity. Some of the words and terms may sound strange, but they soon become a familiar part of the language for every member. The Masons are similar to the Order of Red Men in that they have patterned their rituals and work after the Ancient Masonic Craftsman. The Order of Red Men is a National Fraternal Organization that believes in ..

Love and Respect of the American Flag... Preserving our Nation by defending and upholding the principle of free Government... America and the democratic way of life... Preserving the traditions and history of this great Country... Creating and inspiring a greater love for the United States of America... Helping our fellow men through organized charitable programs; Linking our members together in a common bond of Brotherhood and Friendship; Perpetuating the beautiful legends and traditions of a vanishing race and the keeping alive of its customs, ceremonies, and philosophies.

Legally, The Order of Red Men is a Patriotic Fraternity Chartered by Congress. It is a Non-Profit Organization devoted to Inspiring a greater love for the United States of America and the principles of American Liberty. The official Redmen site also shows that there are many Lodges still in existence, several in Washington state. For the Redmen they are:

Roslyn's Serbian Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 1991

Since 1948 when he moved to the Seattle area, Mike Boyovich has returned to the Roslyn Cemeteries on Memorial Day. He has not missed a single year and this year is no exception. The difference is that, with each passing year, the number of family members traveling with him grows. They come to tend the graves in the Serbian Cemetery, to keep in touch with their family roots and to celebrate that yearly reunion. Mike's parents, two brothers, Nickola and Samuel, and a twin sister, Milissa, are buried in the Serbian section. His sister was only six years old when she drowned in the Yakima River in 1925. There are approximately 70 plots in this cemetery. Though some of the graves seem unkempt Mike states that several of those no longer contain human remains. Those originally buried were exhumed and moved to other cemeteries as families moved and the perpetual care of the sites became nil. The earliest burial, according to headstones still erect and readable was 1907. Some of the earlier grave markers are in the shape of archaic Orthodox crosses. Research shows that the Serbian Orthodox Church was established in 1346, was overtaken by the Turks from 1766 and was re-established on September 12, 1920. The Serbs are Slovanic, closely linked ethnically to the Croations. However, for the most part, Croations are Roman Catholic using the Latin alphabet while the Serbs belonged to the Orthodox Church and used the Cyrillic alphabet which is enhanced with special signs for the special sounds of their language. The Serbian Lodge was a large and active organization in this area. Mike's father, Radovan, was selected to travel to the national convention in Philadelphia as a delegate from the Roslyn/Cle Elum area. This was a distinct honor and a source of pride to the family. The lodge disbanded in the early 1940's as people found their focus changed from fraternal lodges to military ranks. World War II demanded the attention and involvement of Americans, born and naturalized. The population was decreasing here and those who were here had a bigger job to do than to keep a lodge going. In the Serbian Cemetery the graves of Rade Bokovich and Mashan Stugar are uniquely adorned with silvered army boots. These have become a traditional symbol for the two WW I Vets buried here. Each year the boots are placed on the graves and surrounded with flowers. As the Boyovich family clean and decorate the burial places of their ancestors, Milrod Sogura clears the site of his brother. That brother died about 1916 as an infant and his grave does not have a marker. Sogura's parents are buried in the Cle Elum Cemetery. Friends since early childhood, Boyovich and Sogura moved to the west side of the Cascades many years ago. Each year, though, they return. Sogura says this area is the gathering spot for families from all over the state, especially on Memorial Day. Recently Mike hired a contractor to reconstruct the cement bulkhead which keeps the road from sliding into the steep hillside graveyard. After the 80 feet of bulkhead was replaced a new fence was installed on top of that. Years ago the Serbian families paid an elderly man to keep the cemetery clean and neat. Now that there is only the Boyovich's, the Sogura's and the Schwabs, none of whom live here, they depend on the work of the Roslyn Kiwanis Club and the Cle Elum High School students to keep the area from becoming overgrown. In 1969 Radovan Boyovich was the last person to be entombed in the Serbian Cemetery. There will be no more burials here. Mike's wife died in 1953 and is interred in a family mausoleum in Seattle. When Mike's time comes he will join her there. He has no qualms about the continued upkeep of the Serbian Cemetery in Roslyn, however. He says that his nieces and nephews and their children will continue the tradition and will travel to Roslyn each Memorial Day to keep the multi-curbed family plots whitewashed and to place flowers in remembrance.

222 Update 2005

Shrine to St. Sava In December, 2004, Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Yakima commissioned the establishment of a mission home-church in Cle Elum. As a part of that mission, they contacted St. Sava Orthodox Church in Issaquah to address the issue of the run-down condition of the Orthodox graves of the Serbian Cemetery in Roslyn. As a result, a three-bar Orthodox Cross was built and placed on the post over the gates of the cemetery. A small cedar shrine was built below the cross, within which a vigil lamp was placed. An icon of St. Sava of Serbia was obtained. This icon was blessed by Father Ilija of St. Sava Church, and installed in the shrine. Long-time local resident, George Blaisdell, of the Cle Elum Holy Cross Orthodox Mission faithfully tends to this shrine. Currently the Mission address is: 401 W. 2nd St., Cle Elum WA 98922. The phone number is (509)674-9433. The Holy Cross Mission people plans to seed new grass and to plant flowers in the Serbian Cemetery this summer of 2005 , if water is available in this feared-to-be drought year. The fences will be replaced. The group also plans to rebuild some of the vandalized crosses and headstones of the graves as well as clean up, repair and repaint those remaining others that need it. During all of the work and into the future, they will conduct memorial services for those who are buried here.

Orthodox Cross Also known as Byzantine, crosses are worn by Eastern Orthodox Christians. In addition to the slanted footrest, they sometimes feature the "IC" and "XC", which are shorthand in Greek for "Jesus Christ". The "IC" is the first and last letter of ISOUS; the squiggly line indicating that this is an abbreviation. The "XC" is the first and last letter is CHRISTOS. Picture taken January 27, 2005 [KSW]

Roslyn’s Silvio Pellico Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - January 31, 2005

The last known burial in this cemetery was in 1940. The existence of any records from this lodge is not known. Nobody has come forward with any stories of the lodge, its activities or the people buried here. So, what does Silvio Pellico mean? Silvio Pellico was an Italian author and patriot, born at Saluzzio, Italy, in 1788 and died in 1854. At the age of twenty he was in Milan where he taught French in a school, conducted by the Government, for soldiers' orphans. When the Austrian authorities deprived him of this post, he served as a private tutor in different families, especially in that of Count Luigi Porro Lambertenghi, one of the leading opponents of Austrian occupation and rule. Lambertenghi founded in 1819 "Il Conciliatore" (“The Advisor”) , which, as a literary outlet, voiced the doctrines of the Romantic writers and, as a political organization, fought all foreign domination in Italy. Pellico played an important part in the editing of this periodical. In 1820, with a fellow-worker, Pietro Maroncelli, he incurred suspicion as a member of the Carbonari, and, having been arrested by order of the Austrians, was imprisoned first in Venice and next in the dungeon of San Michele di Murano. After a brief trial he and Maroncelli were condemned to death, but this penalty was soon commuted into one of imprisonment with hard labor, and they were taken to the fortress of Spielberg in Moravia. After eight years of incarceration and much suffering, Pellico was released in 1830. During the remainder of his life, broken down by the hardships of imprisonment, he remained entirely aloof from politics, and preferred a life of seclusion. Pellico endeared himself permanently to the Italian heart by his prison diary, "Le mie Prigioni" (“My Prisons”). In this work, which rapidly became popular and translated into foreign languages, he tells of his experiences and emotions during the whole period of his confinement. There is no tone of bitterness; his attitude throughout is that of the genuinely devout and resigned Catholic, and he records with infinite detail and often with profoundly pathetic effect his daily experience in his various prisons. His account of the spider, which he trained to eat from his hand, is one of the best remembered passages of modern Italian prose. The very gentleness and homeliness of its narrative made his "Prigioni" the favorite that it is, and well has it been said that the book did more harm to Austria than any defeat on the field of battle. It is easy to understand why Italians created benevolent lodges under the name of Silvio Pellico.

Roslyn’s Slovakian Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - 1989

“Cemeteries Closed After Dark”, states the signs that are now in place at all of the four entrances of Roslyn’s cemetery complex. These postings, which also announce a reward for information leading to the conviction of anyone proven to have vandalized any part of the graveyards, are the direct result of the community effort to curb the continuing vandalism to an area which is sacrosanct here. The signs were made possible through a joint effort of the Roslyn Kiwanis Club, the Veteran’s organizations and other civic groups. Their placement gives the local police an enforcement tool with which to discourage felonious acts. Near the westernmost sign sits a cemetery that has, over the years, suffered its share of desecration. In between the neatly arranged rows sits the small, once-shattered white marble cross marker which defined the burial place of Michael Palonis who died in 1902. It has been carefully pieced and wired together be a man who has been the self-appointed caretaker for over 30 years: Albert Bendzak. Actually, caring for the graves began much earlier for both Albert and his sister. His mother, nee Gavalir, had relatives buried in the Slavokian section and she insisted that her children help tend those places. From the time he was about ten years old Albert was obligated to put exactly three sprinkler cans full of water on each of the six graves every day during the spring and summer. In those days, it was a common practice to plant living flowers on each grave. Born in Roslyn, of parents who emigrated from Czechoslovakia, Bendzak followed his father’s lead and worked in the coal mines here; retiring from #9 Mine when it closed in 1963. His father, Stvan, developed “miners asthma” so had to leave the mines. To support his wife and nine children he went to work as a bartender in Roslyn. He died in 1925 from complications of the affliction that had forced him from the mines. Albert still has a diary that belonged to his father, the founder and first secretary of the National Slovak Society in Roslyn. Besides keeping personal entries there were many references to lodge activities. The entries from 1887 are in the native Czech with a switch to English in 1892. Clearly this was a man who, while honoring his origins, intended to become a citizen of his adopted land. Albert isn’t sure when the local lodge closed shop and records were sent to the national headquarters but records on file at the Pittsburgh, PA headquarters show that the Roslyn lodge was officially chartered on May 24, 1891. Besides the Gavalirs and senior Bendzaks, three of the Bendzak children and a daughter-in-law are buried in that piece of Roslyn that is set aside for those of Czechoslovakian background. It is out of respect for them that Albert performs his labor of altruism. Four years ago, with the help of his son and friends, Chuck Jewett and John and Rose Venera, Albert spent weeks cleaning out all accumulated brush, pulling tree stumps and trimming around all gravesites. Two years ago another friend, Harry Georgeson, provided another service. He restored, with his welding skill, an iron cross marker that had fallen victim to vandalism. The resulting meticulous terrain and restoration projects has brought a renewed interest in the perpetuation of the Slovakian Cemetery. As the cemeteries of Roslyn fell to neglect over the years, people became cautious about burying their loved ones in a place for which perpetual care was not provided. One only has to see the care that is being provided at the Slovakian Cemetery to understand why requests for burial space there are still made. John Wargo, who now resides with his daughter in Buckley, is the last living person who was a member of the original Roslyn Slovak Society. His wife, Helen, was buried in the Slovakian Cemetery. There is a place next to her for John when it becomes time to come home to Roslyn.

Albert R. Bendzak By Squeak Giaudrone – NKC Tribune

Although Albert’s marker is enclosed here In his mother’s plot, Albert’s grave is Located by the main road.

Albert Ramon Bendzak, 89, a lifetime member of the Ronald, Washington community, died Sunday, October 3, 2004 at his home. He was born January 9, 1915 in Roslyn, the eighth of nine children born to Stefan and Elizabeth (Simon) Bendzak, who emigrated from Czechoslovakia.. Albert_s first big loss in life came at the young age of ten, when his father died of Black Lung Disease. Considered a good student, Albert went on to graduate from Cle Elum High School. Following his graduation, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC_s). It was during that time that he took his turn at boxing in the ring and was the camp champion in his weight class. He had many stories to tell about his good times at the CCC camp.

After much persistence, Albert went into the coal mines in 1937 and worked there until the closure of the Northwestern Improvement Co._s #9 mine in 1963. Known as a hard worker, Albert worked in construction until his retirement in 1977. His other activities included serving as a member (elected president in May 1947) of the Roslyn Eagles #696 when its membership exceeded 400; fundraising for new fire equipment for the volunteer department; hunting game, as well as teaching his young sons to hunt, and cutting wood, which he often gave to the widows and the elderly. After the death of his father, Albert_s uncle taught him to make wine and,at age 12, he became the family wine maker. It was with great anticipation that he eagerly awaited the annual arrival of 12-18 truckloads of grapes from California. Another job Albert took in place of his father was that of regularly carrying buckets of water to the Slovak Cemetery. For over 40 years, he managed all aspects of the cemetery where many family members are buried, and readily shared that history with anyone who would listen during the many hours he spent there. On September 12, 1936, Albert married Helen Wilma Vlahovich in Ellensburg. Together, they raised three children. Albert was preceded in death by his parents and all of his siblings. Survivors include his wife of 68 years, Helen Bendzak of Ronald; his daughter, Arlene (and Dick) Watts of Sammamish; sons Braven (and Colleen) Bendzak of Zillah and Tiran (and Darlene) Bendzak of Winlock; eight grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. A mass of Christian Burial was held Thursday, October 7, 2004 at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Roslyn, with burial following at the Slovak Cemetery.

Roslyn’s Sokol Lodge Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware - August 1988

Deep in the pine woods, at the highest northwest corner of the Roslyn cemeteries, lies one of the smallest official graveyard in the cemetery complex. The informational kiosk at its entrance of the cemetery complex is seemingly larger than the Sokol burial ground itself. There are but two monumented burial sites right alongside of the road and one more further up the hill. The two on the road are dated 1918 and 1924. No other graves are to be seen here, but oldtimers say that there are several more uphill. Other than rock placements that may have outlined burial places, any other outward indications seem to have disappeared. The informational kiosk at the main entrance of the cemetery complex states that the lodge was founded in 1904 and the main purpose was to promote athletic skills and patriotism among its members. However, there is a picture of a group of young people shown on the kiosk who are identified as members of the ‘Sokola’ Lodge. This was organized in Ronald in 1914 for Yugoslavians. The Sokol sponsored men’s and women’s gymnastic teams that performed all around this area. During World War I these performances were fund raisers to aid those relatives suffering in the oppression of war in the old country. Current research shows that the Sokola Lodge pictured on the kiosk is the same as the Sokol Lodge. Roslyn native, Fabian Kuchin, who heads the Roslyn Kiwanis Cemetery Committee, became a member of the Sokol Lodge in 1916. He remembers the emphasis on athletic prowess. He tells too of the “good tamobritza band”. Musically talented lodge members played the stringed instruments of the old country and performed at most lodge, and at many public, functions. The meeting place, in 1916, was above Stove’s Drugstore, although later meetings were held at the Falcon Hall in Ronald. That hall fell victim, in 1928, to the fire caused by the explosion of a moonshine still nearby. The operator of that still was killed in the accident and is buried in the Roslyn’s Eagles Cemetery. The Sokol Lodge required strict meeting attendance of its members if they expected to remain a member in good standing. Lodge ritual books show that a part of each formal meeting included the reading of the names of those whose membership was suspended or cancelled. This was common practice with most lodges of that day. Excerpts from the Slovene Lodge ritual books from the year 1938 shows how intertwined were the lodge tenants and the ideals and plights of the working man. There was heavy emphasis on “freethought” and on defending worker’s rights. Members were also duty bound, as a group, to take part in lodge funerals. Besides showing respect for the deceased, lodge solidarity was shown to the rest of the community. Members were admonished to include statements about how hard working conditions and uncaring employers may have contributed to the death. These to be added after saying kind words about the deceased. The current funeral ritual still reflects the labor heritage of the Slovanian people who immigrated here. The final official works are: Death is but a call to peace and rest after a worrisome task. The newer ritual’s manual, dated 1956, has no reference to working conditions – a tribute to the battles won by the labor unions by that time. As with many of the early lodges the loss of a regular meeting place and the hard times of the depression years depleted the club rolls. Fabian Kuchin says there were only a dozen or so who maintained even a token membership in the lodge. Those were primarily for the retention of the sickness and burial benefits. Finally, in the late 1950’s the Sokol Lodge ceased to exist. Several members requested a transfer of their records to a Slovenian lodge in Enumclaw, while others, like Kuchin, opted to join with Cle Elum Croation Lodge #79.

246 The Cle Elum Croation Lodge is still active and Kuchin still pays his dues. Mitch Moschner, Jr. of Cle Elum, handles all of the lodge benefit transactions in his capacity as secretary/ treasurer. His mother, Elsie, held that office before he did. All of the monies go to the national lodge and all of the benefit monies come from the national lodge. This is very different than in the days when each local lodge has a Sickness Committee that personally investigated all requests for aid, made by people the personally knew. Their findings were duly noted at lodge meetings and applications were granted or denied at those local meetings. Narratives generated from the cemetery research tell not only of the history of Upper Kittitas County, but also of the ongoing changes. There changes will continue as long as there is a Roslyn.

Updates – 2005: This has been a “non-winter” as the snowfall was so sparse as to be nearly nonexistent. The lack of snow, and because foliage hadn’t blossomed yet, areas that are usually hidden from sight came to view. While walking the cemeteries to take pictures and to update some of the stories I wrote nearly 20 years ago, I spotted a tombstone across the road and directly down the hill from the Sokol cemetery. Once I beat my way through the brush to get there I found it and a smaller marker on the other side. As the graves were in exact alignment with the Sokol Lodge sign and the two graves next to the road I concluded that they must have been part of the Sokol Cemetery. Therefore I am including these as part of the Sokol Lodge Cemetery. [KSW]

The smaller marker shows just the initials R. G. and “Died 1914". The burial site appears to be that of an adult.

Although the icon is missing, the fact that this tombstone is still in place and the burial site otherwise undisturbed is probably due to its nearly concealed place in the woods. Pictures taken February 17, 2005 [KSW]

Roslyn’s St. Barbara’s Cemetery Karyne Strom Ware – March 1988

Across the downhill slopes of neighboring cemeteries, beyond the I-90 corridor heading up Snoqualmie Pass, the forested hills of Easton Ridge presents a soothing view as one stands among the tombstones of St. Barbara’s Cemetery. This land was purchased to use as a burial place for St. Barbara’s #39 J.S.K.J. Lodge members the same year that the lodge was formed in Roslyn- 1902. St. Barbara is said to be the patron saint of those who work underground and the initials J.S. K. J. translated from Croation stands for Yugoslavian Catholic Lodge. Membership was exclusively for those of Slovonian descent. Other nationalities were not admitted until the late 1920’s. As with most other local fraternal groups, the principle attractions for joining were for fellowship and for the insurance advantages given to members. There are provisions for accident, sickness and burial benefits which are still available, although there are less than a dozen members left. At one time there were over 300 members. The third Sunday of each month was set aside for business and social meetings. These were held above the Rose Theater in the KP Hall until it burned down in 1943. That fire destroyed irreplaceable records belonging to all of the fraternal organizations that used the KP as a meeting place. The family of Roslyn’s Emily Osiadacz has been actively involved with the administration of the lodge and the cemetery since 1915 when her father, John Segota, became treasurer. He held this office until his death in 1964. Her mother acted as lodge secretary from 1925 until she died in 1966. Emily took over the lodge administration at that time and is just now in the process of turning all of the books over to the national lodge as her own health dictates she lessen her official responsibilities. Emily’s sister, Katherine Liboky, tells of the funeral ritual that was an official function of the lodge. After the body was prepared for burial there was a three day wake in the deceased’s home. Lodge members, in pairs, took turns sitting with the body for every hour of those three days. On the day of burial all members would dress in official regalia, which included white gloves and lodge badge. They would transport the coffin from the home, to the church, then to the cemetery. The services were always in the native tongue. Katherine and Emily’s mother, Elenora Segota, assumed many duties during those times. She visited members when they were ill, obtained pallbearers for the funeral and said the lodge farewell ritual at the gravesite. In recent years the gravesite ritual has been read by Emily if the family of the deceased requests it. There are over 100 grave markers in St. Barbara’s at this time, although there are some of the older graves that have no markers. Here one finds stones that have a photograph of the deceased encased in tile and embedded in the stone. This is part of the funery art that was practiced in the old country. Some of these irreplaceable icons have, sadly, been vandalized. A newer method of tombstone art is displayed on at least two markers in St. Barbara’s. George Liboky’s blue pearl marble marker shows an engraved picture of a farmer, with a shovel over his shoulder, coming home from the fields at sunset. This was designed by his daughter, Gina, who felt that represented a large part of her father’ s life. The ashes of Joseph Victor Raskie were buried in the graves of his parents in 1986. Until a tumor robbed him his sharp eyesight in the 1960’s, Mr. Raskie was a film maker for KING TV in Seattle. His sister, Mary Raffle, says that he traveled to China, Alaska and many other places for KING to do documentaries. He was also the filming director of the KING advertising department. His son ordered his marker engraved with the likeness of a reel of film. Walking through the cemetery one sees an older grave in the stages of refurbishment. The family of Juan Plese (Americanized to Plesha), has hired one of the local concrete contractors, Tom Blair, to replace the encasement and to re-set the tombstone. Over the years the old cement crumbled allowing the stone to fall. This is a common occurrence. Tom removes all of the old cement work, which can be very difficult. In times past, people either did not reinforce cement or they used anything from old

252 bedsprings to car parts to give the concrete something to which to adhere. When Tom pours the new cement he uses steel reinforcer bars. He also uses a sealing compound on the finished work to keep the moisture out. He says the freezing of moisture that has found its way into cracks causes the breakdown of cement. The status of the cemetery is now in transition. Although Emily will no longer be conducting lodge business, the national headquarters at Ely, MN has nothing to do with the cemetery. Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two sons have been trading off the maintenance on an annual basis, but the work is really more than one person can do in a year. There are still plots available but no decision has yet been made regarding the responsibility for the cemetery administration. In the meanwhile the Osiadacz sons and the families of those buried in St. Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will continue to provide grounds maintenance as needed.

Update 2005: St. Barbaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery is one of the neatest in the Roslyn Cemetery complex. The Barich, Osiadacz and Zapatil families in particular have donated time and money to put in new curbing and fencing. The tombstones are clean and many now have enhanced lettering so that the inscriptions can more easily be read.

Steven Dorobis died at age 36 in 1990. The inscription on his tombstone reads: SEEKER EXPLORER LOVER OF LIFE OH HOW WE MISS YOU NOW YOU ARE IN GODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CARE

Roslynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery #1 Karyne Strom Ware 1988 On April 1, 1949, a contingent of military veterans stood at attention as the train pulled in to Cle Elum. Aboard were the remains of a comrade who had been killed in the European Theater of Operation during World War II. The family of Fred Pasquin had requested his return and on April 10, 1949, he became the first burial in the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery of Roslyn. Spearheaded by Roslyn native, patriot, community leader, historian and visionary, Frank Musso, the two Roslyn veteran's organizations had been working since February 1948 to establish an official cemetery for those local men and women who served their country with honor. It was Musso who, in 1945, helped to charter Robert H. Brooks VFW Post #4125, named for the first Roslyn serviceman killed in the line of duty during WW II. Mr. Musso owned the building where the Roslyn Cafe is presently located. He operated the frozen food lockers on the street level and allowed many civic and fraternal groups to use the meeting halls upstairs. He was always and intensely interested in Roslyn, its people, its past and its future. The local history museum had been his dream for over 20 years; with his enthusiasm he joined with friends Joe and Mary Andler, obtained the backing of a large segment of the community and opened that museum, without fanfare, in 1968. Musso started keeping a record of burials in Roslyn in 1955, a work continued by Mary Andler who is still the museum curator. After a long battle with lung cancer, Frank Musso died on January 15, 1986. A WW I veteran, he is buried, appropriately in the Veteran's Cemetery. Roslyn-Ronald American Legion Post #206 was chartered in 1947 and joined the VFW Post #4125 in planning for the proposed cemetery. True to military order, the sites were surveyed and marked in precision ranks. With volunteer labor and donations of implements, materials and landscaping, the land, which had given by Northwestern Improvement Company, moved toward realization. In May of 1949 concrete was poured for the twin 50 caliber, water-cooled WW II machine guns one sees in front of the now completed monument. They, like those they watch over, are forever silenced. The monument was constructed, also in 1949, to honor the dead from WWI and WWII but came to include those who fell in Korea and Vietnam as well. On Memorial Day of 1951, the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery of Roslyn was officially dedicated. The corporation formed to administer this cemetery sets the rules for is use. Those regulations state that all of the 102 graves in front of the monument are to be single plot and may only become the burial places of men or women who honorably served in the American Armed Forces. Further, each committal shall be in succession, there is no choosing of plots. As of this writing 112 of the 165 plots in the #1 Cemetery are occupied, two by Roslyn women who were WW II veterans. The only headstone permitted here is the upright American white marble marker which the U.S. Government designates as one of the official headstones for all U.S. military cemeteries. The official flat (flush to the ground) marker of either marble, bronze or slate are the only grave markers allowed in the area uphill from the monument. These are the double plots sold for the burial of veterans and their spouses. No other family members may be buried here and the plots can only be purchased as a double and only at the time of the death of a veteran or the spouse. Recently one row was set aside just for those who opted for cremation. This area is also in the grounds above the monument. Negotiations initiated in 1977 with Kittitas County culminated in the acquisition of the old county cemetery in 1982. This is located directly across the road and contains graves of those buried, in earlier times, at county expense. Those will remain undisturbed and the four flat markers will not be out of place as all of the new sites are to be double plots with the same flat marker requirement. This rule will greatly aid in the upkeep of the grounds of the #2 Cemetery. Although perpetual care is provided, at this time it is all being done by volunteers. As one of these states, "None of us is getting any younger, our numbers are decreasing and the work is getting harder."

Greenfield, Vice-President; Edmund Violetta, Secretary; John Violetta and Tony Minerich, Co-Treasurers; Joseph (Buck) Kanyer, James Barich, and Charles Lorrekovich, Directors; are in the process of establishing a trust fund with which to hire a year-round caretaker. The group is also in the midst of plans to craft and erect a kiosk just for the Veteran's Cemetery. Anyone wishing to help with either of these projects may send donations of cash or pictures of the construction of the cemetery to: P.O. Box 482, Roslyn, WA 98941-0482. Memorial Day of 1991, 185 small American flags were placed on every veteran's grave in every section of the Roslyn Cemeteries. The local groups keep records of all of the burial locations of deceased military people and strive to honor them whether or not the family chooses the Veteran's Memorial or other Roslyn burial site. At family option military funeral rites are provided for veterans. These are performed by members of the VFW and American Legion clubs on a volunteer basis. It is a tribute to the patriotism of the Upper Kittitas County groups that there has always been enough men turn out to accomplish the requested service which often includes a 4-man rifle team and a bugler. The portion of the American Legion funeral ritual shown on the next page seems to address the devotion shown here. Comrades and friends, let us here pledge ourselves anew to united services, to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by a devotion to mutual helpfulness in the protection of those left behind. All who are present, will you not join with us, for the accomplishments of this idea depends upon the support of every war veteran, of their friends and of the community in which they reside. We Remember

Families are allowed to add whatever they feel is appropriate to the official military burial stone. Anyone who knew Chuck Henderson knows this is the epitaph he would have chosen for himself.

Burial site for Fred Pasquin who had been killed in the European Theater of Operation during World War II. His burial here in 1949 was the first for the Roslyn Veterans Cemetery.

Roslyn mine blast killed 45 men

The 1892 explosion left U.C grief-stricken Most of following article and news pictures from The Daily Record, Ellensburg, Wash., Fri., August 18, 1989

1892 mine blast killed 45 men From 8-18-1989 Ellensburg Daily Record By Paul Fridlund May 10, 1892. Benjamin Ostliff, an English immigrant, left home for the mine. For the father of six children this day promised something that had been infrequent lately. He would work a full shift in No.1 Mine in Roslyn. The family needed the money during this depressed time. For Ostliff, Roslyn had become home. After immigrating to the United States, he moved to Illinois. In 1886, he ventured west to Roslyn. He helped open the first mine under the direction of John Kangley and worked in the mines until 1888 before returning to Illinois. But disaster struck Roslyn that summer. Fire destroyed the town, and carpenters were needed. Ostliff returned to help rebuild the business section, and he remained. He was in Roslyn during the terrible strike of 1888, and he was a victim of the economic slowdown in 1892. In every respect, he was a pioneer miner in the development of the Roslyn coal fields. After filling the bottom of his lunch pail with water and placing sandwiches in the tray on top, Ostliff headed for the mine. There he joined 44 others. They represented the established miners of the area. Most were Anglo Saxon pioneers in the area but five were well-respected blacks. Only one of the group. Dominic Bianco was from southern Europe. Nearly all were family men, specially selected because the company felt they were more careful in the mines. For many miners, there was no work at all. The 45 men on the shift must have felt fortunate to have work. Dark clouds covered Upper Kittitas County on May 10, 1892. The day promised rain. It also brought disaster. Opening the Mines In the early 1880s, prospectors roamed the hills looking for gold and other precious metals. Upper Kittitas County was still a virgin land, an unsettled wilderness in Washington Territory. In their explorations, miners reported finding

traces of coal. Eventually, the Northern Pacific Railroad learned of this discovery, and in 1881 a railroad survey party visited the area. No coal was found. Two years later, the first settlers homesteaded in Upper County. One of the, C.P. Brosius, discovered coal on his ranch. Although he recognized the quality of the find, he paid little attention to it. His interest was in building a home in the wilderness. But others became involved. During 1883, four well-defined veins were discovered, and 13 claims were filed. The first large deposit was opened by George Virden and William Brannan in Ronald. The next year, Virden and Nez Jensen exported the first coal from the Roslyn area. In horse-drawn wagons they brought coal to Ellensburg, where it as sold to local blacksmiths. The following year coal prospectors found little success, but in 1885 the Roslyn vein along Smith Creek Canyon was discovered. The prospectors told Northern Pacific Railroad officials. Although the 1881 survey failed to locate coal, a second railroad survey crew discovered deposits from Masterson Gulch to Lake Cle Elum in May, 1886. Using diamond drills, they identified a number of promising sites. In August, 1886, the company opened its first mine. By the end of the year, the Northern Pacific Railroad reached Cle Elum, and the company began exporting coal. In building the transcontinental route, the Northern Pacific received every other section of land. The company had vast land holdings in Upper County, but the Northern Pacific wanted all the coal lands; so the company bought the claims of many settlers. When some settlers resisted, the railroad company contested the claims of 26 settlers in court, claiming the land was mineral and not agricultural. Two years later, the Secretary of the Interior ruled in favor of the settlers. Despite this setback, the Northern Pacific began the rapid development of the coal fields.

It also built the town of Roslyn. The town was platted a year later. The mines attracted miners from all over the country, and the area boomed as men sought work. The first shipment of 1,500 tons of coal left the Roslyn coal fields in December 1886. Of the miners who entered the No. 1 Mine on May 10, 1892, many were men who came when the mines opened. The included: Benjamin Ostliff, the father of six children, who helped open the first mine. Sydney Wright, father of four children, who came with his brothers James and Thomas and was among the first people to arrive in Roslyn. Joseph Cusworth Sr., an English immigrant and father of six children who arrived in 1887. Joseph Cusworth, Jr., the 21-year-old son of Joseph Sr., who helped support his five brothers and sisters. David Rees, Jr., a 19-year-old immigrant from Wales, and son of Thomas Rees. He arrived in 1887. Thomas Rees, the father of several children. Mitchell Ronald, the brother of mine superintendent Alexander Ronald and the father of four small children. There were other pioneer miners on the May 10, 1892, shift who helped open the mines. Labor Trouble Among the 45 miners who entered No. 1 Mine on that overcast afternoon of May 10 were six black men. They had come to Roslyn after a bitter labor strike in August 1888. The mines grew rapidly after opening in 1886. In the year ending Sept. 30, 1888, the output from the mines was 1,133,801 tons, an increase of 608,096 over the previous year. Miners worked 10 hours a day under adverse, dangerous conditions. The miners wanted the work day reduced from 10 to eight hours a day. Organized as the Knights of Labor, the workers also sought a closed shop. On Aug. 17, 18888, they went on strike. The company resisted their demands. Within a week, a crew of strike breakers arrived from Illinois. They were black. Striking miners were openly hostile to the new arrivals. As a precaution, the company sent 40 armed men to protect the black miners. The guards were called U.S. marshals, although they

278 were actually bodyguards hired through a private detective agency. As they rode through Roslyn to Ronald, where the No. 3 Mine was opening , these guards flashed guns at Roslyn people watching the train pass. “These men exhibited weapons in threatening manners and are said to have passed through the said town…with guns at the windows of each of the said cars aimed at the large crowd of people standing in the vicinity of the depot.” A report to the U.S. Secretary of the Interior said. “There is a bitter feeling against the negroes and the United States marshals among the miners, and I fear there will be bloodshed over the matter,” the report said. The author described the armed men protecting the black strike breakers. “These men were regularly armed, uniformed, and officered in military style, and had thrown up fortifications of logs and earthworks, in front of which they had erected a barbed-wire fence to serve as an abattis,” he said. “The men were not under arms when I visited them, but it was not denied that they were supplied with magazines, rifles and side arms, and that regulations of the camp were substantially those of a military establishment. A number of negro laborers were quartered inside the camp.” Relations between the striking miners and the company, including the black strike breakers, remained tense. But in September, the striking miners went back to work without any concessions from the company. In fact, they accepted a 10-cents-a-ton reduction for piece work. White miners receive $1.15 a ton, while black miners were paid 85 cents a ton. But when the company announced it wouldn’t hire any of the strike leaders back, the miners struck again. Only the No.3 Mine in Ronald, operating with black strike breakers, remained open. For the next six months. Roslyn was a powder keg. On Christmas Day, the mule drivers who hauled coal from the mines went on strike. Again, the company responded by hiring strike breakers. More violence followed. A telegram to John Kangley, company president, in December, 1888, discussed the trouble that followed. “In taking the new (black)

drivers to Roslyn this afternoon, (company supervisors) Ronald and Williamson were surrounded and knocked senseless by strikers and disarmed afterward. Afterward (they were) run out of town. Several of the new men were badly used up. Mob rule reigns in Roslyn tonight,” the telegram said. The strike was eventually settled on the company’s terms. All the mines were operating by the end of February 1889. The first black strike breakers were considered “a corrupt lot”. The company filled their places with white workers and with other Blacks brought into the area. For two years, Blacks outnumbered Whites in the Roslyn area. But many were starved out in the years that followed, and only a few were employed in later years. Among the 45 miners who entered the No. 1 shaft on May 10, 1892 were six prominent Blacks. There were: Wesley Pollard of Virginia, who arrived in 1889. He was married. Rev. G. W. Williams, a miner since boyhood, who served as a minister in Roslyn. Press Lovin, a 31-year-old Virginia native, considered “virtuous, sober and highly respected by all”. Tobias Cooper, a “hardworking, saving and sober” husband and father who arrived in 1889. Scott Giles of Virginia, an experienced miner, who arrived in 1889. Elisha Jackson, a Roslyn resident for two years, who was considered “a general favorite among his people”. The strike of 1888 had been bitter, and feelings of prejudice remained. But when the afternoon shift entered No. 1 Mine on May 10, 1892, six Blacks were among the crew. Economic Problems While returning home from a dance in January 1892, George Forsythe slipped and severely sprained his knee. The superintendent of No.3 Mine in Ronald spent several days recovering from this painful injury, one that seemed to symbolize the frustrations of the new year. In March, Forsythe’s No.3 Mine was closed indefinitely. In 1890 the mine operated 260 days, sometimes with three shifts. A year later,

279 the mine operated 160 days. And the demand for coal dropped even more in 1892. “The Roslyn and Ronald properties have been running at a loss for some weeks on account of the exceedingly dull coal market, and the prospects for an increase in the demand for several months yet are not very encouraging,” the Tacoma Tribune-News reported. “Our coal mines are not being worked at Roslyn because the cost is (priced) too high,” the Ellensburg Localizer said in April. “People here during the winter burned wood because of the high price of coal”. In Walla Walla, the newspaper said, people burned coal imported from Australia. “Roslyn should have the trade of Walla Walla and that also of the Union Pacific, but Roslyn has neither,” the localizer said. “Working in the slope was more remunerative than in the mine, the company having given men with large families the preference,” the Seattle Press-Times said. Those working on the shift had been given preference. “Work has been slack at the mines for some months past, men being employed only for one or two days in the week, so that their families have barely had means of subsistence,” the newspaper said. In this time of economic depression, all the miners needed to work. Thomas Brennan, father of nine children, had been ill for three months. May 10 was his second day of work during that period. It also explains why so many were prominent men, like No.3 supervisor George Forsythe and Mitchell Ronald, brother of the mines supervisor, Alexander Ronald. Number One Mine The No. 1 Mine was the first opened by the Northern Pacific, but the company was opening a new slope in 1892. The 8,000-foot slope had seven levels and was considered dangerous. Located in a narrow gorge with heavily wooded sides, the mine had a tramway that led from the mouth to railroad tracks about 500 yards away. “Reports have been circulated to the effect that the slope work has been considered unusually dangerous for the past three months,” the Press-Times said. “It is a significant fact that

a majority of the men who have been working in the slope are skilled miners. Many of the men had in their time been pit foremen or mine bosses. Every morning mines are inspected by competent foremen and his report is bulletined at the entrance of the mine. If there is danger, miners are forbidden to enter, and he goes ahead at his own risk.” In late March or early April, a gas explosion occurred in the slope, according to the Roslyn News. “The explosion which occurred about six weeks ago, in which a colored man by the name of Gregory was killed and several others badly burned, was a stern warning that possible precaution must be taken to prevent future clamation,” the newspaper said. During this explosion, 21-year-old Joe Cusworth saved a fellow miner. “He entered a death pit in the mine here about six weeks ago at the risk of his life and brought out one of his fellow workmen who would have perished had it not been for the brave and noble action of Joe,” the News said. All the men knew the dangers of mining, like Winyard Steele. “Many were the injuries he sustained, having his arms, legs, ribs and other parts of the body badly bruised and jammed at various times,” the News said. On the morning of May 10, 1892, gas was reported in the mine. The following notice was posted at the entrance: “Mine No. 1 – Fire damp in fourth, west airway; fifth, east section and airway. J. Shaw.” All these gases were removed by fireman John Shaw and the men put to work,: the Press-Times said. The shift went to work at 7 p.m. The mine was reported clear of gas when the men entered the mine. There was nothing particularly unusual, and the miners probably had no cause for alarm. For them, it was good to be working. Explosion Inside the mine, many of the miners sat eating lunch at 12:45 p.m. Others continued working. They used naked lamps to see. These lamps had exposed flames that reflected from their helmets.

280 Outside the entrance, a heavy rain began pouring down. A mule driver was just leaving the mine with a small train of cars. Boom, BOOM! The man and mules were knocked to the ground. The cars tipped and fell as the earth shook. “There were fourteen cars on the track at the mouth of the tunnel,” the Ellensburg Localizer said. “Some of the cars were demolished and others driven with great force down the track.” “The report was heard all over town and for more than a mile away in the surrounding country,” the Press-Times said. “No one needed to inquire what had happened. The report told its own tale of sorrow to every resident of the village… The explosion, the shock, and the cloud of smoke, and the cloud of smoke and gas which followed it was notice to every person in Roslyn that death had come very clear to him – more than likely into his own household.” Inside the mine gas exploded, causing the first boom. The concussion ran down the shaft, hit the end and bounced back, like the explosion in the barrel of a gun. “Heavy iron water pipes were bent and twisted like wire, solid fir timbers 12x14 were broken into tinder, huge boulders and chunks of coal were picked up and hurled many feet up the passage,” the Roslyn News said. “Persons standing near the entrance were blown about like leaves,” “Several of the bodies (miners) were burned and mangled in such a manner that all semblance to human beings was effaced,” the News said. “The majority were easily recognized. From the different positions in which the miners were found, many persons were led to the conclusion that some lived for a time after the explosion had taken place. Several had their shirts over their heads, as if to keep from inhaling the poisonous air. Others had their hands over their faces. In the case of John Foster, Winfred Steele, Michael Hale and Mitchell Ronald, who were supposed by many to have lived for some time after the shock…these four miners were working together.” The Tragedy

Outside, everyone in town rushed to the mine and “it was soon surrounded by an eager and sorrowing crowd, which increased rapidly until everybody who could go was there,” the PressTimes said. “A hard rain was pouring at the time, but nobody heeded it. There was too much anxiety to know the extent of the disaster, how it had happened and what, if anything, could be done to rescue the men in the mine.” “The shaft was full of smoke and debris,” the newspaper continued. “It even seemed to be on fire. The horrors of a general and shocking bereavement seemed about to be increased by the cremation of the dead almost within sight of their sorrowing friends.” Women who had husbands working in the mines were frantically rushing about the mouth of the tunnel eager to learn the fate of those dear to them,” the Ellensburg Localizer said. “The scene presented was appalling in the extreme.” “Poor women and children whose lot in life at best is a hard one, now thronged about the mine and begged piteously for somebody to save their husbands, fathers, sons or brothers,” the PressTimes said. “The lamentations of the Negroes were particularly pitiful. Some seemed to be dazed by their loss, and the very silence of their woe appealed to every observer. Others begged to be told what it was then impossible to know, and some were with difficulty restrained from rushing into the tunnel in the hopelessness of their desire to do more than could be done.” Thomas Weatherby, son of Jacob Weatherby, had to be physically restrained from rushing into the shaft to search for his father. Stunned, dazed and weeping, people stood outside the dust-choked mine as the rain continued to fall. A rescue party was organized, but for the time being, nothing could be done. Whatever the fate of the miners, people on the outside were helpless in the face of tragedy. The Rescue Party When asked to form a rescue party, many miners volunteered to search for their companions. As the dust settled, the first party went into the mine. “Gang after gang goes down in the face of the warning of gangs forced to come up by the overpowering gas, determined to leave no effort

281 untried that may lead to the rescue of their mates,” the Press-Times said in an extra edition. “Coal black negroes and white men forget race and work together in harmony for the recovery of the victims, hoping against hope to rescue alive some more fortunate one whom death may have spared.” “The outpour of deadly gas from the tunnel was too great to permit the search being prosecuted for any length of time,” the Ellensburg Localizer said. “Every ten minutes relief gangs were sent in and the work was kept up this way until the foreman, George Harrison, counseled that it was too risky to continue the search, as to remain would be to suffocate from the deadly fumes. At 12 o’clock on the night of the 10th the rescue was abandoned.” Fourteen bodies had been recovered. “The last three victims found in the fifth level east of the slope were laying on their faces, facing towards the main slope, and were not maimed,” the newspaper said. “One evidently struggled against death, but the fire damp asphyxiated him.” “Work during the night was pushed far enough to satisfy even the most sanguine that no chance remains of recovery of any alive,” the Localizer said. “The day broke in a drizzling rain, which continued at intervals all yesterday. The sun shone now and then to drive away the gloom, but it invariably turned behind the great dark clouds and permitted it to grow denser,” the Press-Times said. “Daylight was hailed with relief by the men who were at Mine No. 1 working like heroes to render succor to their imprisoned comrades. Spurred by the hope – through the spark of hope was burning only very faintly – that life might still be in the bodies of some of the entombed men, the rescuing parties worked with the energy of desperation… Firedamp almost strangled them occasionally, and they would be forced to seek fresh air above the ground. Back again they would go and work as they had worked before. The suffocating gas drove them back once, twice, a dozen times, but they could not be kept back. Among the men forming the rescue party was Ed Dunstan, a miner who was severely injured

in the explosion six weeks earlier. Another was Thomas Weatherby, the young man restrained the first day. Carrying a lantern, he approached the mine to search for his father. At first he was told he couldn’t enter the mine, but after pleading his case, he was allowed to join one of the rescue parties. It took two more days to recover all the dead. The Morgue “The bodies were taken in improvised wagons to the town hall, where they were deposited on long tables side by side, that they might be viewed and identified,” the Localizer said. “The distressing scenes of the afternoon were reenacted at the town hall, the women coming thither to claim their dead and mourn for them. The bodies were divested of their clothing and laid in rows of two each and their faces washed of blood and the black encrusted on them. Then was revealed the horrible extent of the injuries inflicted.” “Men’s heads were blown away, their arms severed, their eyes blown out and their skin blackened, scarred and bruised,” the Localizer continued. “Three of them were apparently uninjured. These three had been found lying in the fifth level, east of the main slope, flat upon their faces, where they had thrown themselves to escape the baleful effects of the afterdamp, only to be asphyxiated by it.” “Most of the bodies are horribly burned and mutilated,” the Press-Times said. “The dead are being taken care of as fast as brought out.” A Tacoma undertaker arrived in Roslyn, bringing with him 40 caskets and some attendants. “As the shades of (Wednesday) night began to fall, friends of the dead men whose bodies had been recovered could be seen in different parts of the town carrying coffins in which was all that was mortal of their friends,” the PressTimes said. The first 12 victims were buried on Thursday, May 12. After a service in Unity Hall, the procession moved down Pennsylvania Avenue to the cemetery. “The funeral procession was a large one,” the Press-Times said. “The Knights of Pythias,

282 I.O.O.F, S.O.G.T, and the Masons, dressed in full regalia, were in attendance.” Even as the procession moved towards the cemetery, the work of excavating graves continued. “The sounds of (dynamite) blasts fill the air, which are being fired to expedite the work of digging the numerous graves,” the newspaper said. Burials began before the last bodies were recovered. It took three days to recover the remains of the last victims. Grief “The gloom of death hangs heavily over this town today and has spread its dreaded presence into almost every one of the hundreds of little homes,” the Press-Times said. “Scarcely a man or woman, boy or girls can be seen who has not lost relative – either a father, husband or friend. In keeping with the oppressive feeling of death which hovers over the town or the unnatural stillness. The people walk up and down the streets leading to the scene of Tuesday’s terrible disaster almost stealthily and converse whispers. Little knots of men congregate at street corners and talk almost in whispers, of the horrible fate of their relatives and friends. Not one face in the hundreds seen outside of the residences, which are in themselves alone suggestive pictures of poverty, is free from traces of bitter tears. Eyes red with weeping and faces drawn with anguish tell in mute language of the bitter and sorrowful night passed by the 2,000 souls here.” The newspaper cited many instances of grief brought by the tragedy, such as the case of Josephs Cusworth’s wife who also lost a son in the mine. “When Mrs. Cusworth heard of the disaster, she ran like a mad woman from her home of poverty to the mine,” the newspaper said. “Her face became drawn with the mental torture which she passed through. Her ravings at the mine were extremely pitiful. For probably half an hour tears streamed from her eyes, and no one could comfort her. Suddenly, as if seized with an inspiration, she exclaimed: ‘ My husband is not dead. My boy will come home with him to supper.’ She turned and retraced her

steps to her home and set about making preparations for supper. She set the table with unusual neatness, and made every arrangement for the meal in the tidy manner of a good housewife. Her children were called into the house and washed and their pallid little faces made to look bright and cheerful. Six o’clock came but her loved ones did not come. Seven o’clock and still husband and son failed to arrive. Her neighbors watched her with feelings of profound pity. Before 8 o’clock the poor woman, the poor woman, still nourishing her delusion, went outside and spoke to a man who had just left the mine. ‘Is it true?’ she asked in a whisper. ‘My God, Mrs. Cusworth, it is only too true,’ came the answer from the stout-hearted fellow, with tears in his eyes. “Not a sound escaped the woman’s lips,” the newspaper continued. “She returned to her home and there she wept. Later in the evening her grief became terrible. All night long she walked about her little frame house crying in a most heartrending manner. Today she is weak from exhaustion.” The newspaper cited other personal tragedies. Thomas Rees and his son, David, were killed while working side by side. They supported a large family with children ranging in age from a few months to 12 years old. Winyard Steele’s wife also lost her brother, Mitchell Hale. William Hague left an invalid mother and a crippled sister. His mother told the Press-Times reporter about the last day in Hague’s life. “William overslept himself on Tuesday morning. I was feeling better than usual and called him to get up and go to work,” she said. “Oh, I don’t feel like working today,” he replied. “Now, William, get up, I said to him, and he obeyed. I wish he never left home,” the heartbroken mother said as tears filler her eyes. In the small company telegraph office, women sent word to relatives about their dead or missing husbands. “What do you want to say?” an operator asked one woman whose husband was still missing.

283 “Just the same as the others. Tell father John is with the rest of them,” the woman said with tears in her eyes. “I went about among the cabins of the poor today,” the Press-Times reporter said. “The woman, with eyes red from weeping, answered the knock and were unable to talk without bursting into tears. In nearly every instance they are destitute. Relief “The grief of many is pitiful to behold,” the Press-Times said. “Wives left with large families to care for, children who for years have been without the protecting influence of a mother find themselves now also without the care of a father; weak and aged widows who have been dependent upon the support of sons, and girls who have had no protector or provider except an honest, industrious and hardworking brother, now see starvation staring them in the face.” Relief efforts started immediately. The company distributed $500 worth of groceries the first day. Roslyn Mayor Charles Miller organized a committee to care for the families of dead miners. “We must help those poor women and children and must do so at once,” he said. “The men had been working an average not more than two days a week, and very few had a single cent saved.” Throughout the state, towns formed committees that raised disaster relief money. Seattle alone contributed $1,776. Within a few days, $7,000 poured in from outside towns and another $2,000 was raised in Roslyn. But it wasn’t enough. A coroner’s inquest was conducted. “We find that the deceased persons (naming the miners) came to their death by the explosion of fire damp in Mine No. 1,” the inquest determined. “We further find that the said explosion was caused, in our opinion, by deficient ventilation.” The Northern Pacific Coal Company paid relatives of dead miners a cash settlement. Aftermath

284 Many of the widows left Roslyn, while others stayed. For them, the years that followed were hard. Perhaps typical was the story of Mrs. Thomas Brennan, as told by her daughter, Jinnie Oversby, in 1955. When her husband was killed, Mrs. Brennan was left with seven children. She continued living in Ronald. “I can see mother today as she knelt in the little Catholic Church on the hill, attending her husband’s funeral service, far from her old home and relatives; now there were seven children to care for,” Mrs. Oversby wrote. “She was not alone in her sorrow, as six other widows were attending the same service. “Roslyn was a mission field at that time, and a Priest came from Ellensburg several times a year,” she said. “While Father Kuster was conducting the funeral services for the deceased miners, five young couples were waiting in the church to be married, at the same time a number of young mothers were seated in the rear of the church holding their infants and praying that Father would have time to baptize them. It seemed that a cross section of life was enacted there that day.” “Then the struggle for existence began in earnest,” she continued. “To help support her family, Mother often carried a bundle of laundry from Roslyn to Ronald and back again, hoping to earn a mere pittance. In one case the milliner for whom she worked refused to pay her and insisted upon her taking an outmoded hat instead. Much to mother’s dismay, she walked back the four miles to No. 3 with an old hat but no money.” In 1897, Thomas Brennan’s widow married Luke McDermott and the family moved to Prosser. After the mine disaster of May 10, 1892, life went on. For the families of dead miners, survival was a struggle. Eventually, the pain eased, but the tragedy was never forgotten. It remains the worst tragedy in the history of Kittitas County.

41. Robert Spotts These obituaries were but two from The Cle Elum Echo of those who died in the Number 1 mine explosion in Roslyn, Washington State, on May 10, 1892. "WINYARD STEEL was born in Hartfordshire, England, in the year 1850. He followed the occupation to which circumstances led him, that of a coal miner, from an early age, he worked in various mining towns in England in the neighborhood of his childhood's home until 1880, when he came to the United States, locating at Streator, Ill., where he remained for 10 years. He has been in Roslyn for 2 years. One noticeable peculiarity in the vicissitudes of his career, although a man who thoroughly understood his business and a miner habitually more watchful than the majority of his fellow workmen, he seemed to have been willed by the hand of destiny to be unfortunate in his work on this earth. Many were the injuries he sustained, having his arms, legs, ribs and other parts of the body badly bruised and jammed at various times. He was a considerate father and husband, revered by wife and children, he was courageous, logical, amiable and kind. He belonged to the Ancient Order of Foresters of Streator." "JAMES MORGAN was a Welshman, born in the beautiful little watering town of Abbrys, on the shores of Cardigan Bay in Wales. Seventeen years ago he came to the United States settling in Pennsylvania, and following there for some time his vocation as a coal miner. Since then he has plied his calling in the states of Maryland, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Indian Territory, coming to this state about three years ago and locating in Roslyn. He is not known to have any relatives in this country, but has a brother in the town of Mountain , South Wales, Great Britain. Courtly and modest in his address and sincere at all times, we found in Jimmy Morgan, beneath the habiliment of a coal miner, a man of sterling worth and a gentleman. He was a member of the order of Knights of Pythias and belonged to the local lodge of that order in Murphysboro, Illinois."
