Silverdale Pioneer Cemetery
submitted by: James Black

I was doing some research on the cemetery with what you had written on the KitsapWaGen web site on the pioneer cemetery.You stated that Thomas A Hagener had donated the land for the cemetery so his mother-in-law would have a place to be buried because she was buried in Columbus St, Clairs yard, I see that Annie Mast was also St.Clairs mother-in-law. Well anyway I did some extensive research at the court house in Port Orchard and found 2 documents on the cemetery that say Columbus and Sophie St.Clair sold that 5 arcers to the Silverdale Cemetery Asso. back in 1917. I also hope you give credit to St.Clairs for the cemetery like it was written for Thomas Hagener.
