OBITUARIES of PIONEER FAMILIES BURIED AT WILBUR CEMETERY,
LINCOLN COUNTY, WILBUR WASHINGTON
This is a compilation of obituaries of Pioneers and others
who lived and died in Lincoln
County. The spouse has been included where possible, as
have a few of their infant children.
FOR FURTHER FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO BURIED HERE IN THE WILBUR
CEMETERY, NOTE THE BLOCK/LOT NUMBERS AND CHECK THE
WILBUR CEMETERY LISTING.
The spellings on the headstones is sometimes different than the
one in the newspaper obituary, needless to say I don't know which is correct, so
I left them as is. The Obituaries were typed in by
Daryll Bahr and only slightly edited by me.
Daryll provided much of this information because of the many
headstones of these pioneers that recorded "no information" on them
and had no dates. Information in parenthesis was provided. These
obituaries were taken from the Wilbur Register, Wilbur, Washington
Submitted by Daryll Bahr and transcribed by Rella

tractor to fix the coupling that held the plow to it &
that the machine had backed just enough to throw him down
& crush the life out of him.

found that the boy's arm, was broken & cut badly but there
was no bleeding, indicating that death had been
instantaneous. The accident occurred several hours before
