The cemetery was located on the grounds of the Catholic Church at the old town of Burke across the freeway northeast of George. It was in Township 18N, Range 23 E, in the SE corner of section 1, at the Intersection of Rd L and Rd 5 NW. The cemetery has since been vacated and the bodies removed. Some graves were moved to Quincy Cemetery and are noted under “Notes” in the cemetery records.
Fred Pflugrth is not sure where others were moved. He compiled a list of burials from obits, from “The Pioneer’s Memory Book” by Anna M Fleckenstein Berner 1952, and the Grant County Genealogical Society Bulletin.
The 1909 map of Grant and Douglas shows the old town of Burke, shown on this map as about ten miles south and west of Quincy, WA.
The Custom SEARCH Builder ‘Add Condition’ Button filter above the data table is used to search (filter) data in any or all column(s) of the data table. You select the columns needed to limit your search. Use the Clear ‘X’ or ‘Clear All’ button to clear out any prior search text you have entered to start over.
Use the ‘+’ button on the left of the row to better view data for that row in a dialog box window rather than the wrapped text in each cell of the table.
The table SEARCH box filter on the top right can also be used to search for data in ANY column. No need to use ‘wildcard’ characters in your search, the filters do that automatically, therefore don’t put too much info in the custom or table filter boxes; it could cause nothing to be found; start with just a few characters in the search boxes.
You can PRINT, download in CSV format, or copy to the clipboard the displayed records.
Use the ‘Show Entries’ pulldown to control how many rows of data to display on each page. Always check the print preview and verify the number of pages you want to print.
