The Peshastin Cemetery is located about .5 miles north of the Peshastin Post Office on the North Road to Leavenworth on the corner of North Road and Anderson Canyon. It was originally named Booth Canyon after the family who first settled there. It was later changed to Anderson Canyon after Adolph Anderson, a Swede who first came to the area to work at the Blewett Mines. Jacob L. Foss, who lived near the mouth of the canyon, donated the land to the Peshastin Community for the cemetery. Today the cemetery is very well maintained and encompasses a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and orchards. (http://peshastin.org/id5.html )
Peshastin is a small community whose history has deep roots in the early irrigation of the valley. The “Peshastin Ditch” was dug by pioneers beginning in 1889. The town was platted in the early 1890s.
Obits for most are on file at the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society Library in Wenatchee, WA
The COLUMN SEARCH FILTER boxes above the data table are used for searching in any column of the data table. You can use any or all the boxes to limit your search. Use the ‘Clear Filters’ button to clear out any characters you have entered to start over. Use the bottom ‘Scroll Bar‘ to view more columns or the ‘More Details‘ button to display a window of the record’s data.
The table SEARCH box on the top right can also be used to search for data in ANY column. No need to use ‘wildcards’ in your search, the filters do that automatically, therefore don’t put too much info in any filter box; it could cause nothing to be found; start with just a few characters in the search boxes (like: jone for searching for Jones, Edward C. in the NAME column filter box), then add more characters or use other column filters to narrow your search.
You can PRINT, download in CSV or Excel 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.
