This report of the Hamilton Cemetery was compiled by LaVere Peters in December 2000, from the following: 11 October 1981 report prepared by Marion. Joanne Calhoun, who listed 61 graves, stated that there might be 10 or 12 unmarked graves. Another report 30 October 2000 prepared by Howard Lowell, who walked the cemetery, reported a total of 70 burials plus an unknown number of unmarked graves. He commented that the cemetery is in pretty good shape and that he thinks it is cleaned once a year for Memorial Day.
The asterisks preceding some names in the cemetery records indicate that some information was added from obituaries. Their reports were supplemented by information from the library of the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society in Wenatchee, Washington. Notations surrounded by parentheses in the “Notes” column in the cemetery records are quotations from the headstones. The WAGS Library has a map of the Hamilton Cemetery as well as a map showing the location of all the known cemeteries in Douglas County.

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.
