A guided tour of the GAR Cemetery on Saturday, October 24 at 10am includes the story of the why there are two graves for Clifford Blackman.
Warner Blake, author of “Early Snohomish,” will lead the tour that features the tombstones of Snohomish’s earliest settlers.
The cemetery is located west of Snohomish at 8601 Riverview Road, and signs will direct you to the tour starting point near the caretaker’s garage. Tour is offered rain or shine, good walking shoes are required since the ground is very uneven, and allow an hour and a half for the tour.
Clifford Blackman was one of two children raised in the Society’s historic home, the Blackman House Museum. His sister Eunice eventually lived in the home with her husband, then as a widow until the 1960s when it was sold to the Society.
Besides the family plots for the Blackman Brothers, other grave sites on the tour include those for the Ferguson’s, Harvey’s, Bakeman’s, Cochran’s and others.
A seasonal disclaimer: This is a history tour. Participants are responsible for their own ghost stories since none will be told by the tour guide.
