Union Gap, WA

The Pioneer Graveyard is the final resting place for more than 100 people. Among its burials are the first woman of European descent to be interred in the valley, a couple killed in a reprisal raid in an Indian war, and a Civil War veteran.

There are also many unmarked graves dating back to when Union Gap was known as Yakima City.

The cemetery was established in December 1865, the same year the Civil War ended. The first person to be buried there was Priscilla Goodwin, whose husband, L.H. Goodwin, had led a 300-member wagon train to the area in October 1865.
