To reach this cemetery from old Hwy 195, as one enters the town of Spangle, turn south or right onto Spangle Road and stay on it straight up the hill, and one will run into the cemetery.
The death dates on the markers range from 1894 to 2009, and 1821 is the earliest birth date shown. Spangle was first settled in 1872 by William Spangle. The town site was platted in 1879. George W. Spangle was born in Illinois in 1836 and was a Union Soldier with the 133rd Illinois Infantry. Co. G. George W. Spangle died in 1906. There are 1,417 individuals listed in this index.
“As near as I can find out, this cemetery began about 1894. I have not successfully accessed the sexton files to compare my work with them. I have researched and found additional names of others buried here, which had no marker when I read the cemetery. I cannot vouch for their accuracy or the accuracy of the stones.”
“This is a replacement transcription for the first one I did in 1998, which was a transcription from a book to start with and included additional names in my research. I created this new transcription in 2001, basically from tombstone and marker readings.”
“An asterisk * has been placed following any entry added, for which I found no marker. I found these names entered into the following resources: "Gateway to the Palouse, 4th Ed.", by Nona Hengen, various obituaries, and a transcription done in 1961, and published by EWGS, and various old death records.”
“If there is a difference between a record found elsewhere and what I have, I will recheck the stone and correct if necessary. I use the stones as the basis of my work. If what the stone has disagrees with what is found elsewhere, researchers can note that I will not change what the stone has, but will correct errors I might have made in transcribing from the stone.”
“I walked and read Spangle Cemetery, using a digital camera, on Sep 13-14, 2001, and have a digital photo of all existing and legible stones or markers at that time. After 2001 they are from obits or family.”
