The Wynooche Cemetery is currently owned by the City of Montesano. It was originally named Mound Cemetery after the pioneers' nickname for the hill — Mace's Mound. It first opened in April 1871, when two acres of the mound were purchased at a price of $10 per acre. That same afternoon, Mrs. Marcellus Luark (Frances Redman Luark) was interred.
On May 20, 1871, a meeting was held in the schoolhouse, and a sale of cemetery lots was conducted; the price was $5 per lot. On June 28, 1871, the bodies which had been buried in the cemetery near the schoolhouse and Methodist Church were exhumed and interred in the Wynooche Cemetery.
