Farmer
Cemetery, a.k.a. Happy Home Cemetery, is located 1 mile North
of the former town site of Farmer, Washington. A large grange
hall at the corner of Highway 2 and Highway 172 (to
Withrow/Mansfield) and the cemetery are all that remain of the
town. The grange hall is still used for potlucks and dances.
From the appearance, the cemetery is about an acre in size. It
is notable that most of the head stones are facing west, with
exception of the last row, which faces east to meet the rising
sun. There are approximately 95 interments, the first in 1893
and the last being in 1997.
