On May 18, 1889, Ditley Anderson deeded to George Pennington one
square acre of land, reserving "a space of sufficient sice (sic) to
bury ten persons, and the privilege of crossing said tract for such
purpose. Said tract to be used - a burrying (sic) yard for the
dead." On June 18, 1904, George and Emma Pennington deeded the same
tract to "The Trustees of the Haynie Cemetery Association" and
buried twin sons there. In the beginning, those who worked to help
clear the ground received a cemetery lot in payment.
The name "Haynie" is said to have come from a surveyor by the
name of "Haney" who was hired to survey for a railroad between
Blaine, Lynden and Bellingham.
The cache is a small magnetic keyholder. Please park with care,
be respectful, and cache in, trash out. The cemetery is closed from
sunset to sunrise.
