- Notes:
The Yale Cemetery is located about 22 miles east of Woodland, Washington. The original cemetery was located upon an acre of land on the north slope of the Yale Valley. John Trontla, whose grave is located on a high knoll overlooking the valley, donated the land for the original cemetery in 1886. Many graves, including several that perished in the 1902 Yacolt Fire, are unmarked.
Eventually, Cowlitz County Cemetery District #2 took over the management of the Yale Cemetery in the 1950s. The Cemetery District purchased 5 acres as an addition to the original cemetery.
