Historical Background
Salmo Doukhobor Cemetery was established in 1937 by the Salmo Doukhobor Society for its members. Located near Boulder Creek, it is also known as Boulder Creek Cemetery. It is in active use and is owned and maintained by the Society. The cemetery is in very good condition.
Layout
The cemetery is 2.5 acres in size and is enclosed by a wire fence with a single iron gate. The cemetery contains 173 interments in two sections comprised of twenty rows facing east-west. Approximately 53 of the graves have no marker, however, many of the mounds are still clearly visible. I have used death registrations to identify these. With respect to graves with markers, the markers are typically plain slate, marble or concrete upright headstones or flat markers set flush to the ground. Click here for an online cemetery map.
