Historical Background
Koch Siding Cemetery, as it was originally known, was established in 1914 by the by the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood (“CCUB”) to serve the Koch Siding settlement. Since 1923, the cemetery has been known as Slocan Park Doukhobor Cemetery, after the nearby community of Slocan Park. Located along the Slocan River valley, it is sometimes also known as Valleyview Cemetery. Following the demise of the CCUB in 1937-1939, Slocan Park Doukhobor Cemetery continued to be used by its successor organization, the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (“USCC”). It is still in active use today. It is owned and maintained by the USCC Cemetery Association.
Layout
The cemetery is approximately three acres in size and is not enclosed. The cemetery contains approximately 314 interments in a single section comprised of seven rows facing east-west. Many of the graves (90) have no marker and the mounds have been leveled. I have used death registrations and oral tradition to identify forty-eight of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. 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.
