Owned by Peninsula Social Club Cemetery
Parcel No. 2709300055, which is part of a larger parcel,
Owned by Peninsula Heritage Land Trust
Of all the Peninsula cemeteries it seems that the Home and Minter cemeteries are the smallest, with only nine recorded burials in the Home Cemetery and four in the Minter.
From the sparse records available on this land it would seem that Joseph Hieman on November 16, 1920, conveyed it to the Home Grange #701 of Home, WA.
Records further show that on May 29, 1922, the home Grange #701 sold the land to the Peninsula Social Club for $1.00 for the purpose of it being used for a cemetery.
With no active association to look after it, it has long since fallen into disrepair. The road leading to it is grown up with brush and is no longer accessible by car.

Olalla Cemetery (Kitsap County)
(AKA Old Olalla Cemetery and Old Pioneer Cemetery)
Lat: 47° 25.739’ and Lon: -122° 33.489’ (Only about)
Olalla Cemetery is at the top of the hill, north side of the hwy, overlooking Olalla Bay and the store.
TPCGS 1982: On the corner of Olalla Valley Road SE and Orchard Ave SE, across from the water.
Located on the Gig Harbor Peninsula just over the Pierce County line in Kitsap County. It sits high on a hill overlooking a small inlet in Puget Sound. It is a pioneer cemetery, overgrown and seemingly forgotten, with many stones tipped and broken or completely lost. Only one grave, that of a little Oriental boy, in a far corner of the cemetery is well kept.
One can approach the cemetery only by a narrow foot path up the side of the hill and through a wire and pipe gate on a post.
It was established, according to early records, at a meeting of the electors of School District #17 on February 2, 1901, and consists of one and one-half acres. The cemetery was abandoned in 1930 and there have been no burials in it since that date.
Inventoried by Puget Sound Genealogical Society in Feb 2005.
T22N R2E SEC03. Not found. (Would be 032202-X-XXX-XXXX). 1.5 Acres
