BOULDER CEMETERY - MONTANA·
MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2020·
The first known printed mention of the Boulder cemetery can be found in “The Boulder Age” newspaper dated October 10, 1888. At that time the cemetery was named “Hillside Cemetery”. There are burial markers dated before this time and the oldest

known headstone is of a John Rohrbacker, died 1869. A September 1897 newspaper article reported that the first person buried in the Boulder Cemetery was John Carris (or Karis), buried in February 1868. He lost his life from a building falling on him in Peter’s Gulch. Ab Earhart heard of the casualty and rode a horse nearly to death for a doctor, but Carris had died instantly upon being crushed by the building. The snow was about three feet deep at the time. Carris was taken out on a sleigh pulled by horses. The grave was dug by his friend David Kinnear. In 1897, Kinnear was latter laid to rest next to Carris. (NOTE: David Kinnear is listed in the Boulder voting registration list for 1892. He died from cancer at the approximate age of 65, was born in Canada and came to Boulder via Oregon in 1867. Kinnear was a member of the Good Templars). The second reported burial was the son of one Emory H. Unfortunately markers for Carris/Karis, Woods or Kinnear have not been located. Other early burials reported, no markers found:
Some of the early burials, no markers found, noted in newspaper articles include:
Charles Woods, son of John Woods, died in 1866
Jeremiah Hazed Woods, born 1824 in Pennsylvania and died March 1886
“John Littleton, who worked on the Northern Pacific railroad section here, dropped dead at the boarding car last Thursday morning. No relatives in this part of the county; believe originally from Harrisburg PA; age about 40. Buried September 1898.”
“William Flaherty of Cold Springs, early pioneer, died at home. Survived by wife, no children. Buried Boulder. Died September 1898.”
And in a July 12, 1924 newspaper there is an account of a skeleton found at Bernice who was to be buried in the Boulder Cemetery as unidentified. Acting coroner Ned Paradis, and jury composed of J.E. Wild, Joe Nugent, W.C. Wood, Frank Wahle, J.H. Baker and Ed Smith, rendered the verdict: “That the skeleton is that of a woman whose identity is unknown and who came to her death as the result of her skull being crushed about the temple by a blunt instrument in the hands of persons unknowns. No marker or other records.”

Big news to share! After receiving training in Chicago, I’m now a Certified Funeral Celebrant.
This training allows me to create and lead non-religious ceremonies that honor a person’s life through story, memory, and connection. Whether a service is held in a family home, at a funeral home, graveside, or beneath the Montana sky, my goal is always the same: to help families remember and celebrate in ways that feel genuine and personal.

I’m honored to continue serving our community in this new capacity through Leaving Well.
