McLane Cemetery (AKA Mud Bay)
Delphi Road SW
Olympia, WA 98512 USA
McLane Cemetery lies on the crest of a small hill overlooking the McLane Valley and McLane Creek. The plot is bounded on the north by US Highway 101 and on the west by Delphi Road SW. William McLane settled at Mud Bay near Olympia, WA, in the early 1850's on a land grant of 360 acres. Land for a school and cemetery was deeded by him to the McLane School District on 23 July 1883. The cemetery remained in school district ownership until the district itself was annexed by the Olympia School district in 1965. In 1968 the Olympia District deeded the cemetery back to the heirs of the original grantor. The cemetery has been vandalized and has fallen into complete disrepair, with only a few grave markers and stones remaining. The names and dates for interments in this cemetery is mainly gleaned from the memories of Margaret Grace McLane Ramsauer and Elsie McLane Shannon, surviving family members, and Adah Dye, local historian.

Mima Prairie Pioneer Cemetery
15025 Mima Rd SW
Olympia, WA 98512 USA
This cemetery is located southwest of Littlerock, Washington on Mima Praire Rd. SW approximately 0.5 mile before Mima Road becomes 152nd Ave and then Gate Road SW. From their original donation land claim, John and Polly Laws donated what was a part of their orchard for this cemetery in 1869. There is evidence of 45 burials and only 6 of them are completely unreadable. Strangely enough, there is no evidence of wooden markers which were used frequently in the era of this burial ground. The earliest burial was in 1864 and the most recent in 1991 with the majority of the burials in the 1860's and the first decade of the 1900's.

Although the land was not acquired by the Catholic Church until 1873, it was evidently used earlier since some of the stones predate that time. The property (slightly over two acres) was part of the Donation Land Claim of Jessie Ferguson. Around 1900 the conditions deteriorated and a number of the individuals were moved. Many of the pioneers of the area were buried there. It is associated with the earliest period of Tumwater history. The Pioneer Calvary Cemetery was the first Catholic Cemetery in the area.
