From Granite Falls: take State Route 92 from Lake Stevens to Granite Falls. Turn left (north) onto Jordan Road at the roundabout. The cemetery is almost exactly 5 miles on your right.
Cemetery History: The cemetery was established in 1907 and the first burial was in 1911. There are approximately 40 markers in this small cemetery. It is believed that additional community members may also be buried here in unmarked graves. The tiny town of Jordan put down more roots when a group of men gathered together on April 9, 1907, to form the Jordan Cemetery Association. At this meeting, they discussed where to put their cemetery. Old Man Hamilton was already the first of the early settlers to be put into the ground, and his daughter, Lizzie Hamilton, wanted to sell one acre of her land where her father was buried. Jacob Peterson offered to donate an acre of land located on a hill at his place, but the men finally settled on Charles Johnson's proposed cemetery plot of more than an acre. Each man gave $2, and to pay for his individual burial lot. Most of them donated their labor to prepare the grounds. After that, lots were sold to other people. In 1913, the cemetery was enclosed with a fence. Today, it is peaceful ground off the Jordan Road.
