History and Significance of the Aubum Pioneer Cemetery "• ��
...,
— �.. .
Previously referred to as the Faucett Cemetery, the Cemetery at Slaughter, and �_ •� � '"�
ihe Japanese Cemetery, the Auburn Pioneer Cemetery is the resting place tor � ,�
sane of Auburn's early settlers as�vell as many of the Japanese and Japanese - - � , i' ' �
Americans who resided in th2 White River Valley. Located in a peaceful farminy �.,� i �
�' area north oi the town ot Slaughter (later renamed Aubum)the land was used by �� - ' � (
� John and Rachel Faucett as their family burial plot in the 1860,s and was call�d � _ � ,.
Faucett Cemetery. Abouf ten years later the land was donated as an offi� r,l ` �, ',,
� =emetery and was divided into 91 plots as the Cemetery at Slaughter in 1 H89. I!� ` ''�..�
Many early pioneers were buried there: but frequent spring flooding of the neart,, � : . } 'r, ��
--� �ivers convinced some families to move their departed to newer cemeteries on ti���r �� -- =- �- ' .
��� �urrounding hillsides. � ,�..n� — - `� f ^, �
, -.r� � , �-.�' ` ` �
In the 1890's Japanese immigrants began farming in Auburn. The first Japanese � 1 s �
numment at the cemetery was recorded in 1890, and was followed by many ,p � ' _ '
others. With the establishment of the White River Buddhist Temple in 1912 the •�� . 3;;1 '• � � ' YfG ��'
c�ro�,viny Japanese community had a relationship to the cemetery, and ihe eastem � � ��
� po7�on of the property was granted for their use. In return, temple members began Ay.. y���'� 0. __ � � �
� a Icng-term commitmeN to mamtain the monuments and grounds. After the '
„� ?loca�ion of the Japanese cominuniry duriny World War II few families returned to �` I � �f; -
' �F White River Valley.

Preliminary Cost Estimate
i�; f�cilitate planning for the implementation ot improvements for the Aubum Pioneer
;emetery. the following costs estimates are separatecl into four components:
- -iardscape and Parking, Interpretive Material and Gathenng Space, Care of Historic
Markers, and Landscape hnprovements. The estimates are for ihe Construction
Cost only. and do not include amounts such as adnunistrative and manayement
cost. design and permrt fees, or WasMngton State Sales Tax which must be added
� to produce a Pro�ect Cost. The esumates do mclude a coniingency amount
uitended to cover unforeseen condltions or increases In the bidding chmate, and the
*;n!ingency vanes according to the level of nsk in each component ca[egory. As
� �;�c �.�lanning process proceeds into final plans and specifications, these preliminary
est estunates will be refined and updated.
—�
�� The cosi estimates arP based on the require�nents of a Public Works Contract,
� �vhich involves yreater administrative requirements of the ContraGor and mandates
F�aving prevailing wayes on all labor. If the work is bid under a pnvata ayreement
me eosts would likely be reduced. The Hardscape and Parking componeni
�vould certciinly be a Public Works Contracl with the Cdy of Auburn, but the

2. The White River Buddhist Temple has had a key role in the history of the cemetery and will continue to be a ma�or voice in ir fut�u%
development. The Seattle Buddhist Tempie will provide support and outreach to the entire Japanese American communiiv. �
3. The cemetery exists unchanged almost as a time capsule of an earlier age, surroundc�d on all sides by the growth and devri ,�m �ni , t 4��:
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE MASTER PLAN
,_..
4. The plan should rec;ogn¢e that the number of future inurnments(currently averaging two per yearl will eventually cease due to the require�• � �
allowing only descendants of Ihose already represent�d in the cemetery, as well as the ongoing trend of families moviny out of the area.
5. Since there will be a large portion of ihe site that will never be used as cemetery plots, the focus should be on creatiny a quiet park-��. : ,-��r�
6. Attractin, the ublic to en o the cemelery/park would be the ldeal wa to enerate Interest and awareness of the hlsto of the cen ini�r-. ♦�'�

MASTER PtAN COMPONENTS
8. The perimeter ed�es of the site are critical to the image of the cemetery and welcoming the public. The sidewalk alony Auburn Way North
is pinched by the busy arlerial and ihe cemetery fence, and developiny a pathway through the cemetery to the north yate would prowde an
altemative route through the park-like settiny. It would also assist In engaging the public�vRh any historic and interpretive material.
�� �3 The east side of the site is an undeveloped parking area shared with Auburn Sports and Marine across 8'" Street NE, and is an uninviting
� enirance to the cemetery for vi5itors arriving by cac This area should be developed to include 5 or 5 designated parking stalls for cemetery
v�sitors wrth plantings and barriers to help protec[the wrought iron fencmg as well as creatiny a welcoming arnval. This parking area should
ilso include at le2st one handicappecl accessible s[all and possibly a van-accessible spot.
� i u The center of the site under the largest deciduous tree is a natural gathering spot and a key area for interpretive maierial, surrounded by the
—� origmal pioneer monuments and the historic boulder, and with a sweeping view of the rows ot Japanese Amencan markers.
��
� t t. The ground disturbance radar survey will be matched with GIS information to create an accurate plan of available plots and likely open spaces.
This plan will be used to locate proposed pathways, gathering spacec and new plantinys.
i 2. Much of the inventnry work of the murnment rnarkers and translations has been done. When it's detennined by Museum staff that the
�—— inventory is complete. it will be included in ihe Master Plan.
� t 3 The cost of maintaining Ihe lawn should not be usecl as a major criteria in the development of plantings, but r2ther ihe overall goals ot the
-., landscape plan. Auburn is very good at mainiaining park system lawns.
;� Ex� STEPS
� a The communiry should have an opportunity to leam aboiR the Master Plan, and an ideal time would be at the White River Buddhist Temple
`.1.morial Day ceremony at the cemetery on Monday, May 29. B. Hoshide will provide the latest presentation boards and will be available to
;��swer questions after the ceremony.
� � � Cosyrove will provide a site survey or accurate site plan to assist in ihe development of the Masier Plan concept drawings and the potential
� �+a�king layoui.
-'�' ��� �n, Master PI2n Schedule was rewewed and Steerinq Committee meetings are planned m two month mtarvals, in mld-Aprll and irnd-June.

New plantiny areas are proposed at the edges of the parking area io help screen the traffic en 8` St. NE and to visually expand the park-like
, setting of the cemalery.
� s. The existing driveway access to the apartment cornplex ihrough ihe parking area is paved bui the rest of the parking area will continue to be
gravel to avoid stonn water drainaye issues. There is concem that the existmg gravel causes a significant dust problem during dry summer
�� weather.
� o. The proposed pedestrian entrance at the west sidewalk will be deleted, as it would create an undesirable short-cut through the cemetery.
l0. Demarcation of ihe inurnment 2re2s with a fine gravel surface surrounded by flush stone edging is proposed to create a subtle feeling of
:� s�credness. This chanye of material is often useci in cemeteries in Japan. Having gravel surfaces around the markers wili help alleviate the
�� �ineven grade aroun� the rows of markers, and IaNm maintenance will be easier. B. Hoshide e��ill confirm thel Ihis chanye will be in keeping
wdh the Historic Landmarks designation.
i L The larger pioneer monuments sc:attereci in the csnter of ihe site will continue to be wdhln the lawn with no surroundiny gravel areas. This will
distinguish the earliest histonc burial sites thal were traditionally set in the lawn from the rows of Japanese American markers.
l2. The center of the site under the largest deciduous tree is proposed as the main gathering spot and a key area for interpretive material and
�— inforrnal seating. The use of pavers for this special area will be studied.
�� `:E�STEPS
�a
"j r i�e White River Buddhist Ternple Mei7iorial Day ceremony at the cemetery is sched�tled for Monday. May 29 al 10:15 am. The architects will
� io;�ide the la[est presentation boards Iclearly marked "Diaft"I and will be available to answer quesLons before and after the ceremony. In
��Id�tion. the Siie Flan will be rewsed to Incorporate the items above and will be available for
��
��'� �� -� � �iistribution prior to the Memorial Day event.
� :. �:arant Application is being prepared for funding to proceed with ihe Landscape Plan and implementation oi the first phase of improvements.
�: next Steering Comrnittee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 8 at 7:00 prn. The draft ot the Master Plan Reporl ouUine was
� -�nbuted, and will be the topic of the next rneeting. If any issues anse ihat require a meeting sooner it will be scheduled by P. Cosgrove.

.. Concentrating the future burials in portlons of Lots 55, 58 and 60 in the north end, and portions of Lots 6, 7, 8 and 9 along the soufh side
, would keep the Japanese Arr�encan inumments toyether and leave the inajority of the site availat�le for other uses.
y�.
- Outlines of uncommitted lots not needed for tuture burials should be removed from the site plan to clarify the areas available for other uses,
such as pathways, gathering spc�ces and open areas. C. Hudsan to confirm that there is no legal obstar,le to removing these unused lots.
�ihE �i� (;RAVE AND INURNMENT MARKERS
� Tre historic Japanese Anierican markers are slowly bec��ming weaihered to the point of no longer Ueing legible. The concrete markers
�hould be carefully cleaned and sealed per[he recommendations in [his report. but should not be replaced as this would change the hlsioric
� character ol the cemetery. Instead. small plaques could Ue placed in ihe ground in front o(the illeyible markers wrth the kanp charactErs and
translation inscribed.
�� t;ONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN
� �� The property lines. easements or any other previous agreements regardiny the parkmg area will be researched by the City oi Auburn to confirm
that the antir,ipated improvements can move forward.
�� __ ����. U�e of a permeable paving material at ihe angled parking stalls will delineate the designated cemetery parking and help limit boat parking to
U�e gravel area The more finished paving surface will also provide a nice transition to ihe entry walkway for cemetery visitors.
� � � The new planting area at 8th St. NE will serve as a visual buffec The new irees should have a relatively high canopy and the shruhbery should
�� I I�e low to keep sight lines from the parking area to the street open.
Tne new mam visltor entrance at ihe southeast comer shoidd include large white tloywood trees to relate to the spectacular dogwoods at the
_ �-;rth arch ga[ewey.
�;
I:unations for memorials will be limited to specimen trees and plant material. Other possibilities such as paverc are difficutt to manage. and
� i ,,�ches are not recommended.
�ERY MANAGEMENT
To improve comrnunication and coordination, each year a member of the White River Buddhist Temple will be selected to serve on the Cily of
Aubum Cemetery Board.
