"In 1905, 0.85 acres of land for the church and cemetery were bought from Gus LIND. (This is one of three cemeteries in Whatcom County located in a church yard.) It has been the policy at this church to bury members on the west side of the church and non-members east of the church. On 28 Jun 1946, the cemetery was platted, with Andrew HILLERUD, Secretary and Kermit SAND, Chairman of the Board of Bethany Lutheran Free Church, signing the papers. A few graves were moved to permit widening of the highway.

Early cemetery records are nonexistent. Inquiries should be directed to Bethany Chapel at 360-592-2221."
