"Glacier Township Cemetery is located on a footpath, about 200 feet long, running northeast from the Mt. Baker Highway (State Highway 542), 1 mile east of the Glacier Post Office. The path entry is about 750 feet east of the entrance to the Mt. Baker Rim development or 250 feet west of Glacier Creek Road, and is marked with a chain and "No Trespassing" sign. To reach the cemetery from I-5, take the Sunset Drive exit (Exit 255, St Hwy 542 East and Mt Baker also appear on highway signage). Proceed east on Sunset Drive East/Hwy 542 East (Sunset Drive East becomes Mt. Baker Hwy after about 2 miles) 14.4 miles to Deming. From Deming, continue east on Mt. Baker Hwy 35 miles.

The 1.3 acre tract is located in the SE corner of SW1/4 of SE1/4 Sec 5, T39N R7E and was donated to the township by Mrs. Nellie SAMPSON, with the first burial in 1924. A search of township records in files of County Commissioners found nothing relating to the cemetery. Jake STEINER of Glacier was helpful in securing information when the first cemetery series by WGS were done in 1974, at which time headstone data was recorded. There is no known contact."
