This project is for those who are buried in San Juan Cemetery, Friday Harbor, Washington.
The San Juan Presbyterian Church was built in 1882 on a site donated by Matthias Lundblad. The Gothic frame church, called the "Valley Church", was patterned after the Presbyterian Stone Church in Port Townsend (1877-1889) and is the oldest remaining Presbyterian building in the State of Washington. Used until 1891, the building sat idle until the organization of the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in 1901. In 1931 the church cemetery was separated by transfer to the newly formed San Juan Cemetery Association. In 1951 the church and cemetery were deeded to San Juan County. The church building was restored and became the San Juan Valley Community Church. The cemetery is also known as Emmanuel Presbyterian Cemetery, San Juan Presbyterian Cemetery and Valley Cemetery.
