Cemetery Tour
Approximately 150 people attended the 4th Annual Twilight Cemetery Tour
on August 31st. It was a beautiful evening in a tranquil and beautiful spot,
where four of the cemetery’s occupants’ life stories were re-enacted. Gary
Fahrner acted as Johnny B. Clark; Charles Dawson as Olaf Quaale; Janet
Kuller as Gladys Taylor; and Art Kuller as Walter Taylor. The audience was
spellbound and the re-enactors did a tremendous job. Thanks to Diane
Baker of Novelty Cemetery Association for organizing the event, recruiting
re-enactors, and writing the scripts.
We are grateful to 4culture,
the King County Cultural
Services Agency, for their
support in the preservation
of our heritage.
Art and Janet Kuller, re-enaction as Walter and Glady Taylor
Gary Fahrner re-enacting as Johnny B. Clarke
