The Martha K. Flint dedicated bench is located on a grassy area overlooking the gravesite.

The Republic Cemetery is within Ferry County and is maintained by the town. There are approximately 2,100 interments with the first being Patrick Callaghan in 1898.

"When a mine accident in 1898 claimed the life of Patrick Callaghan the citizens of Republic realized the Town had no cemetery. Determined to correct this oversight, Mrs. John Stack, wife of the prominent civic leader and merchant, John Stack, mounted her horse and searched the countryside for an appropriate location. The chosen burial grounds, overlooking the lovely San Poil Valley and surrounded by awe-inspiring peace and beauty, stands as a continuing memorial to the intrepid pioneers who rest there."
