He situated it close by the family home and garden just above Ebey's Landing. [The site, located northeast of the Ferry House, is visible today from the "Prairie Overlook" across the street from Sunnyside Cemetery.] In August 1857, thirty-nine-year-old Isaac joined Rebecca in the family's graveyard when he was murdered by Kake Indians. Much of Isaac's family soon followed: his mother, Sarah, died in 1859, his daughter, Hetty, in 1861, his father, Jacob, and sister, Ruth, both passed away in 1862. In 1865, the death of Winfield Ebey left only one of Isaac's siblings still alive on Whidbey. Mary Ebey Bozarth's decision to bury her brother, Winfield, in a new location resulted in the creation of a second "Ebey Grave Yard"—and the start of a cemetery that would one day be called Sunnyside.	5
