Who can be buried in the GAR Cemetery. Anyone?

Surnames: Barthen
My great-great-uncle Henry George Barthen is buried in the GAR Cemetery in Snohomish. (Born Chippewa Falls Wisconsin 1888, died Tacoma Washington 1942).

He wasn't in the military as far as I know because he suffered from Polio as a boy and walked with a limp.

My question is this: What were the qualifications to buried in that cemetery? Could anybody be buried there?

Thank you,
Barb
